8 Uses For Old Mascara Wands
by A Thrifty Mrs
I get through mascara like something
chronic, curse my short stubby lashes. As you know I hate to throw
anything away so of course I try to use my old mascara wands in a
myriad of ways.
1. Eyebrow
brush
Some days when I wake up
it’s pretty obvious that my eyebrows had a conference in the night
and decided to go in different directions, or have an unruly day or
my favourite – go all bushy and weird making me look like an
elderly gentleman mumbling into his third whisky at the golf club.
This sorts it.
2.
Separating eyelashes
You’ve got too
enthusiastic with the mascara, haven’t you Suzy,
Gemma, Lorraine*, this will comb your eyelashes into
individual eyelashes of wonder. MAGIC.
3. Removing
clumpy mascara from lashes
We’ve all had this happen.
Your new mascara has come in the form of three clumps in a tube. Joy.
But the small amounts you do manage to get on your lashes make them
look good, so you’re going to push ahead and use it anyway. But
damnation if it doesn’t leave little clumps on your nose
and eyelashes. Getting them off whilst the mascara is still
wet ends with your face looking like you’ve just been down the pit
and getting them off once the mascara is dry means you run the risk
of pulling your eyelashes out…one…by…one. Use an old mascara
wand to wiggle the clumps free whilst the mascara is wet.
4. Delicate
jewellery or beaded clothing
I have a beaded bag which
loves to collect dust and a mascara wand has saved it from becoming a
dust-clad testament to my slovenly ways. It also works well on the
gaps between beads on necklaces or earrings which can from time to
time get a bit dirty or worn looking.
5. Sort out
your roots
For reals. This method is
better than any stupid little wand that comes in the packet. Because
the wands tend to have a bit of flexibility to them you can really
work it into the root and get even coverage.
6. Rid
yourself of flyaway hair
My hair almost constantly
looks like that time in Science class when they make you stand on
that thing and put your hands on that other thing and your hair goes
all sticky-outey…you know, those THINGS. So spraying a bit of
hairspray onto the bristles of an old mascara wand and smoothing it
over my hair sorts me out in no time at all.
7. Clean
taps
You know the bit of the tap
were the water comes out (is there an obvious technical term other
than hole?)? That can get grim, really grim and gunky. MASCARA WAND
TO THE RESCUE. Work it in and around the tap and you’ll get the
gunk out in no time at all.
8. Unclog
sinks
Lots of times when your sink
is clogged up, the stuff that’s clogging it up isn’t even that
far down the pipe. A quick swizz around with an old mascara wand can
often sort it and when you pull it back out you can either chuck that
gross old noodle or eat it. It’s up to you, you dirtbag.
I found this while looking for how to clean a mascara wand. There's a couple of good tips here!
