Turned out it was rancid and she had a reaction to it. Her face was so swollen she was unrecognizable. No joke. It looked like she got beat up really bad. She had to go to the dermatologist for medicine and creams to reduce the swelling. Kinda scary.Zak and Weeziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788407775732486445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-29466456472962870192010-08-04T21:08:39.910-04:002010-08-04T21:08:39.910-04:00oh my gosh, i'm so sorry! i would be so furiou...oh my gosh, i'm so sorry! i would be so furious if someone had gone through all of my make up and thrown it away!keeanna grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06588649796087015208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-82254429274776731792010-08-04T16:19:14.365-04:002010-08-04T16:19:14.365-04:00Once makeup is opened it does need to be thrown ou...Once makeup is opened it does need to be thrown out in their proper timeframes... I have the list here let me see...<br /><br />Makeup Expiration<br />Mascara 3 months<br />Foundation 1 year<br />Powder Eyeshadow 1 year<br />Lipstick 1 year<br />Nail Polish 1 year<br />Blush or Bronzer 2 years<br /><br />It gets all kinds of bacteria on it and such that you do not want on your face or in your eyes. Google it. :)<br /><br />You shouldn't have to spend that much on those items. If you have a local CVS, go to it and look in their makeup area - they have AMAZING sales. I bought like $100 worth of makeup there a month ago or so for only $14. Oh yeah. Good stuff :)Sheri, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854862552801644449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-71591181799364307482010-08-03T12:51:10.813-04:002010-08-03T12:51:10.813-04:00And this would be the reason I refuse to wear make...And this would be the reason I refuse to wear make-up anymore. It's cheaper that way ^_~ Only time I put any on is during a very special occasion (weddings, funerals, etc) so I buy the cheap stuff so I don't feel bad tossing it later. I think the only thing I've kept is a powder foundation (one of those brush on kinds) and a blush. Chapsticks don't even last 3 months so *shrugs*.LadyStyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020724106526697135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-74628570829603410132010-08-03T10:44:03.843-04:002010-08-03T10:44:03.843-04:00I'm sorry, but this is funny.

I have such a collection of lip gloss. One time I dumped them out of my purse and there were 9 different kinds. (Clinique is the best though).Mama-Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580875108645568975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-53506618090147351142010-08-03T07:57:45.294-04:002010-08-03T07:57:45.294-04:00Expiration dates don't always mean much.

I have it on good authority that most items are fine past those dates, and some items are only given dates to encourage people to throw them away if they aren't used up and buy new stuff.Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-36374479627843844412010-08-03T02:35:15.176-04:002010-08-03T02:35:15.176-04:00WOw, that is a bummer!
