I am doing some major cleaning and noticed I have lip gloss and lipstick for some time. (a few years!) Apparently I forgot I had them. Should I toss them or are they still good?

Most makeup has a fairly long shelf life up to a year! However, there are certain things which you may want to consider for replacing it outside of that timeline.
Lipticks and glosses and balms....Have you had a cold? A cold sore?
Eye makeup..........Any eye irritaitons? Styes, pink eye or conjunctivitis? etc.
Face ... Any breakouts? Wounds? Runny nose?
Friends....... (I hope you don't share!!) But if you have, and if your friends have had any of these problems, then those bacteria are growing in your makeup.

You are supposed to throw it out after a year. The reason for this is because it contains a lot of germs that can make you sick or give you an infection. The longer you keep it the more germs you can acquire.

As a rule, all make-up has a shelf life of 1-2 years.

LOL I have a lipstick that I have had for years now but I don't want to throw it because it looks good on me and it does no harm.

You should keep them for six months to a year. They do expire.
