    that's the trouble with 'stuff' - because it was expensive we feel guitly about throwing it. As far as make up is concerend it has oils in it which will feed bacteria and it goes off - maybe that will help!" You can cultivate soem VERY nasty eye infections from make up!

    So true. There were loads of eye liners and lip liners that were furry on the tips. Bleurgh!!! They had been festering in the bags for years.

    Jo - valli is right, when I did my HND in advanced beauty therapy we were told that make-up only lasts 6 months because of bacteria and the same goes for moisturisers as we tend to dip our bacteria riddled fingers in them! Also, new lotions/moisturisers have a shelf life mark on the packaging, normally two years if they remain unopened, after that the smell alone can go funny and also the properties in it won't be as active. Once you've opened it though it's six months again. Sorry all - time for mega de-clutter!!!! x
