It's a tale as old as time, so I don't know why I was so surprised, except that the two items in question Kiehl's Concealing Stick for Blemishes and Dior Eyeliner Pencil in Elegant Taupe were neither trendy nor especially unusual; if anything, they were both exceedingly practical. The concealer was the perfect creamy consistency to cover any blemish in any condition, and the eyeliner was a subtle metallic that quietly punctuated all of my favorite brown eyeshadows.
As far as I can tell, these two products are gone, daddy, gone. But like any serious makeup lover, once I discovered I loved them as much as I did, I bought duplicates. However, it's one thing to buy as many as you can get your hands on, quite another to open up a box many moons from now and find the product inside has gone bad.
Plus, you have some control over how fast your products go bad. According to Mattioli, the FDA doesn't actually require beauty-product labels to disclose how long a product will be good for , and most labels only instruct how long to keep a product after it has been opened anyway. Because unregulated beauty labels don't really help us with our hoarding habits, both experts agree it's kind of up to your storage practices and senses to determine how long that untouched, limited-edition palette will last.
To ensure your backup products last as long as possible, both Mattioli and Hume recommend storing your products in a cool, dark place whether that's in a cabinet or even in the fridge. While this will help ingredients from deteriorating as quickly, how long your products will last also depends on what they're made of. So if you're trying to keep a backup or two of your favorite all-natural product, keep in mind that these will have a shorter shelf-life. But how can you tell if a product has turned?
According to both Mattioli and Hume, you should trust your eyes and your nose to decide. An unopened mascara can also expire if not stored properly or it crosses the shelf life of years. If by chance the expiration date is not mentioned then keep in mind that an unopened mascara can last up to years under the condition that it is packed and sealed properly. If you have a natural product that is organic and contains no preservatives then it can expire before you think.
Preservatives make any product last long. They are chemical substances that lack organic or natural makeup products. Hence, their life is not that long. If you find that your mascara has dried even if it was sealed then there is only one possibility and that is that your mascara was not packed properly.
The symbol for that period after opening PAO indicates how many months the product will expire after opening.
Remembering which month, you opened it around is helpful. Once the mascara is opened its shelf life is decreased and it cannot last as long as an unopened one. And if by mistake you leave it opened for a longer period or do not store it properly then you may end up destroying your mascara. The first thing which happens to an expired mascara is that it smells bad. You must be familiar with the original smell of mascara. Any weird kind of smell is a sign of expired mascara.
Secondly, you look for any color changes in the product that might have happened due to oxidation and also because of the expiration of the product.
