Highest of fives!

Yes! Good job, you!

She was like “she’ll be grateful for anything” and I was like “ma’am I used to run a thrift store, be specific, needy people need to be happy with what they receive too” 🤣 2/2

There is nothing nastier than a skin infection, except maybe an eye infection because someone used some mascara that smelt a bit too cordially sweet. Did you know you can get eye herpes? Because you can get eye herpes and if you get them once you can never wear contacts again. 8/8

Nobody’s going to judge you for keeping expired makeup, I have eye shadow palettes that are old enough to drive. But I KNOW they’re expired and I’m careful about using them. 7/8

(Pro-tip: if it doesn’t have an obvious expiry date, how dusty is it, and open it—does it smell slightly not like you remember it should? Probably expired.) 6/8

Eye pencil - 1 to 2 years
Powders - up to 2 years
Lipstick - 1 to 2 years
Gloss - 12 months
5/8

It’s cool if you don’t want to go this far, but a good general timeline:
Skincare - 6 mo to 1 year
Liquids (makeup) - 6 mo to 1 year
Mascara/liquid liner - 3 to 6 mo (be especially careful about stuff around your eyes)
4/8

sometimes they use internal number strings that don’t make obvious sense. Or you can go by the manufacture date plus 1 year if that date is visible. 3/8

Some products will have a string of numbers but not an obvious expiry date. But they may have a PAO number followed by an M for number of months of shelf stability past opening. If you want to take an extra step you can google the product and the expire timeline,
2/8

Oh cool, so a bit like me saying I’ll never choose to shop at Joanne’s again.

Hang on… was she even INVITED?

I’m proud of you, friend!
