Old makeup?

What do you do with it? I've got loads of old makeup going back up to 10 years, should I chuck it? I don't use it but some was quite expensive.

I never throw it out. I've got stuff that's a lot older than a mere ten years. I've never had any sort of infection or problem. I think the "infection" thing is nonsense, dreamed up to make us buy more stuff and spend more money.

I've just found a 3 year old Estée Lauder foundation that I used a few times, I was wondering the same should I bin it,

I think I'll keep it considering the price of it.

I use it. If it looks or smells funny I bin it.

The thing I hate is when you buy an eyeshadow palette because you like a few of the colours. These run out but you still have half a palette of unused colours because they don’t really suit you. Feels like such a waste to throw out

Any of it Mac? Take back 6 empties (or used now is fine) and get a free lipstick

I’m using a 13 year old benefit lemon aid, it’s fine. Also had a 14 year old Avon lipstick - that started to smell funny so it got chucked. I think the smell is the deciding factor.
