Knowing When to Say Goodbye...

We all have our favorite beauty products that we just can't live without. Whether it is your favorite O.P.I. nail polish or that lip gloss from MAC you just found out has been discontinued, you would do anything to make it last! But we all know deep down they can't. So how do you know when your product is no longer safe to use? That's where we step in...






Lip gloss/Lipstick : 2-3 years

Body Lotion : 2-3 years

Bath Oil : 1 year



Nail polish : 1 year

Mascara and Liquid Eye Liner : 3-4 months (This one is really important. Old mascara and liner can produce bacteria causing eye infections.)

Face Creams : 6-9 months if in a jar OR 1 year if it is in a tube

Sunscreen : 1 year

Perfume and Fragrances : 2 years (To extend the life of your perfume store it in a cool dark place as opposed to your dresser or vanity.)
