  For mascara, I like Clinique the best. It is pricier, but I rarely wear makeup so it can kind of last me forever. 

  And as for the brushes, well oopsie, I do not clean them. I probably should, but again, I wear makeup so infrequently that I guess it doesn't matter that much.

  Well, one of my BFFs used to work for QVC as a beauty buyer, so I still have a ton of free makeup and brushes.  I wash the brushes occasionally with just water, but I'll toss them if they look too gross and just move on to the next batch.

  Mascara - favorite is Lancome...doesn't clump and doesn't run...but smash box is pretty good too.  I couldn't even tell you what I'm using now...down to about the last free tube so its some random brand.

  I wash my brushes roughly once a month with baby shampoo.  

  I am pretty loyal to Mary Kay makeup so that's the mascara I use.  Right now I'm using their waterproof, but I'm not as happy with that as the regular kind.

  I don't wash them oftenwhenever it looks like they have a lot of build up, or if I switch colors. I usually just use water. Sometimes a little face soap.
  
  I get new mascara every...6 months? Or, more often, of needed. My favorite is MAC ZoomLash. Only like 13, so not bad.

  I had some free lancome mascara I got in a gift bag from buying some perfume and it was really nice but I can't afford it. So now that it's gone, I tried the new Maybelline Illegal Length with the lash extensions and it works really well. I never wear makeup so it will last me a good year or two but when it's gone, if nothing new and fancy comes out, ill probably get it again.

  I don't wash my brushes as often as I should, but when I do I wash them with a brush soap I got from sephora.

  I usually get new mascara about every 3 months (sometimes sooner). I've always heard that it's really bad to keep mascara much longer than that because the brush can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Either way I use it everyday and typically at about that time is when the texture starts changing so I just toss it and get a new one.

  I'm a bit of a makeup junkie so I always buy different brands of mascara, but I always tend to go back to Maybelline (any kind really).
