old is not always gold.....

....well,not many will agree with my notion "old is not always gold"....not until you guys 'digest' the facts that im about to divulge here....hmmm,perhaps this will benefit more girls out there than the guys...but it is okay...the guys can read it too....in the end of the day,let ur girlfriends know,what say?...to be honest im an analyser and observer...what exactly i analyse and observe...?COSMETICS....the definition of cosmetic is a toiletry designed to beautify the body...true enough but how long it actually help to beautify one self?

Everything has a life span.so do cosmetic ranging from make-up and skin care..after certain period of time your cosmetic are not avail to beautify you...recently,an article in the FEMALE magazine cought my attention and after reading through i was pretty amazed by the fact that cosmetic has very short life span no matter if your make-up is from any top brands..like BOBBY BROWN,THE BODY SHOP,L'OREAL etc...Im certainly not denying the quality of these top-brands but what im emphasizing here is merely the shelf life...no doubt these brands i just mentioned dominates markets world wide...no question about that...

Here is the list that you should read and then decide whether which of your make-up should now 'reside' on your dressing table and the rest in the litter bin.....

  • MAKE-UP
  1. Concealers > 6-12 months
  2. Foundation >6-18 months
  3. Powders >1-2 years
  4. Lip balm >1-3 years
  5. Lip liner >3 years
  6. Lipsticks > 1-2 years
  7. Lipglosses >3-12 months
  8. Blushers/bronzers >6-12 months
  9. Eye shadow >6-24 months
  10. Eyeliners >3-6 months
  11. Mascaras >1-3 months
  12. Make-up remover >1-3 years
  • SKINCARE
  1. Cleanser >6-12 months
  2. Toners >1 year
  3. Moisterizers/eye cream >6-12 months
  4. Sunblocks >2 years
  5. Deodorants >3 years
  6. Body lotion >1-2 years

Well i made my decision the day i read this...i threw all my age old makeups and skincare products.....have you made your decision by now?Be aware that expired products can cause many side effects....you don't wanna get into trouble,do you?think wise,be wise,be FoReVeR 21...
