Spring clean your make-up bag

When Spring arrives our little inner voice shrieks... "It's time to clean!", so whilst you're at it - don't forget to include your make-up bag. Many of our clients reveal in our workshops that they have owned make-up longer than they care to admit with some announcing they own items longer than they have been mother's of teenage children. You do the maths but I can share with you...that's a bit longer than recommended. Okay, this is extreme, however there are many unused, unproductive, out-of-date items lurking around in the bottom of make-up bags Australia wide.

If you are scratching the top of eyeshadow or powder before you apply it or shaking the bottle furiously to try and get your product to mix again then it's probably time to say "good-bye". Make-up doesn't last forever so to keep it working well, looking good and your face free from unwanted bacteria check out the ‘throw out' guide below.

* Foundation Liquid - 12-18 mths
* Foundation Powder - 2 years
* Mascara - 3-6 months
* Eyeshadow - 2 years
* Eyeliner - 2 years
* Blush - 2 years
* Lipgloss/Lipstick - 2 years

* always check the manufacturers guide for specific information.

So go on girls - take care of yourself. If you don't use it, get rid of it!
