As beauty bloggers we collect so many things that we will never get around to using, and therefore so many things go bad before we can get to them. On the one hand it breaks my heart to toss out so many things, but they are no longer usable– so at least I can feel good about recycling the packaging!lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-65975899542960690062017-09-13T17:11:32.827-07:002017-09-13T17:11:32.827-07:00This is such a helpful post, especially for shamel...This is such a helpful post, especially for shameless hoarders like me!ColorSutraahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461490335856917171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-58844377874952511422017-09-13T14:30:58.878-07:002017-09-13T14:30:58.878-07:00I tossed put so much makeup in the past 6 months a...I tossed put so much makeup in the past 6 months as I cleaned out vanities and drawers before moving.

I also think that they feel the necessity to alert consumers in the event that they get sick from products that are used beyond their shelf-life. That said, I have had mainstream lipsticks (with plenty of preservatives, that have gone rancid,lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-63477527088466541692017-09-13T07:21:16.484-07:002017-09-13T07:21:16.484-07:00I remember when you were purging before your move,...I remember when you were purging before your move, and am not surprised that you are still finding things to purge. Once you start that process, it is really quite easy to dump things that you either know you won't use, or that you realize you shouldn't;t be using any more. It is so cathartic on the one hand, and on the other it makes me sick to see things that I spent money on ending up lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-63714523184758411872017-09-13T07:17:59.960-07:002017-09-13T07:17:59.960-07:00I don't go by the codes very often either, I o...I don't go by the codes very often either, I often can't remember when I opened things anyway. I do the nose and texture test as well since some things last longer than their labels suggest, and sadly some turn before they should.lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-12725513171351870892017-09-13T07:15:42.700-07:002017-09-13T07:15:42.700-07:00I know, lipsticks are a tough one for me as well. ...I know, lipsticks are a tough one for me as well. I only tend to toss mine when they start to smell weird and the consistency changes. All of the lipsticks and lip glosses in this photo were quite old, and they had become rancid or the texture changed. I pretty much do the same with everything else except for mascara– which I toss out after 3-4 months.lola seicentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096919291120769005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-89213399943580695762017-09-12T17:11:25.349-07:002017-09-12T17:11:25.349-07:00When I knew we were moving I went through everythi...When I knew we were moving I went through everything and did some major tossing. Then I did it again as I was packing. It did feel good to get rid of things that I'd saved for ever so long.

I don't much go by code dates on makeup, I trust my nose and my sense of any changes in texture or performance to know whether or not something is ready to go. :)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140768717698525281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455649611035614739.post-10170884440077806742017-09-12T13:52:34.945-07:002017-09-12T13:52:34.945-07:00I can't bring myself to toss my lipsticks.

LOL! I don't know where you got this 'timeline' from, but frankly, it's just not true. <br /><br />It makes much more sense to get rid of something you use near your eye (even though you can sharpen it and get an unpolluted new point.)
