It's sad but true - despite how much you've invested in it (and how little it's been used!), that bottle of Chanel Mat Lumiere foundation has to go when it reaches its expiry date!
It happens to everyone... You buy something, play around with it for a few days and then soon enough it finds its way to the back of your makeup drawer where it lays unnoticed for ages, hardly used. But makeup that is past its expiry date can be really harmful for your skin, so it honestly is better to toss it!
I've compiled a list of (most) commonly used makeup products and how long you can keep them before its time to say goodbye. And its pretty useful to keep track of when you've purchased things so you know when to toss them - in a diary, on your computer, little labels on the products themselves, whatever floats your boat!

Hey Dania! Thanks for your comment.
Foundations (if they're good quality, atleast) do last upto two years without going bad, I've been using the same Bobbi Brown foundation for almost 2 years and its perfectly ok. But you're right... you can usually tell by the smell of cosmetics when they start to go off.
Thanks, Im glad you like the blog :)
