Our pretty makeup goodies do expire and past their use-by dates too, just like we do. (oops!)

STEPS TO JUST DO IT:

1. Now bring out ALL YOUR MAKEUP STASH,
obediently sit down on the floor,
and start looking at them like you never done before!

2. Open one by one, take a sniff...
if they give off an unfamiliar odour,
Dont think so much, just throw throw throw!

3. If they don't smell, (perhaps ur pretty nose is on leave that day?)
you STILL throw if your

* Sponges/ puffs ~ wash weekly, change monthly


QNS:
WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS?
SO TROUBLESOME! NO TIME LAH!
ISNT IT A WASTE OF MONEY?
WHAT IF I NEED IT LATER?

MY ANSWER?
PLEASE SAVE YOUR PRETTY FACE!!!

Nasty tinies called Bacteria breeds in your makeup, your food and every consumables.
As the product gets into contact with air, your skin and other substances whatever you might touch, bacteria is attracted and allowed to breed wherever they like.

Its better to be cautious than to have sudden breakouts due to expired makeup on your face right? So breakup with ur 'old' makeup already!

I recommend that you can use my mother's method. Use a black permanent marker fine tip ~ Write down mth & year on the bottom of your makeup on opening ceremony day, ie. 06/09 for jun09. Trust me! I personally tink its a flawless idea!! So start practising it!

Also ZIP it up!
You can keep all those makeup and skincare you hardly use, in a economical ziploc bag (for hygiene reasons), can prolong the life span!

okies... that's all for now!

Hope u benefit the article!
