Are you wearing expired makeup?


I had this bottle of mascara...I love it - but it is almost 15 years old - which I think gives away the secret that I don't wear much makeup....ANYWHO...I was concerned that I may need to trash my trusty mascara tubed - so I looked it up online and sure enough - I should have thrown that puppy away about 14 years and 8 months ago =)
Here is the skinny on the makeup you are wearing and when it needs to be trashed!

Are you wearing makeup that’s expired? Here’s a list of expiration dates - beginning from the time you first open these products:

-Powders and shadows: 2 years

-Cream shad0ws: 12 to 18 months

-Foundation: 1 year

-Lipstick & lipliner: 1 year

-Mascara & eyeliners: 3 months

-Makeup brushes: Clean weekly using a mild detergent

-Makeup sponges: Replace weekly

I found it interesting...and rather embarrassing at the same time!
