As I was doing my makeup this morning and grabbing for a cotton swab, I was thinking I wish I had something smaller to put them in.

I took a couple of swabs and put them in and sure enough they fit perfectly. I didn't want to throw the packaging out because I thought it was pretty and now I have a use for it. I love finding new uses for things that would otherwise go in the trash.

Plus considering I always apply a balm or gloss over the lip tar anyway this was a perfect combination.  I'm so in love with this I had to share.
