Fixing Broken Compacts // Champagne Pop!

I've seen this trick quite a lot on the internet and decided I wanted to give it a go! My Champagne Pop (£28.50) highlighter broke, so first of all I'm just going to say this highlighter should come with isopropyl alcohol it smashes so much, don't get me wrong its a great highlighter but everyone who i've spoken to who has it, its broken and its almost £30...
Anyway, with it being almost £30 I'm not throwing this away anytime soon, so I fixed it.

So all you have to do is crush your compact up even more, which is actually really satisfying to do, and then pour some isopropyl alcohol and mix it all up! Its so easy to do, my worry with doing this was if it was going to change the formula or the pigment of the product, however I'd completely given up on champagne pop for a hot minute so I didn't really care. 

This process was surprisingly easy to do! I left it to dry over night and by the morning it was good as new, it didn't change anything about the formula of this product at all which is great! I do SFX makeup so I already had some IPA lying around, if you don't I would say its worth buying a small bottle because it really does work well! 

I also did this with soft and gentle by MAC (£24.00) which smashed after my nephew decided it was a bouncy ball (it isn't), it was a little bit harder to do, it didn't mix quite as easily but it still worked, it just took a bit more time. Its such a good little trick that can save very expensive products! Overall would really recommend. 

Thanks for reading,

  1. Great idea! I have two Becca highlighters and neither have smashed, but then again I never take them off my vanity so they don't have much opportunity to crack. This looks quite simple, if I break any compacts I'll definitely try this! x

  2. The empty compact approach works extremely well and you can use the compact containers however you see fit. eyeshadow compact packaging
