Transform your empties into something fabulous.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that we\u2019re head over heels obsessed with trying the latest beauty products. But with our passion comes a problem: what should we do with the empty perfume bottles, candle votives, and other finished containers? Make your vanity a little more gorgeous and save the earth<\/a> by upcycling your beauty products. Here are 10 ways turn your empties into new items that are useful, eco-friendly, and fab.<\/p>\n

1. Glue a figurine on top of a cream jar and spray paint it to create a\u00a0decorative holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Repurpose the\u00a0LUNA™ play<\/a>\u00a0as a brush cleaner. (Don\u2019t pay for those pricey silicone brush cleaners! Just wet your device, apply brush cleanser, and glide your makeup brush through the LUNA play\u2019s soft silicone bristles.)<\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0You can also recycle your LUNA play! If you don\u2019t want to keep it as a makeup brush cleaner, learn how you can\u00a0give it a second life\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Turn extra compacts into a\u00a0wall mirror masterpiece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Make an oil diffuser<\/a>\u00a0from a perfume bottle.<\/p>\n

5. Clean an old liquid eyeliner brush to use as a nail art pen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Turn a used candle into a\u00a0makeup brush holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. Clean a candle and use it as a flower vase.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Attach empty glass cosmetics jars to a wooden board and plant herbs to create a chic\u00a0planter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. Say goodbye to purchasing body scrubs and reuse empty scrub containers to hold\u00a0DIY beauty products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10. Clean out an empty lipstick tube for a easy-to-tote bobby pin holder.
\nRecycling Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not feeling crafty? Don\u2019t throw your empties away! Instead, recycle them. Glass, tin, cardboard, and hard plastic (like your shampoos, conditioners, and body wash containers) can all be recycled. If you have a hard plastic item, simply give it a rinse and toss it in the blue recycling bin.\u00a0It\u2019s pretty cool that it takes only a few seconds to help save the environment.<\/p>\n

If you’re a diehard fan of a specific beauty brand, check to see if the company has a recycling program. Some\u00a0companies (like MAC Cosmetics and LUSH) reward their customers with a free product when they bring back empty containers.\u00a0Return five\u00a0black LUSH jars to receive a free face mask and\u00a0at MAC, score a free\u00a0lipstick when you bring back six\u00a0MAC containers.<\/p>\n
