Auroras Quick Tips: What to do when your mascara is almost dried up?

We ladies have all been in situations where our mascaras just don’t come on as thick as they used to like when we first got them. And when it comes to getting rid of them, oh it’s always difficult to say goodbye to a very good brand of makeup product when they are finished. Could be because they were just too good a wand or the mascara just came on good on your eyelashes when applied, they last longer and of cause are waterproof. Still, you have to always throw them out but most times there could be hope for that special mascara in your life. I have been using a method for a very long time now and it works so good for me, I don’t have to worry about when they are drying off. And I am not

so sure if it’s a method well known by most women so I decided to share. To be sincere, I no longer remember where or who I learned this method from because this is something I learned about ten years ago also (i guess somewhere on the web). All I remember was me telling my mom (yep I had no makeup kit then, never really used makeup other than face powder and little eye shadows l😄l ) about this method and me actually experimenting with one of her old leftovers lol😄. Anyway, it worked and from then on I was always using this method for her mascaras when they were almost dried.

So, at what point does these method work you may ask?

     

  This works when the mascara is not completely and totally dried up. Of cause, do not expect this method to work when it’s at this stage unless you are just blessed with a very good brand. So now what you need and the method.

You will need just four things;  

• A stove or boiling ring(whatever you fancy, really as long as it gets the water hot enough)
• A bowl or cup
• A glass of water
• A pot or kettle ( to boil the water ) 

  Method:

•   Pour the glass of water into a pot or kettle and just let it boil to medium heat on the stove (if the water is too hot please let it cool down a bit) the water needs to be at medium heat temperature you do not want the mascara swelling.

•  Pour the warm water into the bowl, now place your mascara into the bowl of hot water. ( the mascara should be tightly closed).

• Leave for about 5 to 10 minutes before taking the mascara out.

 Please note that if this method does not work either the mascara is already dried up or your water was not hot enough. Before giving up, you could try the method again this time may be let the water be a bit hotter than the first. If not just kiss your mascara goodbye and get a new one.

warning: please do not try these if you are not old enough to go near a stove, get someone older to do these for you.
