So glad this popped up was thinking of starting my own packaging thread. I picked up a lipstick that looked a pretty colour when I was going round the supermarket. When I came to use it, in a hurry to go out, and it was impossible to get into! First it was shrink wrapped in a very thick piece of transparent plastic which after struggling with for far too long I had to take the scissors to - and then when that was off I couldn't open it because there was a heavy duty security tag stuck over the side and base. That took all my strength to prise away, and left the most horrible sticky mess. With DH agitating to leave, I tried hairspray to remove it, no joy, just made it even stickier. I tried neat shampoo, no result either. I eventually got it open, but if I put it in my make up bag it will collect every bit of dust or powder going on the sticky residue, and looks awful.
This cost £4.50 for Heavens sake, I've bought more expensive jars of coffee!!!
