Anastasia: I hope you are still going to post it. One year old mascara? eww. And great tips, thanks for sharing.

Jessica Dee: I’ve never been able to finish anything lol. I only try to buy what I need too but some products, like eyeshadows, can last a few years and it’s difficult to remember whn you bought them.

I know you can make your mascara last longer if you swirl the wand around the tube as you pull it out, instead of pumping it up and down. Pumping it up and down pumps more air into the tube, drying the product out faster.

It’s a safe bet you should use your Urban Decay Primer Potion and other things in similarly shaped packaging the same way.

LOL my make up is usually all used up before it expires anyways =x I’m not one to buy make up that I don’t need or have tons of soooo I guess that’s a good thing? BUT YEAAA.. you’d gotta be crazy to still use make up if it has FUNGUS on it LOL. The only things I’m not very good with is mascara @.@ I know, I know soo bad ;p

Connie: Sorry about that lol. I’m glad you like the post, can’t wait to read yours!

Lydia: I throw away mascara afte 3 months as well. As for everything else, I tend to forget when I bought them but I do regular checks though to see if soemthing has gone bad.

Dao: I do the same as you. One of the reasons why I like pigments can last for years.

Sab: some lotions are liquidy, but if you’ve had them for a long time then it’s probably best to throw them away.

Alyssa: that is a great idea. I usually remember when I bought my mascara, but I should probably start doing that with everything else.
