Now that we have talked about a seasonal clean… Let’s get to it!

Lips: Most lipsticks and liners can only be used for up to two years after opening. Lip gloss last even less, just twelve months! If you are unsure how long it’s been… just smell it. You’ll know!

Eyes: Have you ever put on an eye shadow and minutes later your eyes get watery, feel heavy and even itchy? Eye shadow, mainly creams, can grow bacteria rapidly. In general, powder shadows are fine up to two years, creams one year, liner and mascara up to three months. After three months you will notice mascara will start to dry out, even if there is still lots of product inside… Don’t put your eyes at risk of infection! Using the last of your products is just not worth a trip to the doctors because you have a stye growing bigger than your nose!

Next post we will talk about your face, brushes and the latest and best products for re-stocking!
