^ Haha that's what I was thinking! Well there's no question that it's going to work better, but honestly, I could have bent the foot by myself.

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

unfortunately, i dont think they could think up anything as attractive as the genie bottle.

I mean, for people just starting out that dont know a whole lot about makeup, sometimes the packaging (even if you dont know why you need to product) is enough to sell it.

The bend foot will help, but i was looking forward to a totally new design.

IA I think the genie bottle is so cute :p

but I can't help but feel disappointed! We've been waiting more than a year for this change and all we get is a little angle..

If they are so in love with the genie bottle why not just make it with softer material so that it is squeezable?

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

I have the UDPP (1 original in use, 2 originals brand new and the sin one) and they all have the exact same bottle. Is cute but is so hard the get the product out. I got dissapointed when the sin one came out in the same packing, in fact I was reluctant to buy it because of that but at the end I couldn't resist to try it out.

I wonder if UD have received more complaints since they didn't changed the bottle at all. I think aziajs idea is very good: a squeezable bottle would be better, because you can see they don't want to get rid of the genie bottle. I'll send an email tomorrow to UD about this, and I'll let you know if they answer me and what they say.

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

The squeezable bottle is a great idea! And honestly, by now I don't give a crap what UDPP looks like. You'd think that UD would realize the cult status of their star product and change the packaging. Sure it's not as cute, but the people who love the product won't give a crap since they already love it. UDPP got its success from word of mouth - because it actually WORKS. Do they have so little confidence in their product that they have to rely on the packaging?

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

The more I think of it, the funnier the bent foot becomes.

Us:
"We hate the genie bottle!"
"The bottle sucks!"
"You're ripping us off with this shitty bottle!"
"Change the bottle!"
"Redesign the bottle or we'll just end up buying TFSI!"

UD:
"Okay guys here's what you've been waiting for...WE BENT THE FOOT!"

Us: WTF?!

Seriously. DID THEY LISTEN AT ALL?

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

^ Personally the bottle design doesn't bother me THAT much (I've mentioned a lot of times that I just literally give the bottle a good whack...I've even chucked it forcefully at my [carpeted] floor a few times, and the product comes out fine. A pain, but fine), plus I've not been able to find a product that works as well, so I'd stick with it even if the foot wasn't bent. I know a lot of other people are unhappy about the design though, but definitely not unhappy enough to stop buying if UDPP is their HG product. I'll live with it XD
