Hey guys! Today I'm coming to you with a new and sort of different post. I have come to realize that you do in fact HAVE to throw away some products after awhile to avoid infections or any other nasty things that come from old makeup. Continuing to use old and expired makeup is very harmful. So I have decided to make a post telling you when to toss it out. But even if you are sad, just remember, it opens room for future purchases!
TIP: Many products tend to change smells as they expire and typically if you have to ask, "Is it suppose to smell like that?" it should not!
Eyes
(I hope these pictures are alright! This was my first time taking pictures in this style and angle.)
We all know it's hard to let go of that eyeshadow we once loved but, to avoid eye infections you must throw it away!
Powder/Mineral Eyeshadow: 2 years
Cream Eyeshadow: 1 year and a couple months
Eyeliner: 8 months (Now, I must say eyeliners can be varying because there are so many types. Stick, pencil, gel, kohl, liquid, etc. Some may last less or more months. Just make sure to do the smell check! Also if it is over a year and you aren't so sure, chances are, its time to get rid of it!)
Mascara: 3 to 4 months
Powder/Mineral Eyeshadow: 2 years
Cream Eyeshadow: 1 year and a couple months

TIP: If any major changes in texture or color happen to a product it should be throw away immediately!
