As those that I have written in Part I and II, mascaras and foundation have less than a year of good life span. Today, let’s look at something with a little longer life.
1 year: Pressed powder, loose powder, shimmer powder, eye shadow, blush, lip gloss, lipstick, toner.
As for pressed powder and loose powder, I have a tendency of keeping it them very long, simply because, it is harder to finish them. It seems like we do not use a lot of them during our application, and before we finish them, we are keep restocking new ones.
The same also goes to eye shadow and shimmer powder. How likely is it for us to finish a whole color palette of eye shadow? I never did. And, as I dug out some of my old eyeshadow that I do not use anymore, but still have it somewhere around, I noticed some ‘extra’ on the powder. I do not know whether it’s my illusion or something, but evidently they don’t look fresh to me anymore. I can’t remember how old are they, so I think it’s time to say baibai to them. Well, you better dig out your old stuff as well. 😀 There has not been solid proof of using expired eye shadow or pressed power, but I guess, simply because it’s not fresh anymore? And you bear the risk of break outs on your skin.
Ah, talking about lip color, I have like 100 colors but still continue buying it. This is a really bad habit for the cosmetics and pocket. Just like my foundation, mascaras and eye shadow, I never did finish using one either. But, we can never buy enough of them. Why why why. Evidently it’s the manufactuers’ and the ads fault, we are coaxed into stuff like that.
As for toner, usually I keep the extra in fridge and I never use them for more than a year, because I only have one and stick to one toner. 😀
Part IV will be the cosmetics with longer life span, 18 months.
