Know When To Toss Your Makeup!!

If you are anything like me, you LOVE your makeup! I get so emotionally attached to some of the products I have and use them down to the very last bit! But using expired makeup is never good for your face or your health. Many girls don't know that there are expiration dates to their makeup so here is your very own guide. 

Concealer: 3 months to 1 year (depending on the brand. Most known brands can last up to a year especially if it is a bigger bottle. Smaller bottles may only last 3 months then become dry and flaky when applied to your face. Primers can also last up to 6 months or a year!)

Lip & Eye Pencils: About a year. It really helps if you have a pencil rather than a scroll up pencil to burn the tip with a lighter then let it cool down before using it. It burns the bacteria off of the eye or lip pencil. 

Eye Shadow: Several years unless it starts to become very flaky.

Lip Stick: 1 year or 1 and a half years. Unless you notice they lipstick or gloss is drying or your lips!

**ANYTHING** If you have had an illness such as a cold, pink eye, or any contagious illness throw anything you have used on your face into the garbage! It is not worth keeping that bacteria around any longer. I use the sample brushes you can find in the pharmacy to apply makeup when I am sick so my brushes do not touch the actual makeup themselves.
