Spring is in the air and for
me that means lots of spring cleaning. Earlier this week as I began to store my
makeup, I also took the opportunity to do a bit of organizing. I separated all
of my new unopened products, frequently used products, and ‘for special
occasions’ products into piles and begin to systematically organize them.
This process also allowed me to go through my collection and decide which
products needed to be tossed.
As you may (or may not) know,
makeup expires. This is a sore spot for me, I HATE throwing away a half used
product, but in order to prevent bacteria and breakouts, it is a necessary
evil. With some products it is easy to determine that it has expired (i.e. it
smells bad or has begun to separate), but for other products expiration is more
difficult to determine. Luckily, there is a great site that allows you to enter
the brand and batch code and will tell you if a product is no longer safe for
use. Check Cosmetic is simple to use and makes it
easier to decide what to toss and what to keep. Sadly, my M.A.C. MSF is
no longer good, but a trip to the M.A.C. counter will allow me to pick up some
pigments that I’ve been scoping out.
What
was the last expired product you threw away?
