Review (5/5): That's good, too
I use these for foundation and lotions that come in pots. For some it's an issue of sanitary vs. unsanitary. That's good, too, but for me, it comes down to ease of use, storage and transport. I did get the frosted finish as appears in the photo. I have had no issues w/ pump failure, though once in a blue moon it squirts product across the bathroom onto the adjacent wall. Not fun, but not a big deal. It's kind of a pain to transfer the product into the pump, but that's not the fault of the pump, and the convenience of the pump is well worth it. For thinner consistency product I used a funnel. For thicker, it was quicker to use a little cosmetic spatula, but next time I'll put it in a baggie, cut a small hole in the corner and pipe it in cake-boss style. There will be some waste, but it will be quicker and cleaner.
