make your old mascara like brand new.

My absolute FAVORITE mascara has been discontinued. Of course, like everything I love- never fails! I searched EVERYWHERE! Nope, nothing! So... I took matters into my own hands :)

I've been using this technique since middle school. It's so convenient if you don't want to spend money on a new mascara or your favorite one has been discontinued.

All you need:


-Contact solution (brand doesn't matter, any will work)
-Your old mascara


Some people might think this is unsanitary and that you should replace your mascara often. That could be true, but I've been doing this for around 7 years and it's never caused pink eye, an infection, or a stye. 


All you do is take the cap off your mascara. Put about 5 drops of contact solution in the tube.



After this, shake the mascara and mix it around with the wand until it looks brand new again.

It's that easy!

Before:



It's dry, dull, and doesn't apply well.



After:




It looks like brand new again and applies perfectly! I love this technique especially if you spend a lot of money on mascara and don't feel like dishing out $30 on a new one every few weeks!

I hope this helped! Thanks for reading.
