How many mascara's do you own?

[Strawberrymold]

Just curious as to how many mascara's everyone keeps around at one time. What prompted this you ask? Digging though the mascara drawer and realizing that I may have a problem and may need to seek professional help. I just like mascara though... and if it is new and sounds amazing I simply must have it!

Anyone else share my addition?

Oh and I currently own 21

 

[shatteredshards]

I only have one at a time. I don't use it enough to warrant it, honestly (I'm not a "put on my face everyday" kind of person).

You're supposed to throw out mascaras after 3 months, anyhow, because of all the bacteria that grows in the tube once you use it.

Not very many. Most of the times just one really. I have lots af other makeup but mascaras should be thrown out every 3 months, and mostly I also think they get dry and not as effective after that time, so I more or less just have one mascara and stick to it. Sometimes I have more, but that is normallly because I bought one that I didn't like, and then went got another one instead.

At the moment I actually have two because I found out, that a combination of Imju Fiberwig and a volumizing mascara underneath gives incredible lashes. And I also have a Shiseido Mascara Base. Does that count as a mascara?

 

[Strawberrymold]

A lot of my mascara's are bases or for layering. I tend to wear a different mascara everyday though so even though the don't last that long I do tend to get through them.

I currently have four layering around: Lancome Hypnose (this one is my HG), a Bourjois one (testing this), CG Lash Blast (my everyday) and a CG Eyelight for hazel eyes (also testing...me no likey)

I just have one at a time. I used to have a ton, but then it seemed pointless when I had to toss them out after 3 months.

I only have 2. I use my MK Ultimate Mascara all the time. I have a Covergirl one at my desk just in case.

One. I like my Cover Girl Lash Blast Waterproof and have no desire for anything else. It did take years and a lot of money to find that out though!

 

[shmooby]

Just two. A black one for my lashes and a clear one for my brows. Mascara doesnt really interest me. I just re-purchase the one I know works well for me when I run out. I prefer to spend my money on more colours rather than tonnes of products that all ultimately do the same thing

 

[hello_kitty]

I have 2... well, 3 if you count my MUFE Lash Fibers... MUFE Smokey Lash and Duwop Lash Venom. I've had Lash Venom for about a year now, haha. I ain't skurred of germs. My Smokey Lash is actually fairly new because my old one dried up

I had a bunch of old ones in my traincase that I tossed a few months ago to clear up space.

I'm not too scared of germs, either (I refuse to use instant hand sanitizer for the way it causes mutations, and I had swine flu last month), but we're talking the bacteria in old mascara often causing pinkeye and stye.

 

[Elle93]

I only have one open since they're supposed to be thrown out often

i'm the same way. loreal voluminous is the only mascara i buy. it works and it's relatively inexpensive. i'm sure YSL and dior mascaras are great but i just don't see the point in spending so much money on something that goes bad in no time. i would rather just buy false eyelashes.

 

[gildedangel]

I have 1 or 2 at a time.

Well, for me personally, I use my mascaras far longer than deemed "appropriate" by the public at large and have never had a single issue in the 13 years or so I've been using mascara. Would I tell someone else to do it? No. But I'll continue using mine for about a year or so before tossing (or whenever they just become too "nasty" in my eyes... my MUFE ones do this at about the 4-6 month mark) because that's just what I do, and I'm a bit crazy

I have about 8 right now because I work at Sephora and I get a ton of mascaras as gratis!

Lancome Hypnose

Right now 2. :

CG Lashblast (I got the tip on using this from Richie Nickel on youtube - LOVE HIM!)

Also, have Too Faced Lash injection.

Like them both.

Mascara is a pain in the _ _ _ ( etc...) It' the one product I don't really enjoy putting on at all but you have to! Just not fun for me

One slightly off the topic note on Too Faced: Got the Queen for a Day set on their website. SO CUTE! Check it out on their site or ULTA.

24 but not counting one that's missing... I'm sure it's around somewhere...

I have about 6 or 7 in rotation at the moment. I put a label on them when I open them so I know how long I have had it open. I usually use a different one everyday or it depends sometimes on my mood or what the weather is like (if it's raining or if I get an allergy attack with watery eyes!). I have some that are waterproof and others that are not. I do have some more mascara but it's just unopened ones that I have to try out that I'm waiting on using till I get ready and throw out one or 2 of the ones that are in rotation now.
