Old makeup is dangerous

So not only am I regularly chomping down on some risky foods, I also am guilty of holding onto old makeup (despite having written articles about the topic, not to mention just that I and every other woman out there should simply know better!). How about you, what do you have lurking in your cosmetics bag?

A recent survey conducted by Debenhams (a retail chain in the UK and Ireland) found that the average female Brit holds onto makeup for 4 years, ie. way, way, way past it has expired.

Really, is it worth holding onto that pricey foundation if it’s laden with bacteria that’ll give you an infection? Besides, this gives you a reason to invest in a whole lotta new cosmetics (and there are some great goodies coming out right now that I’ll be posting about in the next week or so). I know I’m trashing my old makeup today, right after my midday nap.
