Beauty Secrets Revealed

Lovies it is always wise to make sure your make-up bag is fresh and fab. In order to do this it is important to clean your make-up bag out on a regular basis and replenish your must haves. I am going o help you out so pay careful attention.

Eyeshadow

  • Needs to be replaced every 3 months
  • Whenever possible use disposable brushes (but make sure you actually dispose of them)


Lipstick/LipGloss/LipBalm

  • Needs to be replaced once a year
  • Oil based lip products don't have water so you can hold onto them a little longer than a year

Foundation

  • Needs to be replaced every 6 to 12 months
  • Once open and exposed to air (and stored in bathroom where it is dark and moist) it is easy for foundation to breed bacteria (and cause infections)

Blushes

  • Needs to be replaced every 2 years
  • Cream blushes have a shorter life span due to the liquid base
  • Blushes get hard when they can no longer be used
  • Clean blush brushes by running them on a dry paper towel daily
  • Shampoo blush brushes every 2 weeks
  • Store blush brushes upright

There is a Fun Fashion Find for you guys called Beauty Alert. It is labels that you can place on all your beauty products that will display the date your purchase and when they expire. You can purchase Beauty Alert here.

***Remember performance matches expiration date***
