Is this a new life hack or should I not?!

So I recently bought some new mascara and it was already dried up when I opened it.

I know what you’re thinking go return it!

I wish I had the time I was leaving for a trip and needed it for the trip. So I was brainstorming ideas on how to get this mascara to come back to life without giving me pink eye or an eye infection so that’s when I had that AHA! 💡moment.

I wear contacts and I had my contact solution (not eye drops) on me. I squeezed a couple of drops into my mascara and voila! It worked!! (In my mind contact solution disinfects my contacts for me so) there was a long thought process there.

I highly recommend throwing away your old mascara and getting a new one, if you can or return it if you have time. But I thought this was a really neat trick that helped me when I was in a bind. Does anyone else use this trick? Am I the only one? lol

Also this is my first post! 😀 I love seeing everyone’s posts on here it’s quite refreshing.

... Read moreHave you ever faced the disappointment of opening a dried-up mascara? It’s a common dilemma, especially for those who prefer to keep their makeup fresh. Luckily, there are ways to salvage your beloved products! Using contact solution, which is designed to disinfect and moisten contact lenses, can be an effective method for bringing your mascara back to life. However, always remember that this is a temporary fix and not a substitute for a fresh tube. It’s crucial to prioritize the health of your eyes; if you notice any irritation or changes in your mascara's consistency, it's best to dispose of it and purchase a new one. Additionally, regularly replacing your mascara every three months is essential to avoid potential eye infections. You may also consider using eye drops specifically designed for moisture if you find yourself in a pinch.
