Does Your Eye Makeup Have a Shelf Life? When To Toss It Out

Has your eye makeup ever betrayed you, ladies?!

By that we mean, have you suddenly developed an irritation, infection or possibly a sudden allergy to your favorite mascara, eye liner, eye shadow or even concealer?

Well, we have occasionally, and at the moment, we can't tell which eye makeup product is the bad guy.

We LOVE drawing in a signature cat eye EVERY day.....the winged eyeliner look achieved with eye liner in pencil form.

We also use a grey or brown eye shadow powder, 2 mascaras and yes, an under eye liquid concealer.

Our irritation features itchiness + redness around the winged tip area where we draw in our cat eye. The rest of the eye area  is fine. 

Just a weird irritation.

We also TEST OUT a lot of various skin care products for our beauty blog, so, the culprit could be ANYTHING.

So...how often should we TOSS OUT our eye makeup to play safe?

We looked around and found this from Sephora,com:

Eyeliner and Eyeshadow

Toss-it time:  

Liquid eyeliners, 3 months

Cream eye shadows, 6 months 

Pencil eyeliners and powder eye shadows, 2 years

Do you follow these makeup standards?

We're going to start from there, and see if  that's causing the irritation.

Have you ever developed an eye makeup irritation, infection or sudden allergy?

NYC 99 Cent Lipstick: Would You Wear It? We do!

99 cent lipstick.....

Yeah, right.....But does ANYONE really wear it?

We often do. And we are in LOVE with NYC's Ultra Lip Wear in BLOSSOM.

In fact, we were grocery shopping late this afternoon, when a woman of Indian descent approached us and introduced herself.

She had long, glossy black hair, dark olive skin and big brown eyes and was wearing zero makeup.

"Excuse me. Your shade of lipstick is beautiful. What color is it?"

I whipped the tube out of my bag and handed it to her. She memorized it. Thanked me. And walked away.

NYC
NEW YORK COLOR 316 BLOSSOM at CVS

That made my day.  Okay, not a big deal, but it's so nice when women compliment each other.

Here is a photo of me wearing it last year. You can get a small idea how it looks. I would describe Blossom as a pink-y fuchsia with blue undertones. I am a lousy photographer, as we can all see.

NYC also features other nice 99 cent shades. For that rock bottom price, you can toss it out, if you really hate it.

Sometimes, cheap makeup works. And it's really alright to buy some.
