Clean out those make up bags, kits, and drawers! It is time to clean house and get rid of the old, bad and gone bad.
Make up expires, so re-evaluate your supplies.
Playing for Keeps:
Keep it if it doesn't smell funky. Keep it if you plan on wearing it. Remember that tons of cosmetic companies out there have the recycled plan, bring in the empties and you will get a re-fill, so keep them in a bag and when you have enough, go to collect your prize. MAC has Back 2 MAC, bring in 6 empties and get 1 lip or eye color. It doesn't even have to be completely used up! If you have a "what was I thinking" lip color from last season, it counts too!
Garbage Pail Kids:
Toss it if it smells funky, or looks funkier. Mascaras smell and get crumbly, lip sticks will smell like crayons when turned rancid, concealers/foundation will have an un-natural scent when expired. If it's a yucky product, it is not healthy for your eyes or skin, Acne Amy knows.If you haven't worn or used it and it's still okay, re-gift. Make a nice little bag with that lotion you never opened and the great eye color that just-wasn't-you, recycle to a friend that will rock it. Karma.
Clean those brushes, tidy things up and organize. Keep your skin care in the medicine cabinet. I like keeping my goodies together, Eyes are on one tray, lips another, and foundation and correctors on another. My routine of make up application goes in that order, as I work my way across my make up area, my full face come together as I hit the end of the assembly line. If you beauty regime is quicker and more efficient, your day will be too.
