I’ve previously posted about the container that started it all:

I don’t wear makeup that frequently so it seems horrible to toss it after such a short amount of time! Guess I should throw out all my chemical-containing nail polishes, since all of them are over a year old.

Where did you get that nice drawer organiser?

What great advice. I hang onto my make-up way too long. Another item to address is to wash your make-up brushes in warm suddsy water quite often. Love your website.

I really agree with throwing out the old makeup! I usually just guess at how old something is, but I like your idea of putting the date on the back in sharpie. Thanks! I use the same kind, so it usually runs out the same time I should throw it out anyway. I’m scared of eye infections, and I won’t share my makeup, either.

I just have to say a BIG thank you for your site! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My husband thanks you! I’m so excited about getting my makeup drawer organized, I’ve tried several times to do it myself and I keep making a mess of it after it’s organized. Obviously I hold on to TOO MUCH STUFF!

Every couple months, I go through my make up and bathroom shelves and toss anything that has expired or that I just will never use. I have a brand of makeup that I really like, too. One benefit of this is that I have mascara and my mineral powder auto-shipped to me every 3 months so it doesn’t get too old and gunky.

I am moving soon and deceided to throw away anything in my bathroom that is old or almost empty. I don’t need to waste precious space in boxes. It is working out great! I feel so much better, and I don’t think I will miss anything!

I did this with my makeup a while back. Now, I only have what I use on a daily basis and I keep the other “special occasion stuff to sample or travel size because I don’t go through it as fast. Plus, it’s cheaper:-)

Thanks so much for this post! I’ve been fighting minor skin break-out under my eye & can’t figure out what exactly is causing it. I’m going to be watching my face care routine now to see if it could be a makeup product.
