makeup, MakeUp, MAKEUP!


Okay Ladies,
it's time to go through your purses, makeup bags, vanity...
wherever it is you keep it and make sure it's safe to use!
You don't want to be missing out on the holiday festivities 
due to bad makeup this holiday season!

things to remember...

Mascara: the most prone of all makeup to harbor bacteria because the wand is constantly being dipped. 
*A general rule is anything that is a liquid has a shorter life.
Concealer: remember you’re generally using concealer to cover blemishes, 
which can be more sensitive and prone to infection than other parts of your face.
Liquid Foundation:  ALWAYS use a sponge, and not your germ-laden fingers! 
& if the foundation separates or smells bad, throw it out!
Eye Shadow:  powder lasts longer than creams!
Lip Pencil: remember to sharpen and cover between uses.
Lip gloss:  same as mascara (constantly being dipped) 
but a bit different due to a 
different formulation chemical composition!


AND for your BRUSHES...


WASH once a week with soap!
