Makeup Shelf Life

Spring cleaning isn’t just about your closet – it’s also a great time to clean out your makeup supplies.
Makeup brushes and applicators can also easily become hosts for grungy bacteria that loves to live in your pores. So wrong – and really cleaning your brushes shouldn’t be seasonal, but rather on a weekly basis. It’s good for the brushes and your skin.
I love using MikaOliva’s brush cleaner. You’ll love the subtle, lemony smell. Also check out their makeup brushes – they’re handpicked from a Germany source and pro quality.
Makeup doesn’t last forever. Like many Products, it can spoil, discolor, and lose its effectiveness over time. Makeup shelf life should always be kept in mind – is it time to toss?
