Are you really putting effort into cleaning out your makeup bag? Well, take a look at your makeup bag. Is it free of junk? The makeup? Is it clean? Nicely organized?
Or are there nasty looking makeup products? Could someone go into your makeup bag and think to themselves “dirty and ruined?” When was the last time you replaced your mascara?
Have you gotten sloppy? Have you bought new makeup and forgotten about the products you already had? Maybe you never really liked that last lipstick you bought? Maybe you didn’t really need another blush? Over the years, you probably have accumulated a lot of unnecessary makeup.
I know I did!
Here are some easy tips to get your makeup bag back in shape:
1. Wash, wash, wash! Your makeup bag that is. Or if after you looked at your bag you think “wow, theirs no way I’m ever getting that friggin black stuff off the sides!” Then replace it with an old purse or buy a new cosmetic bag.
2. Throw out makeup that is expired and everything that’s dry:
- Discard anything that is liquid or cream (ie. cream foundations, lipsticks, bronzer, and cream eyeshadows) after one year.
- Throw out all of your powder products (ie. loose powders, blush, pressed powder, and eyeshadows) after two years.
- Mascara and liquid liners last up to six months.
- Eye pencils, lip pencils and brow pencils are good up to three years.
- Lipsticks, lip color pots, and lip gloss can be used for a total of two years.
The list above is only a guideline. Because if you’re anything like me, you probably bought makeup used it once or twice and never ever used it again. Now, you wouldn’t throw it away just because you’ve had it for six months or a year. Would you?
I wouldn’t!
3. So, why not do a makeup swap with your friends and family? This is a great way to get rid of makeup you don’t use or never really liked. And maybe you’re lucky to exchange it for something you’ll truly love.
These are simple steps you can follow to clean out your makeup bag and free it of products you don’t want or use.
Fast and simple!

Before you can even start thinking about foundation colors, you need to decide what type of coverage you need.
Anyways, a few days ago I purchased Revlon’s ColorStay Brow Enhancer and I must say I’m sold on this friggin product. I’ve used it almost everyday since I bought it.
The luminous highlighter accentuates the brow bone area and it gives it a lifted appearance. 
The tinted wax formula colors and sets brows for a soft definition.
This dual-ended brow enhancer is extreamly easy to use and its fool proof. Hahaha, I’m sorry but I think it’s hard for someone to make a mistake with this product. 
Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer is suppose to last for 16 hours. I have no idea if it actually does. I don’t wear my makeup nearly that long or at least I don’t think I do. But I can tell you this, this product doesn’t smear! 
This mascara is easy to use. You simply coat your lashes with step 1, and immediately after with step 2. Doing one eye at a time and applying the top coat before the white primer drys will give you better results. Just make sure you coat every white lash with black mascara.
