Stila lip glaze - how does the tube work?!?

Man, does this ever feel like a stupid question... but I received a few Stila lip glaze minis in a swap, and I cannot figure out how to get the gloss down into the brush so I can use it! (Admittedly, I haven't tried that hard because I don't want to break the tube mechanism.) Twisting the bottom just makes a clicking sound - it moved freely, but nothing happens. And pushing up with my thumb (like with a pen) doesn't work, either. So weird! Uh... a little help?

You're activating the "pen" correctly--just keep on turning the base until you get color into the brush bristles. Takes a while to get the gloss going. Don't worry, it won't break if you keep turning it. Future applications should only take a couple of turns. HTH!!
