MAKE UP EXPIRATION GUIDELINE

HI LOVELIES!!

This post is all about when to toss that make up! Let's all be real, we all keep that eyeshadow because it's so pretty or I'm sure I'll use this soon and never end up doing so. Now's the time to go through your make up & start tossing the old stuff. It just makes room for you to go out and buy new make up or rediscover things you forgot you had ;)

This is all a guideline & recommendations. You can choose to go by it or not. :) 
Your make up will have a container with the recommended expiration date on it. Most will be a container with a number (months/year). 

PRIMER: 12 MONTHS
FOUNDATION & CONCEALER: 6-12 MONTHS. If it has separated or the color has lightened toss it. 
BRONZER: 12-18 MONTHS. If it starts to be flaky, toss it.
POWDER EYESHADOW/ BLUSH: 2 YEARS. Again,if it is flaky, toss it.
LIQUID EYELINER & MASCARA: 3 MONTHS. If mascara is clumpy or starts to smell bad, toss it. Liquid liner will usually dry out. 
PENCIL LINER: 9-12 MONTHS, some 24 MONTHS. I would toss around 6 months since it is touch  eye and can contain bacteria that causes eye infections. 
LIP STICK: 2 YEARS. Toss if it starts to get dry
LIP GLOSS: 1 YEAR. Toss if super sticky or smells bad.
NAIL POLISH: 1-2 YEARS. If it turns goopy or separates & wont form back after a good shaking, toss it.

Hope this makes you go through your make up & get rid of the old. I mean who doesn't love new make up :) 

BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL
XOXO,
MARISSA

JUNE IPSY BAG

Hi there!! Back with this months Ipsy bag! I was so excited when I opened this bag!! I loved everything in it!!


I received the Laneige BB Cushion. It's exclusively sold at Target. It came with a puff and three shades to choose from. 

Next is the Be a Bombshell Lash Out mascara in black. Always love trying out mascaras. 

Up next. The Jesse's girl liquid eyeliner. I've been wanting to try this for a long long time. 



The next item is NYX bitter gloss in apple strudel. I love their butter glosses ! 


Last but not least is the Marc Anthony Beach Spray. I haven't ever tried a texturizing spray before so I'm excited to try this one out. I've heard great things about it! Perfect just for summer :).

PRODUCTS NOT WORTH BUYING

Hi loves! Back with another post. This time it's all about products I tried and didn't think were worth the money spent. 


1. Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydratingg Cleanser-$7.99. This cleanser just didn't cut it for me. It didn't  sud up and felt my face feeling tight and dry afterwards. I decided to use it on my make up brushes  just to use it up and ended up just tossing it because again it didn't sud up or get any of the make up out of the brushes. This product was a dud or me. 

2. Clear scalp & hair therapy shampoo-$5.99. Again a product I didn't like. It didn't foam up, left my hair feeling dry. Just didn't feel like it cleaned my hair one bit. 

3. Jordana Best length extreme lengthening mascara. $3.99. This mascara didn't lengthen my lashes one bit. I felt like it gave more volume than anything. It was clumpy and once it dried on the lashes it felt very rubber like. 

4. ELF lip exfoliator-$3.99. This product is just like a lipstick but has brown sugar and an oil in it. It broke the first time I used it. It did do an okay job of getting the dead skin off, but I prefer my Lush Mint Julip lip scrub over this one.
