Mascara: 3 months

geesh, I didn't realize this one!

gotta throw all my love mascaras away
>_<

Things like lipgloss, powers, bronzers, and blushes have a longer shelf life than things you touch, like cream blushes or liquid foundations. I would recommend throwing out any things you touch daily after about six months, and a year for the other items mentioned. Perfume lasts for around a year and a half, in my own experience, but after that it starts to lose it's scent. Lotions can last for at least a year, until they start getting runny or clumpy. Hope this helps!

Is Nose Right a scam?

Lipgloss that has a tube brush grows bacteria faster than almost any other cosmetic, even when you clean the brush weekly because the bacteria settles on the brush and then gets caught in the product inside the tube when replaced and basically throws a party. Most lip gloss will keep for 18 months but I don't personally keep mine longer than 90 days. If your once odorfree lip gloss starts to develop a unusual smell, toss it and move on! :) JJ
