7make up facts you didn´t know

1) Drugstore makeup is just as good

When I stopped using my over-priced foundation and started using the one I bought from the drug store, I actually started breaking out less.

2) Makeup expires

• Mascara-  3- 6 months
• Power eye shadow – 2 years
• Nail Polish – 1 Year (I threw out nail polish that was over 5 years old)
• Liquid foundation – 6 months

3) Cosmetics are organic too

Instead of being made from synthetic materials, organic makeup is said to be made from natural minerals like calcium, silica and magnesium.

4) Lipstick is not for everyone

Contrary to popular belief, lipstick doesn’t suit everyone. I learned this after years of buying different colors until it occurred to me, that lipstick  just doesn’t work for me. I started using lip gloss instead 

5) Foundation doesn’t go EVERYWHERE

Foundation is only meant for trouble areas on your face –  blemishes here and there, but not for every part of your face.

6) Mascara can cause serious damage

Sleeping with mascara on can cause your eyelashes to dry up and eventually break off. Crusty mascara can attract dirt and bacteria leading to eye infections or to the lash bed … gross.

7) There is no such thing as wrinkle magic

Women spend over a billion dollars a year in anti-aging creams. Actually, expense anti-aging creams have little or no effect on wrinkles but they smell damn good and make you feel like you’re doing something about wrinkles.
