What's In Your Purse?

I've been carrying a gray bag similar to the Chloe bag pictured below. The Chloe bag has been my dream bag for a moment now, but the price is not my dream price. So, I'll just lust over the bag from afar. What's in my purse, well it's filled with my day to day necessary things, but here is a highlight of some of those things I would like to share:

What's In Your Purse? by yagirlflo featuring genuine leather handbags

1. I love,  love this Coach wallet. Okay, wait, I love Coach overall! This soft pink wallet is my favorite, it keeps everything organize, just the way I like it.
2. Ego Faces Luxury Lipstick in Love Stuck-I love the color, the formula and how long-lasting it is. Ladies you must grab this lipstick.
3. I get so many ideas running through my head in the day. The best piece advice: write it down. I jot everything down so I can get back to the idea to develop it further. I carry this journal everywhere. 
4. Do I really have to explain this!
5. I came across Tiffany & Co sunglasses in a magazine a while back, and fell in love with their design. A girl really feels so Audrey Hepburn wearing these. 
6. Ego Faces Marbleized Eyeshadow- you never know when you need to turn your look up a notch when leaving work. 
7. Ego Faces Mascara- good to have in the purse, especially if you are having a minimal makeup day, 2 coats of mascara gives you that wide eye look.

Discarding Make up !!!?

So last week I went through my stash of make up and realized that I haven't cleaned it out in a long, long time. I had products that turn different colors, consistency was different, I mean it was scary to think I was going to put this stuff on my skin.

Did you know, make up comes with an expiration date?  A date, which is not written on the packaging. There are a few tell-tale signs you should be aware of just the same for instance liquid  foundation turning clumpy, thick or extra runny.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution to determine when you should dump your color cosmetics because that’s decided in large part  by the product’s formulation and the method in which you store them which should always be in a cool, dry place. Because cosmetics manufacturers aren’t under a U.S. mandate to display expiration dates on their packaging, you’re then left with the task of following  loose guidelines given out to us by these same manufacturers concerning the toss schedule of your products.

So here is a list to help you out with  tossing out products that's past its expiration date:

Liquid and cream foundation: 2 years

Concealer: 2 years

Powder: 2 years

Mascara: 6 months

Lipstick: 12 to 18 months

Lip and eye pencils: 12 to 18 months

Eye shadow: 2 years

Powder blush: 2 years

Cream blush: 2 years

Moisturizer: 2 years

Eye Cream: 6 months

Sunscreen: 2 years

Face cream: 2 years

Note: Dirty makeup brushes carry bacteria so clean them regularly to extend the life of your makeup.
