Wiggle It...Just a Little Bit

Splurging on a high end makeup item can be exciting...until you're down to the end of it and you can't imagine how you'll buy another one now and how you'll be able to continue life without this amazing blush, foundation, bronzer....or mascara. Mascara has a short life in your makeup bag, its recommended you throw it out after 3-5 months, but what about it's other downfall? Drying out. You might not have screwed the lid on just right or left it open a little too long because it was too slick to really build up that volume right away. I'm here with something that could save your mascara, or ensure that you get every last bit of that $28 tube of Dior you just had to splurge just once on.

Eye drops. Yes, ordinary, plain ol' eye drops. For a full size tube, start with 2-3 drops into the tube and wiggle your wand around to mix the drops with the mascara. DO NOT PUMP! This just introduces more air into the tube, which defeats the whole purpose of what you're doing. Now depending on how much formula is left, you may be able to do this twice but just be mindful that at some point, you'll just have tinted water if you add too many drops or do it too often. This trick works with drugstore formulas just as well as high end. Try it out and let me know what you think!
