Time flies by. I haven’t been blogging for months. An update post will hopefully be coming up soon! I have been burning up with topics and products I want to share with you but simply haven’t had the time.
Today, we are going to talk about mascaras. I have never believed in buying expensive mascaras, as I find the cheap ones are working just fine. I especially love Maybelline’s mascaras. My favourite is The Falsies, and I have been using The Rocket Volum Express every day lately. I mean, they have been lasting me for a long while – too long maybe. I keep using them, thinking that they will dry out soon, but nope, they are still good to use – or are they?
The rule of thumb with mascaras is: You have to chuck them out after 3 months! I don’t remember where I read it, but after 3 months, small crawlies will begin to grow, and it’s really not nice to put that not-so-clean mascara wand so close to your eyes. That’s also why it’s not a good idea to have too many mascaras in use at the same time.
I just opened my Maybelline the Hyper Curl Volum Express. It looks really natural, but still gives my lashes some volume. I get a kind of flaring effect opposed to the more clumpy Rocket – though I really get some serious volume with it. I’m not too sure about the staying power of Hyper Curl yet (I use the waterproof one). I might do a review of it later.
It’s heartbreaking, but I’m letting go. Goodbye, my beloved Falsies, Rocket, and Urban Decay Cannonball…
How long do you hold on to your mascaras?

I’m so guilty of using my mascaras for very long 😛

I must admit, I kept mine a liiitle bit longer than just 3 months as well 😦
I apply like 10000+ layers so my mascaras doesn’t last more than 3 month usually. 3 month is for good mascara, for maybelline -1 or 1,5 and I need new:D I think I use too much of mascara:D
Hahaha… that is a good thing – then there is actually a reason to chuck it out!
Good to know! I hold onto mine for WAY too long. I have at least 5 I should probably throw out now.
Go girl… It’s really hard to let go though. Trust me, I understand the pain Haha
A great reminder to throw away expired makeup. I needed that for today. I guess my go-to one is the Covergirl Lash Blast mascara, but the Hyper Curl one seems to deliver well results. Might give it a go at my next drugstore haul 🙂 – Lena

Yea it’s really hard to throw makeup out. Besides mascara, usually I just throw out makeup when it starts to smell. I disinfect my stuff once in a while to prolong their shelf life 🙂 thanks for reading and commenting
I think I get about 2/3 months out of mine before they dry up or finish. I love loreal’s teleoscopic I have been repurchasing it for about a year now 🙂 Steph xx
