Max Factor Lipfinity extraction

I know I am clutching at straws slightly but thought I would ask. I own some Max Factor Lipfinity's. http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Lipfinity_5807/
There seems to be loads left in the tube but the applicator can't reach the very top or bottom. How can I get to these bits without sawing it open. I didn't know if putting it in hot warm would make it melt to the bottom. I just don't like waste, esp with how much it costs.
Thanks for any ideas.

It would reach the bottom, but the bud would absorb lots I think. It would be better than nothing but would be better chopping the bottom off, if I can. There is more collected at the top but the tube has a shoulder. So cotton bud wouldn't work.

A cotton bud wont absorb it as it's sticky rather than wet. Give it a go.******** Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity *******"Always be calm and polite, and have the materials to make a bomb"0
