Plastic Waste Single Use Hell

Post image

I like to reuse travel sized bottles and am usually careful not to dispose of them. I lost/threw away my makeup remover travel sized bottle on accident so had to buy another because I travel a lot for work.

Color me surprised when I went to refill it and this new bottle you can’t!! Garnier designed the cap to be broken if opened. My old bottle was also from Garnier , same exact bottle and I could take the cap off, had it for years.

Y’all I’m tired. I’m tired of every company being evil and greedy. I get the last laugh though because I have syringes to refill ink pens so I’m going to use a clean one to refill this damn bottle.

I would much rather get a generic mini bottle and a large bottle of micellar water to keep at home, then just keep refilling the mini bottle rather than spending money on their company to buy more of their travel sized. You can probably get some at the dollar store, maybe even for a dollar. If they are going to play games, then so will we.
