It can get very hard. But you need to remember one thing. Old makeup is not good for you and your health. Your skin and other organs will thank you for getting rid of it. You don't want to end up with allergies and other problems. So decide that you need to clear out your makeup kit frequently, and have the will-power to do it.

When in doubt, it is better not to use. Another thing you could do is check with people who are in cosmetic departments in any cosmetic store. They will guide you for sure.

LOL! I never thought these cosmetics have such a short life span. This means I have to throw almost all my make up (except for the foundation & sample make up kit given by my hubby last Christmas). Uh-oh.
Bdw, thanks for the visit. Happy weekend Rox.
This is a great reminder. Sometimes I forget to keep track, but the mascara is the most crucial to keep current.
Great reminder, Thank you! Natural makeup and personal care has an even shorter shelf life. Thankfully most of them come with expiration dates.
