For all the Mascara lovers out there, I love this little tip.
Is your mascara feeling a little dry or that it is starting to dry up and you are not ready to give up the tube?!? Add a drop of Lavender Essential Oil to your tube and make it moist and extend mascara life. Not only does lavender promote hair growth, but given that it is antimicrobial, it helps in killing bacteria that can buildup on your brush.
Make sure you are using a reputable company’s essential oils and mascara. The essential oil industry is an unregulated industry much like the cosmetic and skincare industry and so much junk is popping up everywhere. From all my research the two safest and highest performing are from Beautycounter and doTERRA.

Carbon black, a pigment used in mascaras to create the deep black color, has been linked to a range of adverse health effects. Mascara shouldn’t be that scary. Beautycounter Volumizing and Lengthening Mascaras are pigmented with naturally-occurring iron oxides.
