Dollar TreeMakeup Hack!

I don't like opening and re-opening my makeup wipe baggies over and over because it dries out the wipes. I went to Dollar Tree and got this snack holder for kids and put some of the wipes there. That way, it keeps them moist.

I think it is cute, easy access, and it helps my products last longer.

The flat bottom allows me to keep it on my sink counter, but the round shape is not the best for travel. This is more of a stationary solution.

Cute or nah?

UPDATE: Someone asked how long til the wipes dry out. I noticed it depends on how long you leave it open and the quality of the wipes too. Some wipes simply dry faster than others. What I like to do is only keep a few at a time. The rest I leave in the original packaging and put it in a zip lock. In the event that the wipes dry fast at least I didn't lose ALL the packet at once if that makes sense?

... Read moreMakeup wipes are essential for many beauty enthusiasts, but one common problem is wipes drying out quickly after opening. This innovative hack using a Dollar Tree kids' snack holder offers a practical solution to maintain the moisture of cleansing wipes such as the Hydronig Sunday Essence type mentioned in the article. The snack holder’s flat bottom design ensures stable placement on your sink counter, preventing spills while making wipes easily accessible. Although this container shape is better suited for stationary use rather than travel, it effectively prolongs the lifespan of wipes by minimizing exposure to air. To further extend the freshness of your wipes, consider only transferring a small number to the snack container while keeping the rest sealed in their original packaging inside a resealable zip lock bag. This method prevents the entire pack from drying out if the wipes tend to dry fast. Quality differences in wipes also influence how quickly they lose moisture once exposed to air, so experimenting with various brands can help find the most durable option. This hack not only preserves the efficacy of your makeup wipes but also promotes a tidier and more organized beauty space. Plus, it’s a budget-friendly alternative to specialized air-tight containers often marketed for this purpose. By incorporating this Dollar Tree makeup hack into your routine, you save both money and reduce product waste, all while maintaining an effective skincare regimen.
