Lipstick & Gloss

Notice an off smell or taste? Trash it. You deserve a new tube anyway!
Eye & Lip Pencils
Time to toss: 2 years Sharpening your pencil
liners every two weeks will help them stay fresh and clean.
Liquid Foundation
Time to toss: 6 months
Look for the ingredients to separate (oils rise to the top) or a change in color or consistency.
Mascara & Liquid Liner
Time to toss: 6 months (less if you use daily)
