when to dispose off a lipstick??

Question

there's no way to know ..most of them come without expiry date but i want to know..how long can a lipstick be used??

Answer 1

when it starts to clump or starts to have that funny old makeup smell

Answer 2

typically you should replace any type of make up like mascara , lip gloss, lipstick and such every three months to prevent the growth of Bactria. As far as you others , suck as foundation and eye shadow and such about once a year to every two years!! Or if possible by expiration dates!!!!

Answer 3

I agree that lipstick should be thrown out when it loses it's original texture and moisture. Check out the attached site, it tells you about every kind of makeup....

Answer 4

When it starts to dry and/or has lost a smell or develops a smell. I usually don't keep them around for longer than a year if I don't use them often.

Answer 5

I would not use a lipstick longer than 6months if there is no expiration date. Bacteria can build up.

Answer 6

i believe lipsticks are six months.

mascara is one month...i think max is three months.

and foundation is like six months also. but it depends, if you use liquid foundation, just replace the sponge or clean it ever so often.

Answer 7

About a year, give or take a couple months. They are a harbinger of germs, so don't share them either.

Answer 8

I would say don't keep it any longer than 8 months

Answer 9

until it starts getting hard or dry on your lips

Answer 10

when it starts to smell rancid ---throw it
