A Beauty Tid Bit.
I don't know about you but the beginning of the New Year always inspires me to do a major clean out of the closet, the kitchen, the office and of course, my makeup drawer.
There are three piles that I create when doing a clean out; keep, toss and not quite sure yet. When it comes to cosmetics, however, it is a bit easier due to the varying shelf life of products.
Rule #1: if you can't remember when you bought it or got it, it is probably a good time to toss it.
Here is a list of life span for your products.
Oil-Free Foundation: 1 year
Cream or Compact Foundation: 18 months
Concealer: 12-18 months
Powder: 2 years
Blush and Bronzer: 2 years
Cream Blush: 12-18 months
Powder Eye shadow: 2 years
Cream Eye shadow: 12-18 months
Eyeliner: 2 years
Liquid eyeliner: 3-6 months
Mascara: 3 months
Lipstick: 2 years
Lip liner: 2 years
Lip gloss: 18-24 months
Nail Color: 1 year
So, Girls & some boyss open those drawers, makeup bags and vanities and start chucking, even those discontinued colors you've been holding onto since 2000.
