The Mascara Purge and A New Addition

Like I said in my Bad Beauty Habits post, I have a habit of keeping mascara for longer than 3 months after I use it. However, I thought it was about time I threw some of my old mascaras out, before I risk getting an eye infection. 

I don't even want to think about how long I've had both of these mascaras. They've both featured in quite a few of my blog posts and I will definitely be repurchasing both in the future. Maybelline's The Rocket has become one of my favourite mascaras ever, the only reason I have had it for so long is because I find that it works so much better once it starts to dry up. In fact, I find that most mascaras work a lot better once they have dried up a bit. 

The Revlon Lash Potion Mascara featured in my October favourites last year, that means I have this mascara almost a year (oops, see what I mean about using mascaras longer than I'm supposed to). This mascara is great for lengthening so I used it more as my day mascara. As well as loving the actual product, I of course love the packaging, that's probably why I've kept it so long, because I don't want to throw that packaging out.

The only good thing about getting rid of these two mascaras is that I had an excuse to go out and buy a replacement. I decided to go for the Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara, which so many people say is their favourite drug store mascara. This mascara has a brush that is very similar to The Rockets so I'll have to see how it compares to my favourite mascara. I haven't got round to trying this one out yet, but no doubt I'll share my opinion on it on here some time in the future.
