  • I think there's so much speculation about makeup and skincare expiration times, and to be honest the only sure way to be safe is to follow the manufacturers guidelines....however, if you've thrown away the outer packaging, or you can no longer read the date clearly, this video should give you a few guidelines in order to avoid any possible infection.
    MAKEUP USED
    NO7 Hydraluminous Foundation (Calico)
    REVOLUTION Conceal & Hydrate Concealer (C2)
    REVOLUTION PRO Translucent HydraMatte setting powder
    NYX Microbrow Pencil (Ash Brown)
    NYX Brow Setter
    NYX Epic Ink Eyeliner
    BENEFIT Hoola Bronzer
    REVOLUTION Blush Palette (Sugar & Spice)
    REVOLUTION Pout Bomb Plumping Lip Gloss (Kiss)
    JEWELLERY
    I’m not sure you’ll have noticed my beautiful bracelet that was sent to me by a company called Ana Luisa. I NEVER take it off. It’s sterling silver with a cross dangling from the chain. I LOVE IT. Why not check out the rest of their collection
    www.analuisa.co... and get $10 off your order with the code Wolf10. THIS IS NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK....this is just for you xxx
    CONTACT LENSES
    I sometimes wear contact lenses in my videos. My eyes are naturally browny/orange, but I like to switch things up with green/blue/grey contacts. Recently I was sent some coloured contacts from a company called TTDEYE who deal with both cosmetic and prescription lenses. I LOVE THEM!!!!
    If you want to try them go to ttdeye.com and use the code pamperedwolf10 for a 10% discount.

    FURTHER INFORMATION
    My skin type is combi/dry most of the month, but when hormonal, my skin gets very oily around my t-zone. It's very unpredictable (thanks skin) and I suffer from breakouts (mostly hormonal breakouts...thanks again hormones!)

    So helpful and eye-opening, Gemma!
    I know all the things you said, but...it's so hard to throw the expensive products away 😩. And if you really think about it, it's such a waste (of product AND money). When do you ever hit pan in an eyeshadow palette with 20 shades??? And most of us will own more than one palette 😱.
    Crazy, but I only put stickers with the opening date on liquid products 🙄😳. Have to change this!!!
    By the way...I still keep my wedding lipstick, 23 years now 😉. But don't worry, I don't use it....just sweet memories 💑.
    As always: Thanks Gemma 💟!
    Hugs and kisses, Sabine 😘

    I can honestly say I learn so much from each of your videos. I never knew the expire time was in that little icon. I never thought to clean my sharpener etc. So much great info in this vid alone. I am really in need to throw some make up out so this vid has given me the kick to do so.
    Thank you for taking time to do the videos.

    Ok this is a good reason not to over collect make-up. It's painful to throw out a $45 ABH pallette after 18 months, especially when it's a pallette I use in the summer only. I'm all about BH, cheap, always sales and I have my everyday favorite that I know I really use regularly. And if it's time to Chuck it, no hard feelings! Very good tips Gemma!

    I was completely unaware that my dry powder makeup can expire. Thank you for posting this video! I now have an explanation for a lot of my skin issues... while I am aggravated to discover I have caused several of them myself, by refusing to throw out old makeup when I should, I am grateful to have a solution. This weekend, the makeup hoard will be thoroughly purged, and my skin will being to heal!

  • @sophiegafney8312
    @sophiegafney8312 4 года назад +9

    Suntan lotions are really important when it comes to expiry. When I worked in a chemist years ago we used to tell customers not to use their lotions for more than 2 summers, but that was before all the new labelling. I am ashamed to say that I have an eyeshadow that I should part with, but it has memories of happy times selling make up when I worked in the chemist for 11 years!xxx

    • @gatitam2875
      @gatitam2875 4 года назад

      I know exactly what you mean, I had to part with a lot of makeup that had great memories attached, I wasn't using it but I wouldn't let go either, it was hard.

  • @cosmicspud6815
    @cosmicspud6815 4 года назад +9

    The trouble with all these use by dates is that when you go in shops like Boots you see people opening bottles to smell the product, so it makes a mockery of these dates.

  • @juneharrop6245
    @juneharrop6245 4 года назад +5

    Such a great informative video Gemma. I love the tip on shaking the bottles which I am going to do now. Most of my skincare is either dropper or pump but for any others I have a little spatula that I use. Another thing I have done for years is I keep all my perfumes in their original boxes so they are protected from the light ❤️ xx

    Great tips.Early this year when I heard about this I remember having to throw out a few eyeshadow palettes I had kept for years...it hurt to part with them! I now try not to collect more makeup than I need so that its not wasted. I never thought to sanitize my sharpener, will have to get some alcohol and give that a going over along with the lipsticks. Thanks for this information Gemma, very helpful. Have a great day xx

    Good video and I would say to parents, really be careful about giving old used makeup to your kids. My daughter ended up in A&E a few years ago after sharing some old makeup her friends mum had given her. She came home and complained of a headache and went to bed, literally a few hours later she woke being sick and one eye was completely swollen and red - it looked horrific. She ended up with strong antibacterial eye drops and had burst blood vessels in the eye, if we’d left it she could have lost the sight in that eye! Seriously scary. X

    Don’t companies have to put an expiration date by law rather than when a product actually expires? Pretty sure they do and the makeup actually lasts far longer, safely.

    Great topic Gemma! Along with visual cues of freshness, I also use my nose. I always give it a good sniff because sometimes it will develop an off odor before it starts to separate, etc.., especially if the product contains any oils. I will periodically spray down my powder eye shadows with 91% rubbing alcohol to sanitize them between uses. Cream or liquid products I use on or around my eyes get replaced every 3 months, this includes mascaras. :)

    • @helpfulnatural
      @helpfulnatural 4 года назад

      @Diana Moore No, not at all. In fact, if you accidentally smash anything that is pressed powder you can repair them with alcohol. You just crush all the pieces into loose powder in the pan or compact it came in, then drizzle or slowly pour rubbing alcohol over it to saturate. Then let it sit until it's bone dry. It won't look perfect like when it was new but the pressed aspect of it is restored and ready to be used again. :)

    Thank you for recommending Clarins “ Everlasting youth fluid” foundation 🙏😊. I am 45 years old and tried many foundations but this one is great. I have oily skin but it works even though it’s illuminating foundation. I am so happy to stop looking for foundation because it’s pricey to buy new ones often. But thanks to you I don’t have to spend extra anymore.
    Best wishes Alona.

Wish they would make them with a longer life. But anyways, thank you for this!

    Hi Gemma i must but in hear as you list the reasons for thtowing your products away. Add smell to the list the reason for this is this, one day i opened my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and i can only describe a nasty gone off type of smell assaulted my nostrils. The smell was akin the stale sweat. Sadly i had to immedietelly throw it away well before it expired. I have since repurchased this palette as it was at the time my favourite eyeshadow palette. I then had to go through my collection of 49 palettes and threw away a further 2 palettes and sanitized the rest. I go through them every 3 to 4 months to be on the safe side.

    This is great advice as it is a topic often not discussed. I became a bit obsessed with it a couple of years ago! I have noticed that some of my make up does not have the icon on for how long to keep it even though the brand follows this with their other products. I have learned a great deal watching your videos and have just indulged in my first Hourglass purchase after rewatching your review. I’ve got the blusher quad 😍 Thank you for all the advice you give and to your Mum too xx

      I bought the 6 pan palette. There's no way I'm tossing that 'as recommended' since I only use makeup once a week or so. I'll spray it with alcohol every couple of months and use clean brushes only.

    Hey Gemma :-))) Great video :-)) My daughter got a sore eye a few good years ago with a bad mascara and told me about the little box at the back of products, so since then I've been careful. I would say i put more makeup testers on my hand and my makeup collection is not big, i keep an eye on it lol. oxoxoxox

    I had a heart attack August 26th 2020 n Double bypass open heart surgery September 1st 2020. As a result, i couldn't go anywhere for months so, no need to put makeup on. That and i physically couldn't do it for months. I was going through my makeup recently and had to throw most (I'd say about 75-85%) of my makeup away. As it had expired.

    Hi Gemma, such a good video, thanks!!!👍🤩 It's a while ago you made it but can I still ask a question about it? I have al the Beauty So Clean products, take very well care of my make up and brushes/sponges. Does that make the expiry dates longer, do you know? It's such a waist of my beautiful products otherwise. Have a nice day!!!👍😘😘

    You will cringe when you read this. I have two eyeshadow palettes from around 1977 ish - yes that's right - around 43 years .... BUT, I haven't used them for a very very very long time. The reason for keeping them is nostalgia. My brother and his wife bought them for me as Christmas presents when I was around 14 and it was my first ever 'proper' make up. I just can't bear to part with them. One is greens, golds and browns, the other is blues, greys and pinks from Marks & Spencer would you believe or St Michael as the brand was then. Both say Fragrance Free on the tin - how forward thinking was that in those days!!

    Gemma, wouldn’t it be nice if you could have an actual makeup chemist on your channel to give us the inside scoop? I managed Drug Stores for years before I retired, and I started in the cosmetic dept. I know first hand how long makeup can sit on the shelf before it’s purchased. It would freak you out!

    Hey Gemma. Cheryl from Charlottesville Virginia here. Wondering if you found out the type of magnifying mirror your Mum recently bought. And I’m having a friend pick up The No 7 Luminous foundation when she goes to London next week. So excited. Think I’ll get Calico then the next darker shade. Do you know, off hand, what that color shade would be. Hard to find info on it where it’s not available in the USA yet. 😘Thank You !! Cheryl

      The next two shades are cool vanilla and warm ivory. They’re pretty similar in darkness, but as the names suggest are suitable for either cool or warm skin tones. I use calico in winter and cool vanilla in summer.

    I always wash my hands before, during & after. During usually when I add a serum upon the other sunscreen etc... Actually, have a question. Could we transfer potted pots to sterile pumps? I buy the glass pumps for Aloe Vera which I use through out my day at work. Now of course, I date it. Perhaps, could get a month or more from the serums? Thank you. I truly enjoy your informative video's. Amazing.

    My Too Faced chocolate bar has gone off without me realising (no change in smell, performance) and only after using it for 2 days and developing an eye infection so bad it required antibiotics, everything that I had over the expiry date went to the bin.
