Beauty Tips | Recycling Mascara

Typically, mascara have only 3-6 months before they will harden up and turn into little masses of black coal-like thing, but in case they have turned up like that way before their expiration date:

  • Heat water in a pan, put your mascara into the the hot water and instantly your mascara will turn into liquids again, but be careful not to place your tube near the hot surface without water or it will burn your container.
  • Also, avoid stirring your mascara wand applicators up and down its tube because it allows more air into the tube and the more it will likely harden up. Because if you notice mascara are placed in an air tight tubes, obviously there is a reason behind that. And now we know. :-)

Beauty Tips | Recycling Lipsticks

I have a little niece at home who loves playing with adult stuffs like make-ups, one day you’ll see her cute horrible face full of brown and bronze colored eyeshadow applied all over her face, and what’s worse, she also has this little sassy playmate who is also her accomplish, and you’ll see two little faces and at first glance fear that they were bruised from playing wrestling.

At first I find it cute and funny, but the moment I see my make-ups all broken down into pieces, I just wanted to scream!!!

And nevertheless what is really heart breaking is to see your newly bought favorite color of lipstick broken into two… (sigh # % ! ^)

So, to rescue my lipsticks:

  • Transfer all the remaining lipsticks in a cute little container and voila! - I now have an instant lipstick in a pot (well, who said its only the lip gloss who gets the pot? ) and to make it more presentable try heating them in a microwave to even out the texture.

Beauty Tips | Recycling Make-up

Recycling make-ups is really a helpful tips for all women out there, particularly nowadays the almost all commodities are soaring sky high.

Make-up enhances a womans beauty, they are like Cinderalla’s magic dust that brings out the best in every woman, particularly if used purposefully and skillfully. It’s one vanity thing that is not shameful to use even by those people who are against vanity.

What are recycled make-ups?

Recycled make-ups are the unexpired make-ups like foundation and lipstick which were accidentally broken down into pieces and restored again so that it can still be used. Hygienically, make-ups should have at least 1 year expiration date, but some brands claim to have at least 2-3 years, so better check your brands before using them for more than a year. But I heard, mascara have only 3-6 months life expectancy, and beyond that they usually curdle up into thick masses of black-like charcoals.

I also heard heard from a fashion guro before, that lipsticks are the most delicate make-ups because they are in direct contact with our body parts which is the lips, and are more prone to bacterias, while make-ups which are being used with brushes are safer, as long as the brushes are regularly washed.

So if by chance some of your lip sticks were broken or you have left-over foundations and face powders here are some helpful tips for you.
