Another important part of keeping good makeup hygiene.. is keeping up with your makeup. By that I mean, going through your products at least every 6 months and throw away the expired, old, stale or even smelly makeup. :) Woo Hoo! A great excuse to buy new makeup!!
You can go by what makeup books say is the lifetime of a beauty product ... OR... just look at the back of your beauty/health products. Look for the PAO - Period After Opening - symbol:
The above symbol is letting you know that the product will remain "fresh" for up to 12 months .. after you've opened it. Here are more examples:
Some of the MAC products don't have the PAO symbol. However, I contacted their Consumer Care department to get the information.
MAC Eyeshadows - PAO is 24 m
MAC Lipsticks - PAO is 24 m
MAC Lipgloss - PAO is 24 m
MAC Blushes - PAO is 24 m
I was able to find the PAO on all their other products, either on the container itself or the packaging. I had also asked them why they didn't provide the information on ALL their products. I was told because of limited spacing on the label. (>.<) Unacceptable! *lol* I'll be writing to the corporate headquarters.. :)
Here are other tips on when to go shopping - oops, I mean.. when to throw away expired makeup. ;)
Lipstick / Lipgloss - If their smell changes, throw it away.
Mascara - Also if the smell changes, throw it away. You should replace your mascara at least every 5 months .. regardless.
Pressed Powder Products - If you notice a glazing over your powder, don't use it. This can mean that the oils may have compromised the product.
So girls, go through your cosmetic bags and see what's good to keep and what needs to be replaced!
