The mascara that changed my life

Flake proof, smudge proof, I'm in love!

Mascara’s not the only beauty product to wake you up in the morning. Watch this video to make a DIY energy-boosting serum that will have you feeling refreshed and wide awake in just a few seconds.  

For some unexplained reason, eyes get more watery over the age of 40 but switching to a waterproof mascara is not the only solution.  

A tubing mascara will give you flake-free, smudge-proof all day wear and the best bit (for everyone who’s struggled to remove waterproof mascara ) is that it’s so easy to remove with just warm water and gentle pressure. 

Unlike regular mascara, which paints lashes with pigment, tubing creates water-resistant, tube-like enclosures around each individual lash. It goes on slightly wetter than regular mascara and when it dries the lacquer shrink-wraps around each lash. 

Normal sweat and tears won’t disturb it, and when you need to remove it warm water causes the tubes to swell and loosen their grip on lashes and rinse off.
