What I ended at home was two vacuum pumps bottles of 15ml and 30ml each, and a couple of atomizers (one in roller form and one in spray). The two vacuum pumps bottles are in plastic so I don't have to worry about breaking it if they happen to fall on the floor. Also, I love that it's frosty see through and it's plain in design. I've seen some in MagicBoo but I don't really fancy them as they are clear see through with those metal type caps (I feel a little funny with metal scraping sound, so I try to avoid them as much as possible). The design is space saving too, with it being lean and tall.
The main reason I chose these vacuum pumps is because the bottle itself is design to push all the liquid that's inside the bottle up so that there won't be wastage. It does get annoying when you kept pumping those containers with a tube inside and it doesn't work. I do feel that there are times that I ended up wasting quite a bit because the tube just doesn't suck the lotion or the gel up. So with this, I don't actually have to worry about that. Another plus point with this container, is that it can be easily washed and reuse!
What I did was I decanted my moisturisers from Etude House into the 2 vacuum pumps (30ml to contain my Etude House Aloe Soothing Lotion - 30ml) and the 15ml to contain my AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion, which I will blog about later). The reason for this is because I tend to use the Soothing Lotion more often.
As for the atomizers, I bought two by accident actually. I was thinking which to get but I was decidedly rushing and ended up putting away the wrong product (which I don't remember what it was now, so I guess it's not really a need product... hehe). I only found out about the error when I got home. Nonetheless, it didn't go to waste because I decanted my miniature perfumes into these two atomizers! Woo hoo.... I tend not to get the regular size perfumes because I don't use it often (or that I tend to forget that I want to put perfume cause I'm always waking up late and rushing off in the morning, or I remembered whilst I was putting make up and then totally forget about it once my done, sigh). However, with miniature perfumes, I find their covers so hard to remove at most times, plus you have to keep tilting the bottles (you see a familiar dislike of mine here?) to get more of the products out. With these atomizers, I don't have to worry about it. I decanted the perfume that I use most often, which is Moschino Toujours Glamour Eau De Toilette into the roller atomizer and my DKNY Apple into the spray. These atomizers are small in size, about 7ml each, so it is just the right size for my miniature perfumes. Due to it's size, it's easily portable. I would sometimes just pack them into my handbag and bring it along with me, applying it when I do remember to.
I truly like Daiso products. They are well designed and I don't have to worry much about spillage of any sort.
By the way, if you do have containers or jars which are of a good size and easy to use, you can always wash them and decant your face creams over. I decanted my face creams into the Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream tub as well as the 10g tub of Arsainte Eco-Therapy Extreme Moisture Essential Cream. Both these tubs are wider in terms of diameter, so it's a little shorter in height, making it easier for me to reach in. wAlso, because the bottom of the tubs are curvy, I don't have to dig in to scrape all the creams out of them. All I had to do is to follow the ergonomics of the tubs and the creams will come off easily. Love them! So, do think about reusing any containers which makes it easy for you to reach for the product. Buy them only if you have to okay?
Have you have products which are still sitting on your drawers although you quite like them or love them because their containers are just, oh so unfriendly? You should try to decant them. I betcha gonna finish using them in a jiff. Have fun!
