A genius way to always have fresh, sanitary mascara

Just a reminder… You’re supposed to replace your mascara every three months to prevent microbial growth than can lead to eye and skin infections—because every time you do that wand-pumping thing you’re introducing air (and anything the brush picked up from your lashes) into the tube. I’ll 100% admit that I am guilty of not following this rule as I have a hard time throwing away products that aren’t even close to empty (especially these days, when I wear mascara maybe one a week).

But what if there was a guilt-free way to make sure your mascara is always in tip-top shape? There is, with My Little Mascara Club, and here’s how it works. This subscription-based model sends you a mini-sized mascara every six weeks (you can customize your shipment timing if you’d prefer one every four or eight weeks—and you can pause your subscription any time), so all you have to do is chuck the old one when the new one arrives. When you sign up, you choose between Length + Definition or Volume + Curl (both formulas are 90% natural, vegan, cruelty-, paraben- gluten, mineral oil-, beeswax- and paraffin-free), and they even throw in reusable mascara remover wipes—even though these lash-enhancers wash away easily with water—and a mystery surprise!

You don’t have to subscribe if you don’t want to, but then you kind of miss the upside of taking care of your eye health without giving it a second thought. Even better, you’ll never have to deal with dried-out mascara that leaves your lashes clumpy again either.
