Did You Know: Mascara

Hello ladies. ^_^

Haaa....today nak share some interesting facts about mascara. To be honest, I can't live without mascara (errr...literally). Sebabnya, mascara merupakan medium penting untuk buka mata yang kecil like yours truly. ^_^ Bayangkan dah make up mata cantik-cantik...tetiba bulu mata berhabuk kena eyeshadow. Hahahaa. Jadi...mascara ni penting ntuk menghitamkan balik bulu mata yang dah terkena habuk eyshadow tu. Hihihi.

So...I want to ask one question. Tahukah anda berapa lamakah talian jangka hayat sebatang mascara? The lifespan of a tube of mascara is only three months.

Why?

Sebabnya...the mascara tube is designed to be dark and wet. Jadi this kind of environment encourage the growth of bacteria. Tambah-tambah if kita suka "pam" mascara tube tu banyak-banyak kali. Cara tu akan menyebabkan udara kita (yang kurang bersih ni) masuk ke dalam mascara tube dan bawa sekali bakteria bersama-sama. 

Instead, keluarkan mascara dalam arah pusingan secara perlahan (turning the wand slowly outward....*if you 

understand the English form. Susah la nak translate. T_T*). Sama macam nak masukkan mascara wand tu balik ke dalam tube...pusingkan mascara wand tu sampai dia masuk balik. Avoid pumping. 

Using the expired mascara can cause an eye infection that can lead to bigger problems. Kalau boleh, elakkan jugak perkongsian mascara. If you are using the same mascara on somebody else; lapkan mascara wand tu dengan wet tissue before masukkan ke dalam tube. Or...beli disposable mascara wand. Both cara yang I sebutkan tu boleh sanitized your mascara.

My advise:

• Buy a fresh tube of mascara every three months.
• To avoid contamination, don't pump the wand and send air into the tube. Instead, draw the tube, by turning it slowly on the spot and scraping the inside of the tube.
• To make ur mascara last longer, make sure u keep the lid tighly sealed.

And one more advise...since the mascara can only live up to three months....I would say....jangan membazir beli mascara mahal-mahal. Kat farmasi banyak je jual mascara yang murah dan works great. Especially from Maybelline, the queen of mascara. LOL. 

So girls, toss out those two years mascara in your vanity and get a fresh one. ^_^ I tau susah nak buang. Me too...tapi buat apa simpan if it irritates your eyes and make it red kan? ^_^

Okay darls. Talk to you soon. ^_^ Tata
