Why would someone buy 6 mascaras at one time?

They dry out!

Price is $10/each & they do not dry up if you don't open them. But, I don't think they'll last 18 months. Hardly. A year is right.

OP, Really? I wouldn't know; I've never bought that many at one time. One question I do have is WHY DOES MALLY SCREAM during her presentations? And people complain that Susan Graver is hyper???

I'm watching Mally for the first time ... (and last time).

Mascaras DO dry up not yet opened.

I would normally say no way. I would be afraid of them drying up. I have to admit that I have been thinking about it. If I don't open them, will they last etc. It's hard to pass up $10.00 a tube.

Ok, that's not my experience. However, I don't buy cheap mascara. Chanel at Nordstrom.

I usually don't wear mascara, but when I do I get it at the drugstore. The are less than $10 each, I think.

skylands: I believe you are correct. I just read an article on megsmakeup.com. The average life span of properly stored cosmetics/mascara is 2-5 years. They also make note that premium brands do last longer than store brought brands. I think I am going to go ahead and purchase these mascaras in a few weeks.

I've opened mascaras that have sat unopened for years. They were fine.

If you don't open them they have a three year shelf life. But 3 months once opened. So you have a great deal. I'm actually hoping they will do the same deal with the waterproof voluminous style. It's just as great and perfect for the pool.

Yes, that's what Nordstrom says as well. They have their "Mascara Madness" sale 2 x's/year. Buy 2 get one for free. They don't dry up.

My luck has not been that good.

Trust me. I wish that I could wear drugstore brand mascara. I have tried multiple ones, and they all irritated my eyes. I have allergies. It was not until a few years ago when I first tried a brand by Tarte, that I finally was pleased because of the lack of irritation. Now, I tend to stick to the premium brands for use.

I agree! I once got a mascara in a kit every few months and they dried out before I opened them. I never, ever buy extra mascara.

Trust me. I wear all mally makeup. And what she says it will do it does. It stays on . doesn't crease or smudge. Mascara makes your lashes huge and doesn't flake. No racoon eyes after. I have sensitive eyes and until I found mally I had to stop using eye makeup completely. Her products are great. If you are worried about them drying out split with a friend.

I purchased the set of 6 mascaras last year and still have one left. Not one of them has dried out on me.

I am actually finding the set to be of better quality than when I purchased it individually (or received it in a kit?) a few years back.

I buy Mally's in the 6 pack. As long as mine have not been opened, the last tube is as fresh as the 1st. Works for me, and the price is much better.

i have done this also...

i also have daughters who frequently check out my stash to "borrow" items from me....it is a heck of a lot cheaper for them then going to sephora, a department store, or the drugstore. LOL
