Why does everything run out at once?!

Pompey, 4 September, 2013 at 09:09 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 12

Money is pretty tight at the moment and this morning my mascara decided that it was going to run out, as did my black eye-liner and then my hairspray. I know the brands I use are hardly expensive, but still. I don't know if I can fit them into the weekly budget ?

Sod food parcels, I need make up parcels!

    I cant help with the eye-liner and hairspay but have you tried standing the mascara in a mug of hot water? this may just soften the stuff on the edges enough to give you a little longer with it

    Add a tiny, and I mean TINY drop of water to your mascara, gives you a good week or two extra x

    I usually give my mascara tube a quick whizz with the hairdryer to 'soften' it.

    I have hundreds of those little samples you get in freebie bags unused. Do you want some?

    Bl00dy nightmare P.

    I will be in the same boat shortly, in fact I'm on borrowed time now! Need touche eclat, foundation, and bronzer, also I've just ran out of my fave perfume! My bank balance will not allow for said purchases. Early xmas presents perhaps??

    Google for fee samples. Matin Lewis site usually has free samples on there?

    That trick also works for nail varnish.

    As my foundation begins to come to an end I start using less and less as I have the fear of having to buy more!

    I'm such a makeup skank, I scrape the dregs out of any pots I can.
