I have the same problem with the smashbox primer and I don`t know where to look for a solution, do you have any idea?

BEfore you ladies bust open the packaging, try removing the inserted lip (the one that takes the excess product off the wand). I do this (once there doenst seem to be much product on the wand) and have enough UDPP for about 5-7 months afterwards. Might spare getting yourself cut!

Right, I just cut my UDPP open and filled a 5g jar plus 1/4 of another 5g jar.
If you feel as though you are running out of UDPP first take out the 'stopper' then you'll see that you'll get loads more out from just doing that. Once you have got out as much as you can, go ahead and cut it in half, you'll be shocked at how much you have left.
Just make sure you have your jars ready to store it all!

This is great information, thanks! I'm new to using UDPP and bought it for the first time about a week ago, so I'll definitely make sure to do this when it starts getting low.

this topic really just irritates me. Why people are still performing surgery on their tubes is beyond me. Y'all are doing WAY more work than you need to.
Just take out the plastic insert. That's all. Its what is put in tubes like this (like mascara, lip gloss tubes) to suck excess product off the wand so you don't end up with a globby mess when you remove the wand from the tube. If you've ever gotten a tube of mascara or lipgloss that was missing one of these due to a manufacturer mistake, you'll know what a mess you have when you don't have that insert in there.
When you get to the point where you think your tube is DEAD, just remove the insert. You'll get much more product on the wand (not the doe tip, the actual shaft of the wand) and you can take it off with your finger or a brush. Your UDPP won't dry up this way either, as it does when you try to transfer it to a jar.
Although, if you still want to go through all that nonsense to cut your tube apart, that's your crazy choice. You just don't have to.

YES. Amen sister. After I remove the insert on mine, it lasts me around 3-4 months more as well. I find that when its dead by that point, its DEAD.

I really don't mean to a smart @ss or anything... but doesn't the 5 gram jar refer to how much powder product will fit in the jar? I always assumed these jars were for powder products like pigments.
I'd imagine that the weight of the UDPP is much heavier than powder... so technically you'd be more concerned with the VOLUME of product you got... i.e. a volume of 5mL of water will weigh 5 grams, but 5 grams of powder and 5 grams of UDPP would not be the same volume.
Even if it was a 5gram/5mL jar based on water, I don't think UDPP weighs the same... so I'm guessing you got way more than 5 grams of UDPP in a "5 gram jar."
I'm sorry... I'll shut up now.

I took out the "stop" thingie in the mouth of the tube and had about 3 more months of product. I depotted mine and it dried very fast. I don't have 5g jars, so I put it in a ziploc bag, maybe this is why it dried at the next day.
Pics of how much it was left, and the last one I put the bag on my scale just to have an idea of how much it was.
Sorry about my eyelash in the product:
5g or 1/4oz:

I came across this interesting video for those of you that don't want to cut it open and end up cutting yourselves in the process. HTH!!
