New Year, New You!!

Happy New Year!!!
I hope that you had a wonderful festive season and have started this year with a bang!

Did you make any resolutions for 2013? I have set some goals for myself and am looking forward to meeting new challenges and opportunities this year.

So a new year gives you a new start, I like that! It also means time to get things sorted for the new year and to get yourself organised. One of the best things to do is clean out your makeup draw, cabinet, bag etc. The list of rules below is taken from an email I recieve from Robert Jones, a fabulous makeup artist whom I admire greatly. I encourage you to visit his site www.robertjonesbeautyacademy.com

Here are the rules for cleaning out:


1. If you haven't used it in a year, it should go!


2. If they are things you rarely use, but want to have around for when you want them, send them out the door! Makeup does have expiration dates!! Here they are:


Concealer: 12 months
Powder: 2 years
Eyeliner: 3 years
Eyeshadow (powder): 3 years
Foundation: 18 months
Lip liner: 3 years
Lipstick and lip gloss: 2 years
Mascara: 3 months


*Remember these dates are based on the fact that the products are kept in a temperature controlled environment.


3. Again, if you haven't used it in a year, throw it out. Trends change constantly!


The best part is, now that you have cleaned out, it's the perfect time to go out and buy some new makeup to refresh your look for the new year!! Welcome to the new you!!
 
Have a go and I look forward to sharing in 2013!!
