There are several ways you can reuse mascara tubes:
1. Clean the wand: Remove the wand from the mascara tube and clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water. You can then use the wand as a spoolie brush to groom your eyebrows or to separate and define your lashes.
2. DIY lip balm: Clean the mascara tube and remove any remaining mascara. Then, melt a small amount of lip balm or Vaseline in a microwave-safe container and carefully pour it into the empty mascara tube. Let it solidify and use it as a portable lip balm.
3. Travel-sized toiletries: Clean and sterilize the mascara tube, and then fill it with your favorite moisturizer, sunscreen, or any other liquid toiletry product. This way, you can have a travel-sized version of your must-have products without carrying bulky bottles.
4. Customized nail art tool: Clean the wand thoroughly and use it as a nail art tool. Dip it in nail polish and create intricate designs or use it to clean up nail polish mistakes around your nails.
5. DIY tinted brow gel: Clean the mascara tube and wand, and then fill it with a small amount of clear brow gel or clear mascara. Add a few drops of your preferred eyebrow tint or eyeshadow pigment to create a custom tinted brow gel.
Remember to clean and sterilize the mascara tube properly before reusing it to ensure hygiene and prevent any eye infections.
