"I know I should throw this mascara, I know. But, I love it so much and I can't throw it yet. Not yet. It still fine. I guess. It has a lot of product inside so I think this can still last till next month."
That was the exact thought I had before putting on my mascara this morning. I had this intuition that my favorite Maybelline Superfilm is getting old because lately I've been feeling some stinging on my eyes when I apply it so I know I should stash it already. This is the first mascara I fell in love with. I used to hate wearing one, not until I found this baby. But then, I know I've been using this for six months now and it's time I let it go (Idina Menzel singing in the background) but I've been so stubborn to throw it away because:
one, I don't have any budget for a mascara because I am saving for my emergency fund;
two, I am anticipating a Maybelline sale so I could buy this awesome product again
three, my frugal self feels there's still too much product inside that I feel like wasting make-up if ever I throw this one.
In short, I just don't want to throw it away.
So, I still decided to put it on. (Wrong decision, btw.)
Few minutes after application, I felt the stinging on my eye especially on the left eye.
There. That's it. That's the final blow.
So, I immediately get some wet wipes (good thing it's waterproof) and I had to remove all my eye make-up. It finally convinced me it's time to say goodbye to my Superfilm or I will end up having some eye infection or some sort.
It got me into thinking, how many girls are like me who hold on to their mascaras even though it's time to let them go. Since mascaras have small life span, we tend to extend its life by neglecting the signs and convince ourselves "pwede pa."
You have to throw it when:
1. It's 3-6 months old already. Unlike powders, liquid make-up is prone to bacteria because they tend to stay on moisturized place. You have to change mascaras months after using it (not a year).
2. You are smelling something funky when you open it. This is the most obvious indication that your mascara has already gone old. You know it when you smell it. If you are not liking what you smell when you are opening that tube, well then, throw it away, throw it now.
3. You are feeling some stinging on your eyes when you apply it. As what happened to me, my eyes are not accepting the product anymore. If your eyes are drying and hurting after product application, I guess it's time to replace that mascara.
4. It has dried out. This just means your mascara is too old already! Throw it out now!
Don't ignore these signs ladies. Eye infection is not pretty. So, always be aware of your make-up life span. Don't be too negligent on what you put on your face especially on your eyes. So, always be careful.
As for my old mascara---well, thank you, Maybelline Superfilm. You are really worth it but I have to replace you now...
Okay, that's too much drama for you guys.
Till next time!
Always remember, you are marvellous much!
Love,
