How can I reuse or recycle … mascara wands?

Mascara brush

Little brushes on sticks.

Oh you look so useful with your littleness and your brushiness.

But how? How? How can I use you again?

      Yes, I used a clean old mascara brush for separating my eyelashes when my mascara has dried.

    These also work as mini pipe cleaners - like dead pens that need a bit of cleaning before the refill.

    can you clean out the pot as well and refill with a little perfume for a handbag. just dab it on with the brush.

    I use my old brushes ‘cleaned’ for when I highlight my hair, It’s easier to pick out the odd strands.

    These are great for cleaning under the nails, once you have washed them out. It’s important for cleanliness to clean under the nails, but regular nails brushes can scrape your nail polish right off. Also, if you are an artist, see what creative uses you can come up with using it with acrylics or oils.
