Sometimes thinking ahead will save you frustration, inconvenience and money.... but there is also a way to recycle and reuse if you weren't able to prevent it...... It's Win/Win

You open your lipstick and get a liquidy "surprise"...

Prevent it...

If you're heading to the beach or park equipped with a cooler
for your soda, toss your lipstick in. Or bring a pot of gloss
or a tube with a wand instead of a bullet of lipstick. This way,
if the color melts, it will cool into the same shape...

Save it...

If your lipstick is soft but not yet dribbling, place it in the
fridge or prop it up near an air conditioner. If it's really liquidy,
scoop the lipstick into a small empty plastic pot, and you have a
new container for your favorite color...
