Expiration Date on Make Up.

Hello my Lovelies, How are you all doing on this cold miserable morning? Now the other day I decided to sort through my make up. I mean I'm buying new make up nearly every other week thanks to this blog and reading other amazing blogs. In the process I neglect other products I have been loyal to over the years and some got back years and I mean years. Some are that old they have crumbled yet are still useable. Yet, make up like food has expiration dates on it, yep make up goes out of date. To check you need to look at the label and the number in the little make up boz that says like 24 or 12 is telling you how many months you can use it for. So here is a run down of all products and their use by dates.

 I was shocked when I sorted through mine and found some dating back over 10 years. My mum has make up dating back to the 80s. I am going to have to sit down with her and make her throw all the old junk away. God only knows how much bacteria is on it. No I'm not one of those people who hates germs I just don't like knowing that my make up and my mums make up has a build up of bacteria and yet we still use it on our faces. It's like brushes I have to start cleaning them more often than I do and also make my mum clean hers.

So do you know how long you've had your make up for?

The Autumn Tag.

1. What is your favourite thing about Autumn?

I love being able to throw on a big wooly jumper and Boot like slippers. I love being warm and cosy and I love being able to throw on lots of layers and warm clothes is great. Also, Autumn means that Halloween and Christmas are coming.

2. Favourite Autumn Drink?

I really love Tea and Coffee and other warm drink except novelist and horlicks. So it's hard to say, I have coffee in the day and tea as it gets dark so I'll say its a toss up between tea and hot chocolate lol.

3. Favourite Scent/Candle?

I don't really like scented candles, so I'm going to have to say a perfume which is loverdose. It smells like liquorice and I mainly have liquorice at Christmas. So whenever I smell it I think of Christmas and all things warm and cosy. 

4. Best Autumn Lipstick?

At the moment I'm loving MAC Creme Cup but I really only wear lipstick if I'm going out of an evening. If I'm not I stick to lip gloss or lip balm.

5. Go To Moisturiser in Autumn?

I have very dry skin which is also prone to breakouts so I use three types. During the day I wear simple moisturiser to hydrate skin if I'm wearing make up that is. If I'm staying in having a make up free day I use E45 and at night to help clear my skin I use germolene. I know some may think yuk that's horrible, but I've tried tons of stuff from the doctors and now my dermo. Nothing works apart from germolene.

6. Go To Autumn Eye Colour?

During the day I tend to stick to a soft eye, a soft pink or beige and then a brown on the edge and crease of the eye, and when going out of a night time I do the same only this time I use silver in place of the pink or beige and black in place of the brown. At the moment I love Kelly Brooks eye shadow which can be found in new look. I will do a post on them soon. 

7. Favourite Band/Artist to listen to?

Hmmm that's a tough one because I don't have a particular band I stick too, my taste on music varies depending on my mood. I've gone back to 90s pop at the moment with he likes of Backstreet boys! Steps and New Kids on the Block. Thanks to them all reuniting and doing tours over here last year. Again I will do a post on the gigs lol.

8. Favourite Outfit To Wear?

I love to wear jeans, a knitted jumper and boots during the winter. If I'm going out I put on thick tights and a nice dress with a shrug.

9. Autumn Treat?

My wishlist is bigger than me at the moment, but I really want to get my hands on illamasqua hydra primer. I first saw it on pixiwoos youtube channel and as I have dry skin I thought it would be perfect.

10. Favourite Place To Be?

Bed, I love my bed, especially when it's cold outside. I love getting cosy in bed with a hot chocolate and a hot water bottle and sticking a classic christmas movie on like It's a Wonderful Life or White Christmas.
