In Holland it isn't very common to wrap make-up. So, often eye shadows or lipsticks are used already, besides the testers I mean. People just like to poke in every eye shadow available or something. So I'd wish they'd wrap it up like these 2 you are showing! And indeed with tweezers you'll get 'm open real easy :).Deborahdotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464987304149443821.post-59252160757737062882012-04-30T10:55:48.313-04:002012-04-30T10:55:48.313-04:00I actually had a massive nail break opening packag...I actually had a massive nail break opening packaging like you have here last week!

All kinds of things are sealed in those awful clamshells that you nearly cut yourself on every time you try to open one There's gotta be a way to thwart shoplifters without making it hard (let alone impossible) for legitimate buyers. Medicine is often sealed so seriously that you almost can't get into it, especially if you're feeling sick, so you're not up to par. NyQuil/DayQuil is the worst. You absolutely can't get into it without scissors. All consumers really need is something to warn you if it's been tampered with. After I buy it, it's my responsibility to use it and store it safely...
