Many woman love to wear mascara to enhance their eyelashes. Depending on what brand you buy, mascara can be quite expensive. This is a guide about saving money on mascara.
I recently discovered a way to "stretch" my mascara! I found that if I add a tiny amount of oil (a safe type of oil for skin without odor/flavor such as baby oil) to a dried container of mascara and then use the lash brush to "mix" the oil with the mascara, I am able to stretch the use of the product!
Of course, you do not want to do this with mascara that is too old for sanitation purposes, and as I mentioned, you want to use an oil that is safe for use on the body. I love finding ways to save money! This tip works for me!

When I start running low I use my blow dryer on the tube. Make sure you move the blow dryer around when you point it at the tube though.
This makes the mascara thinner and extends the use.
I've also run the closed tube under hot water for similar results
What is a good mascara, that won't clump when I apply, is cheap and, not bad for my eye lashes?

I love Maybelline mascaras, and they're really affordable. I was actually just reading the cutest article about dealing with lashes that always clump! http://www.ontheglam.com/2010/05/problem-clumpy-gummy-spider-lashes.html
If you use water-based mascara (as opposed to water-proof), add a couple of drops of water to it when it gets near the end, or if it gets too dry. Editor's Note: There appears to be a lot of concern about this tip due to bacteria. As with all advice, contact a health professional to be sure.
