Is anyone else guilty???

i confess, I've got some eyeshadow palettes in my collection that have been with me for years. While I love experimenting with new looks, I find myself gravitating towards the same trusty shades time and time again.

But here's the thing – I've heard conflicting opinions about the shelf life of eyeshadows. Some say they're good for years, while others argue they expire sooner. So, I'm curious to hear from those of you who've had your eyeshadows for a while – do you notice any changes in texture or pigmentation? And how long do you typically keep your eyeshadows before replacing them? Let's swap stories and tips! #MakeupAddict #EyeshadowObsessed #BeautyCommunity "" #MakeupRehab #VintageVibes #IsThisSafe #AskLemon8

... Read moreMany makeup enthusiasts wonder about the shelf life of their beloved eyeshadow palettes. While various brands may provide differing guidelines, it's commonly accepted that powders like eyeshadow can last between 2 to 3 years if stored properly away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. To ensure your products remain in top condition, regularly inspect them for signs of deterioration such as changes in texture, smell, or pigmentation – indicators that they may need replacing. Using clean brushes each time you apply eyeshadow can also help extend its life by preventing bacteria buildup. Remember to check the expiry dates if your eyeshadow has a designated one, and don't hesitate to share your tips with the beauty community! Knowing when to part ways with old makeup not only supports your skin health but also enhances your makeup application experience.

I am not sure about shelf life. I just use it until it’s gone.

#lemon8diarychallenge I love using this because when I am about to have a mental breakdown or cry session I really get to identify what I’m ACTUALLY feeling instead of just saying “I’m sad” or I’m “mad” it helps navigating the actual emotion I’m feeling instead of an umbrella term #emot
