Like the food in your fridge, makeup also expires. Products that are past their use dates can change colour and texture. There are also health risks when bacteria builds up which can increase your chances of eye infections and skin rashes.
Throwing out your expired makeup gives you an great excuse to buy new makeup!

Tips:
Applying makeup seems pretty straight forward, but i bet there are a few things you aren't aware of. For starters, how many of you apply concealer before foundation? Or Blush before lipstick? If so, you’re doing it all wrong. There’s definitely a science to applying your makeup products the correct way, and we’re here to report that it’s super easy and really makes a huge difference. And don’t ever skip the primer. That’s one of the most essential steps, and will actually prolong the life of your makeup throughout the day
1. Primer: After properly washing your face, start off with a primer, which will create a smooth canvas for your makeup. It will also help foundation last longer.
2. Foundation: Regardless of what a lot of people say, it’s best to apply foundation before eye shadow. Eyeshadow that falls onto your skin during application is actually easier to remove if you already have foundation on.
3. Concealer: Some people like to apply concealer before foundation, but it’s actually better to apply it afterwards. Foundation will initially help cover upunder eye circles and imperfections, and you can use concealer to lightly go over those areas that need it the most.
4. Loose powder: This is an essential step that will set the foundation and help absorb any excess oil on the face. It also makes it easier to remove any excess eye shadow that may fall underneath the eyes during application.
5. Eyes: Moving on to the eyes, it’s always best to start with eye shadow first, and then apply liner and mascara. You can always go back and touch up the shadow, but you’ll want to make sure to apply it first before adding eyeliner so your lids don’t look “cakey.”
6. Lips: Always line the lips before applying lipstick. This will give you boundaries for your lipstick, and will also prevent lipstick from smearing and running, not to mention help it last way longer. It’s also easier to pick a lip shade after you’ve finished your eye makeup.
7. Cheeks: Blush can make or break your entire makeup look, so it’s important to wait until the last step to apply it. Make sure to choose a shade that suits both your eye makeup and lipstick colors.
Wishing you all a fun-filled weekend..

For some people the weather can take a serious toll on our skin, hair and even our lips. Follow these easy tips to ensure year round kissable & chap free lips!
Exfoliate your lips. Removing dead skin cells built up on your lips is very important. Dry, chapped lips are very unappealing. And to make matters worse, lipstick will not apply smoothly to dry lips leaving a coloured flaky appearance.
If you have sensitive skin to make your lips look flawless in the winter you can simply apply Vaseline to your lips and wipe away any dead skin using a damn wash cloth.
You could also make a homemade lip scrub using olive/coconut oil with sugar. (How to tips below)
After exfoliating your lips make sure to apply a hydrating lip balm, not a gloss. Lip gloss can be very drying for your lips, I know it drys mine out. Try to find a lip balm that contains Vitamin E or cocoa butter
HOMEMADE SUGAR LIP SCRUB
Dry, flaky lips can make your lips appear aged. If you use a lip scrub your lips will become hydrated and the flakes will be rubbed away. I prefer to make my own lip scrubs instead of buying them at drugstores. Here is a simple lip scrub recipe using only two ingredients that everyone should have in their kitchen.
Ingredients: | |
1/2 tbsp | olive oil (I use extra virgin olive oil) |
1/4 tbsp | brown sugar |
Directions:
Tips:
I recommend carmex lip balm or maybelline baby lips if you're trying to get a good one.
