Make-up

How old is your mascara?  Eye liner?  Lipstick?  Anything we are using as a beauty aid has a shelf life.  It's difficult to trash those products for which you paid a fortune at your friend's makeup party or the high end department store cosmetic counter.

In the fall,  infections kept alternating between my eyes.  It was very frustrating until it hit me over the head that I had bought new mascara, but was continuing to use my favorite eye liner pencil.  When I threw it away, the infections ceased.

Look through your beauty aids today.  Do you know if anything is older than a year?  Are there any colors that make you look ill?  Feel free to throw them away.  Only replace items you use regularly and choose colors that you know are flattering.
