Are those the new haul, or older stuff?

How embarrassing is it that I am going to take that in my car, because I want it to be safe.

Pretty!! When do you officially move into your new home? Taking them with you is just good sense IMO.

Tuesday sort of!  lol  The movers are coming Tuesday.  I am staying in a hotel that night, because my stuff won't get there until at least Wednesday.  I am so excited!!

That's so soon! I'm excited for you! Your new place is going to be amazing!! Is it the place you posted a floor plan for a while back?

[Booze Raccoon]

Help me out here.  I'm not snarky at all.  I have NO CLUE how to apply/wear/make it look good ... any make up!  

Do you wear all of those colors?
How do you not have doubles? 
Will you ever run out?  lol

[polka]

I can't believe moving day is almost here! Sooo exciting!

Oh there are definitely similar shades, but most people would be surprised as to how different they all are.  Yes, there are some duplicates, like I said, but for the most part they are all different.  I don't use the same palette everyday, so yes I will use them all, probably not the whole things ever, realistically, but the palettes in general yes.  I will never run out. Ever ever ever.  lol

Doesn't makeup go bad at some point?

Yes, but these are powder products, so they aren't going to go bad for a long time.  I don't have an unreasonable amount of opened liquid products.  Those go bad much faster.  I only have a few open containers of mascara, and I have a few open foundations, but nothing crazy.  I rotate them out, so I use all of the liquid products up before they expire.

Question Time: When do powders go bad? I had to get rid of some shadows prematurely due to psoriasis of the eyelid causing an infection ( boo fucking psoriasis) now I am super confused how long stuff is good for.

There is some debate about that.  I go by the rule of 5 years, or if they start to irritate the skin.  As long as they smell fine, work, and don't irritate the skin, I am not throwing mine away.  None of my shadows are anywhere near that old though. Also, you can clean them like they do at the stores to help prevent any bacteria, and of course if they have never been used then that lessens the chance as well.  


I think it also depends on the brand and the quality of the makeup

Thanks. I am so annoyed I had to throw away my Naked1 & Book of Shadows due to that fucking infection. Psoriasis sucks.

[bania]

I have shadows that are more than 6 years old and are still perfect. They are higher end (Lancôme and a few MAC) so I don't know if that makes a difference.

[sjh722]

I saw your picture on fb, lol. Nice!

Happy moving week!

[furby]

It's like the Christmas hamper of my dreams...

Travel safely palettes!

Who could spend that much on make-up?! Doesn't it go bad?! What about the starving children in Africa!!!!!

Just kidding. Enjoy it. I admire your strength in waiting until Christmas to use it. I would have busted into all of it lol.

Oh no these aren't all new lol  The only one that I am not opening until Christmas is My favorite things.  The naked 3 is new, but I used it once already.  The rest are older palettes.  I am just packing all of my makeup in general right now lol

I have no idea who would buy such things.  Absolutely ridiculous.  ::slams door on new lexus as I drive to starbucks to get my latte::

[ooglie26]

You must teach me the art of application when you get down here. I'm a minimalist/beginner, and want to learn how to spice it up once in a while!

About a year old. They met a tragic & early demise. I switched to the Wet & Wild cheapies around then, & even though I live the quality for the $ I miss the more artistic colors in UD palettes.

I think I getting a stila palette for XMAS

[venice2007]

I'd pack that with my crystal and china and carry myself :-) that's fragile stuff!!! :-)
Happy moving! Very happy and excited for you!!

[nursewife]

I'm so jealous!!! Make sure they handle it with a lot of care! It would be heart breaking if they broke or lost them.
