lip smackers pefferably


they dont tell you went its out of date on the packet.How long does it take for a lip gloss/balm to go out of date?
there should be a symbol on it that looks like a little container with a word like ';3M'; or ';10M'; on it...the number followed by the M means ';three months'; or ';ten months'; as in the expiration from purchase date. its of course and estimate to save their butts from being sued cuz someone used the same mascara for a year ;) lol which is not safe to do! check for the expiry dates!!How long does it take for a lip gloss/balm to go out of date?
Most cosmetics now have a little cosmetic container image on the package that says either 6,12, or 24. Most cosmetics last 12 months. Except mascara, you should not keep that longer than 6 months. Each application opens the container to bacteria from the air and your own lashes, which can eventually lead to an eye infection or pink eye.





Don't use items like foundations, or lipsticks/glosses past a year, you not doing anything but putting bacteria on your face.
