Kathy,
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try the MIESSENCE brand as well.

And I totally agree that a little mascara goes a long way!

Cute article! One of my best friends never leaves her house without mascara on, and she’s convinced me it is the one thing that really makes you look awake and beautiful. We both love MIESSENCE mascara because it contains certified organic and natural ingredients, works great and smells divine (with rose essential oil). I also appreciate what’s not in it: no parabens, no gmo’s, no synthetics, and no mercury (I was shocked to learn some mascaras have toxic mercury in them!). All ingredients for Miessence organic mascara are listed here: http://bit.ly/7vcUF9

Hi Reena,

I tend to agree with that recommendation. Six months is really as long as you want to use mascara especially since you are using the same wand each day and bacteria does get on the wand. I find that with daily use the tube is pretty much near the bottom after 6-7 months.

I’ve been using the Physicians Formula most recently…so at $10 each, I feel like I can get a new one every 6 months easily and I can recycle most of the parts.

So glad you addressed this topic. I never know how long to keep mascara. A tube seems to last forever — I use it once a day usually (twice if I dress up for a special event). However, some say you shouldn’t use it more than 6 months.

Any thoughts on this?
