Smart Thinking

Maybe all of you have already figured this out. I just did.

My mascara has been running low, and I keep forgetting to get more. Every morning for the last few days I've found myself scraping the sides to get enough black on to look like a person. Then I had a brilliant idea. I ran the mascara tube under hot water. Horray! The remaining mascara in the tube became much more usable.

I'll probably be able to forget to shop for another week.

Good to know, especially for those who dislike shopping. (That's not me, however.)

Nope, this is a totally new revelation to me. Thanks for the great idea!

I started doing that in high school. I still do, and once in a while I add a drop of water inside if it starts to dry out too fast. Great beauty tip, though!

They say necessity is the mother of invention. (and I'd say avoiding a shopping trip is reason enough to get inventive!)

I have an extra tube you can use it if you like. Beautiful eyes need tar and fiber glass!

Hey, My sister-in-law taught me to spray a couple of squirts of perfume into the mascara to get the last bit liquified. It works!
