The Lip Gloss Conspiracy

I've uncovered a vast, right-wing conspiracy regarding lip gloss.

I had my makeup professionally done for my wedding, and the woman who did it sold me the lip gloss she had used, and I've used it every day since then because I loved it. It's called Lip Glaze, and it's by Aveda. The color I use is Mango Juice.

Anyway, it's been almost 7 months, so I'm getting down to the dregs of the tube. Lately I've been frustrated because there is actually a considerable amount of product left in the tube, but I can't reach it because of the shape of the tube and the wand. This stuff is $15 online, so it's not cheap, and I really want to use it all up. I've looked online to see if anyone has any ideas for this. The best ideas I've seen so far are to heat up the tube and pour out the presumably liquified gloss, and to use a dental spatula. I don't happen to have a dental spatula up my ass today, so I guess I'll try heating it up. I also e-mailed Aveda to ask what they recommend, but despite their whole earth-friendly image, I bet they will recommend I buy another tube. We'll see.

I'll heat this thing up tonight (I guess like you would a baby bottle? In a container of water I microwaved?) and report back tomorrow. I'll have to find an appropriate vessel.
