Hi everyone I have been missing from this website for at least 2 years now! The problem I have now is this. I used to wear a full face of makeup everyday. Ive accumulated tons of products... my extra large train case is completly full.
Over the past couple years wearing that much makeup was no longer as important to me. Many days I go without any makeup at all. I still love makeup and I still love putting on makeup. Ive just had a rough couple of years where it just didnt matter as much. I still got all dolled up for special occasions... about 1 to 3 times a month.
So now I have so many products that have just been sitting and they are barely used. I know all lipsticks and lip glosses are garbage now. I dont hold on to mascara either. But its breaking my heart thinking of parting with some of my favorite shadows and liners. Not to mention how much all that stuff cost!
How long do you think is safe to hold on to eyeshadow, pencil eyeliner, lipliners, liquid liners, blush, and foundation powders?
These are the products I would like to save most but everything is at least a year old. Some have not been touched for a couple years or more.
I have recently cleaned all my brushes and want to start wearing my makeup again. If these items are still good and safe to keep is there any way I could freshen them up to make them like new again? I was thinking along the lines of sharpening all the pencils and going over the powder products with alcohol to sanitize them. I dont know if those are good ideas but they are all I can think of...
In the end I will probably end up throwing away a lot of things... and its ok because theres always new items that are better or just as nice. But I do have a few beloved items I want to save... Chanel quads, UD palettes, MAC shadows, Too Faced blush, Guerlain foundation powder...
Let me know what you ladies think I should do! Is my makeup still safe to use and will the quality still be there... or should I just start over.
Thanks for reading all this!
