I personally feel nothing is excessive as this is perfectly legal & above board. I am trying to get maybe 3 -5 years' worth of stuff but only stuff we'll actually use.

Wouldn't lotions tend to seperate if stored for a long time?

Did you buy 1 or 2 carte noire?

OH got it completely wrong FloFlo. He just saw a jar that said espresso right next to the Carte Noire and it turned out to be Nescafe espresso so only 1 jar of Carte Noire bought and MSM is showing the expresso back in the 2 for £6 again.

Just one thing while I think about it.

Does anyone on here know where I can get the old style liquorice belts/straps? I am apparently "helping" my DD make a TARDIS cake for her boyfriend and need something for the POLICE sign.

Can't you buy liquorice in health food shops?

The gel colourings are supposed to be okay for adding to icing - making it still workable.

I only ever used the black colouring and regalice at Christmas for snowmen hats and they seemed to keep their blackness. Couldn't you leave the black bits until the night before so they don't have as much time to dry out?

But where do you keep it all?
I am very limited space wise as we live in a flat. I have dreams of getting a second freezer! Lol!

I guess they might over (say) 5-6 years but surely not after 2-3 years or they'd have some kind of sell by date on them (which they do't).

Expiration Dates for Beauty Products

You know your makeup and skin-care items won't last forever, but for how long are they good? Check out this guide.

•Anti-aging and acne treatments: Three months to a year. Antioxidants are easily oxidized, so be on the lookout for any changes in color.
•Body lotion: Two to three years, particularly if it’s in a pump container.
•Shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel: About three years.
•Bath oil: One year.
•Sunscreen: Check the package for an expiration date.
•Mascara and liquid eyeliner: Three to four months. Make sure you’re diligent about replacing these items to prevent contamination and infections.
•Eye and lip pencils: Three to five years. Sharpen them before each use as a way to preserve them and keep them clean.
•Lipstick and lip gloss: Two to three years.
•Foundation: About two years. Most bottles are designed to last that long. And if you don’t use it, chances are you didn’t love it to begin with.
•Perfume: About two years. To get more mileage out of a perfume, resist the temptation to display a pretty bottle on your vanity. Instead, stash it away in a cool, dark place.
•Nail polish: One year.
•Hairstyling products: Three to five years. Most are alcohol-based, which helps preserve the formula.
•Bar soap: Up to three years.
•Shaving cream: About two years.
•Deodorant: Up to two years.
