When to Toss that makeup! Clean out your make up bag!
When should you toss out your cosmetics??
Here's a few tips to go by....
1) Mascara, replace it every 3 months also don't pump your wand in mascara, that will cause it to dry out and clump quicker. twirl it.
2) Eyeshadow , if it's powder keep it no longer than 2 years, and cream eyeshadows should be thrown out at 1 year.
3) Eyeliners should be tossed 3 to 6 months, as with mascara, eyeshadows and eyeliners, be very aware of odd smells, for bacteria, if it smells different, toss it. This could cause an eye infection. Also if you have been sick, throw out these products for fresh and new. Better to be safe than sorry.....
4) foundation: no longer than 1 year
5)Concealer-12-18 months, but like foundation, use a brush or sponge to apply to keep down bacteria, and clean brushes and sponges, or toss.
6) Blush powders should be replaces every 2 years, because they have no oil or water,
7) Lip stick should be tossed after 1 year.
8) Lipgloss should be replaced 6 months, for the kind in a tube,
Now to Make-up brushes.... should be washed and cleaned at least 1 time a week. Everyday isn't too often.... use a mild liquid soap, baby shampoo is very mild to use.... If you have good quality brushes and you take care of them, they could last for a few years. If the bristles start breaking toss it.
Sponges: you can wash them after every use, but best practices for sponges is toss them, if you have a really good beauty blender, wash it after every use.
Nail Polish should not be kept after 1 year.
I hope this will help clear up some of the guess work when cleaning out your makeup draw of bag!
