If you are having trouble opening the product, just give it a good, hard twist!!! Don’t try to pry it open, you have to twist it really hard to get it open the first time.

I bought the product because I trust anything Ellen says and was ready to throw it at the first cosmetic counter I came upon. We tried everything to open it and was still trying while waiting for my Rhumatologist and he put his master strength behind it and he finally got it open.
Now to see if it works.

Funny! I’m physically fit and have a PhD to boot. It took me five minutes to open the darn thing. That’s what happens when 22-year-old male packaging engineers design products for 40-something women. Another flaw — there’s no mirror in here! You’d think with the massive infrastructure built around the makeup, someone would think to add a small mirror!

I had such a hard time opening the thing that I decided others did too, so I went to my computer and typed in the question. Believe me, the sticker is not the problem. I took that off immediately. I saw that the bottom flipped open, and I could see by the threads that the top unscrewed……I am a very strong woman, and I could not open it with both palms correctly placed using all my might. After checking all of your comments, I realized I was doing it right and just kept twisting till my palms hurt. The thing finally twisted apart. I agree this is a ridiculous flaw. Those who were able to open theirs without a hitch just got the smooth easy ones. Now I will try the product….hmmmmmmmm

I totally agree about how difficult this is to open! I’ve never had such a problem opening anything, makeup or otherwise. It was so hard to unscrew, at first I was torn as to whether it was really a screwtop or a lift-off. Finally, I managed to wrench it open with my bare hands — but holy cow! I appreciate the idea of keeping the product safe and secure from contamination during production or delivery or in the stores (don’t you hate some of those products that anyone and everyone can open in the drugstore and put back on the shelf? Ugh! I won’t buy unpackaged things in the drugstore), but they need to come up with a different system — maybe screw it on less tightly, but add a gummed seal or plastic wrap that can be removed by the buyer, but that would show signs of tampering/sampling in the store.
