Re: do u throw away makeup after few months??
yanzala - How is it that your mascara has not dried out after 2 years? I find that mine start drying out after 2-3 months (and I barely even use the mascara....maybe 2 or 3 times a month) yet it STILL dries out so fast.
i have no clue. i was telling this to my friend the other day and she was really surprised too. i use this mascara a lot, and it is still working so good that i don't feel like buying another one. i can tell that it is starting to dry but it's still not clumpy.
i have read in some place that if u pump ur wand in and out too much it takes air inside of the tube and the mascara starts to dry out, since clinique's mascara is really good i don't need to do that i just take the wand out brush my lashes with it and do the other eye, and i am done. i don't pump the wand in and out to get the product out since there is enough product on it when i take it out the first time. other than that i have no clue how my mascara is still working so good even after all that time.
yanzala, I recommend just keep your brushes clean , wash them occasionally, my Aunt works in the cosmetic manufacturing industry and she used to say that like most things cosmetics too have a certain shelf life , however throwing your make up away after a few months is nothing but a marketing stunt !
that is the very reason we dont get break outs even if we use make up 3 years older ! however the key is that you should regularly clean your brushes ... even your mascara brushes .... alot of my friends only throw away things if they are like 5 years older .... not even then if the product is working fine ...
So chill I say , if make up was meant to be thrown away every few months they wouldnt have priced it that expensive ! :@:
thank you so much, that's a really good advice. do u wash ur brushes with normal soap and water or do u guys use those special brush cleaners? i use just normal soap.
