For all those beauty babes, make-up gurus, and everything in-between;  we now have a use for those old mascara bottles beyond our lashes.  We can gently wash our wands from old, used mascara bottles and send them to Wands for Wildlife.  These wands are then used on their furry friends in The Appalachian Wildlife Refuge.  It is a great way to "recycle & save wild lives!" It also makes room to try the next best mascara.  Who doesn't mind a make-up haul?! Simply wash your used wands with soap and water, dry, and send with FORM to*: Wands for Wildlife PO Box 1211 Skyland, NC 28776 * Be sure to take the package to your local usps store to ensure Wands For Wildlife is not stuck with extra postage fees.  And please no NEW wands. You can read more about this North Carolina non-profit Refuge, the Wandraiser, or how else you can help at www.appalachianwildlife.org .  For other beauty to-dos, must-haves, reviews, and more, please visit...
