I&#8217;m never without a bruise.  Despite this I don&#8217;t really drop or break too many things.  In the past year I&#8217;ve only dropped one coffee cup and dropped that sack of hot aquarium rocks.  <\/p>\n<p>So why do I have such a problem with eye shadow containers?  Yes, I admit, I drop them sometimes, and usually that&#8217;s all she wrote for those flimsy-ass things.  But why do they have to make them so crappy?  Blush and powder containers aren&#8217;t like that; they&#8217;re sturdy and well-built.  Why does a plastic container made by the same company but for a different substance need to be constructed so shoddy that it breaks if you look at it funny?<\/p>\n<p>The brand or price doesn&#8217;t matter, either.  Even the expensive department store counter stuff snaps away &#8212; but only the eye shadow containers.  Dude, do you know how much I paid for that silly little ice cube of solid color?  Why the hell would you make the hinges out of a cheap plastic with a holow metal pin?  How much makeup did you sniff before you designed this jewel?<\/p>\n<p>See, a little eye shadow can go a long way so you can imagine I&#8217;m going to be dipping into this container for a good six months to a year.  I will be opening it up and closing it back again EVERY DAY.  It&#8217;s made of slippery shiny plastic that tends to get covered with a fine dust of powder.  You know what &#8212; <em>that gets pretty slippery.<\/em>  I just might drop it. <\/p>\n<p><strong> DESIGN FOR THAT.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/58\/221498769_9b1225da3c.jpg\" width=\"400\" alt=\"broken makeup containers vex me\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m one of the first to tell you that I&#8217;m a clumsy person &#8212; always writing on my pants, door frames running into me, counter tops getting into my way, et cetera.
