One of my biggest pet peeve with skincare is products that come in jars. In the past most of my skincare products have come in tubes. In my birchbox I have been receiving some great samples, but some of the skincare have come in jars. Back when I was taking skincare classes we learned that skincare that comes in jars have a shorter shelf life (approx 3 months) and are at risk for contamination. Upon learning that I tried to stick with skincare that you squeeze, pump, or pour out. I don't mind skincare in jars, but I wish they would provide us with spatulas we don't have put our fingers in it. With Asian skincare or high-end skincare, I've noticed that they provide a littler spatula, but I wish everything that came in a jar had a spatula. I mean the benefit eye cream sample I got I'm not even sure if my pinkie would fit in their since it's so small. Also I find it hard to get out the right amount that I want with my finger. I would recommend going to a beauty supply shop like Sally's to find plastic cosmetic spatulas to use if you have any skincare or makeup that comes in a jar. My mom was able to dig up a old spatula for me to use so now I can go back to trying my birchbox makeup. Now I just have to figure out how to store the spatula and keep it clean. Its probably safer to just wash it before using it.
