With an endless array of lengthening, strengthening, nourishing, waterproof, and  curling mascaras  to choose from, it’s likely that you have more than one in your beauty bag. That said, not all mascaras are created equal in terms of performance and ingredients. If you’re curious to know what mascara is made of, keep reading to find out more about this go-to cosmetic item. WHAT IS MASCARA MADE OF? In essence,  mascara is made of a combination of oils and waxes that provide its consistency, pigment, and color . Mascara may also include preservative chemicals that are intended to help prevent clumping, smudging, or separation. Interestingly enough, mascara has been used since ancient times. The Egyptians (followed by the Greeks and Romans) used  kohl  to darken their eyelashes, eyebrows, and eyelids to ward off evil spirits.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past month, you've probably heard someone mention  Fenty Beauty  once or twice or — depending on their  status in the Rihanna Navy — maybe 100 times. It's undoubtedly the buzziest brand of the year, and now we finally have the proof. According to a source from YouTube, Fenty Beauty has exploded onto the scene with 132  million  YouTube views on Fenty Beauty- related content in just one month since it launched.

For many homes across the world, dogs and cats are more than just pets – they are meaningful members of a family, and are loved by everyone. Unfortunately for many animals, this lifestyle isn’t always an option, as the rising number of animals in shelters continues to increase as the pet population continues to skyrocket, particularly in urban areas. The sad reality is the more animals entering these shelters, the higher number of animals being put down by euthanasia. According to estimates  from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters each year.
