I have lipsticks that I've stashed for years. So long as they are in vaguely reasonable storage temperature, I've had no problem. If they feel or smell off, I'd ditch them but I use things until they run out or break otherwise

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Trust my rage
Jan 25. Although my kids have been 1.5 weeks and 2.5 weeks early, so perhaps only 7.5 more weeks. Which scared the crap out of me this weekend and really kicked my butt into gear wrt getting stuff ready.

Good luck! We have really not started getting ready at all. I'm at 17 weeks, and I keep feeling like the end is SO far away, but every day it gets closer. I realized today that our 20-week appt (when we'll do the anatomy scan) is 3 weeks away... and that it will mark the halfway point. Eep!

I do the same thing, and have never had a problem.
I'm in the market for a blood red now.

AM HOME BACK IN NEW ORLEANS THANK JEBUS.
Also, I re-watched A Fish Called Wanda on the way home and I still love that fucking movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kiss of Death and Vampire Red look like good matches, thanks. Is Manic Panic good quality? The thing I keep forgetting about lipstick is that Vaseline moisturises my lips better. I have to factor in more frequent re-application.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I have lippies, blushes and shadows that are YEARS old and worn to the edges. Unless they start to get wonky or cake or smell funky, I use 'em. But those guidelines are just that -- guidelines. Common sense rules!
I have a Lancome eyeliner (wooden cased) pencil that's about 3/4 inch long now. I've had it since...1997. I love it.

Man, in 198...9, I think, I used to work for the Canadian distributor of Lancome, L'Oreal, and a bunch of other cosmetics companies. Just for a summer. They had a company sale where you were allowed to spend $100 CDN on discounted stuff, and good god, I loaded up. I bought for multiple friends and had bags and bags of makeup and product that lasted me for over a decade.
And I didn't know shit.
What a waste.

Yes, shockingly. They have a good depth of pigment, good coverage, and wear well.

Gggn. I shouldn't have looked at the Manic Panic site. I thought I was over my craving for their over-the-top compact of white pressed powder, but apparently I'm not. Must not hit clicky shopping button!
