Let's talk about... Makeup Shelf Life

Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?

Credit for MZHANY for the topic that we are going to discuss in this entry. Thanks, laling...*grin*

Uols suka beli beauty products tak? Kalau tak suka beli makeup pun, mesti beli cleanser/moisturiser... or at least lipstick... kan? 

Uols tahu tak every products ada SHELF LIFE? Pasal 'shelf life', ada orang tak tahu, ada orang pernah terperasan words ni. Betul tak? Tapi ramai tak tu pasal ni. Biasa nye, kalau kita tgk barang2 makeup kita cantek, elok lagi, sayang la nak buang. Buang duit. Isshhh tak ke membazir kan?

Tapi uols kena aware pasal ni semua. Kena tahu pasal shelf life ur beauty products. Biler barang dah nak dekat expired.. or even worse DAH pun expired... kena la say BYE BYE. Walaupun.... barang tuh u beli harga beribu setiap satu... kahkahkahkah.... *pitam*

Jom kita usha2...

WHAT IS..... "SHELF LIFE"?

Biasanye Shelf Life ni kita kira from manufacturing date to the date when it is considered no longer suitable for sale/use/consumption. Jangan pulak uols kira from the date uols beli products tu. 

That's y kalau uols pasan, kalau ada warehouse sale for cosmetics mesti dapat murah giler kan? Kalau uols bijak, tgk la manufacturing date. Mesti ada a few months lagi nak expired. Kalau uols beli this year, manufacturing date mesti in 2009 lagi u! Lagi parah kalau kena tipu... tgk2... 2008 lagi. Uwaaaaa.. naya. 

Dulu RedBerry pun tak tahu pasal ni. Since dah blaja pasal makeup, and tahu pasal ni semua, RedBerry akan make sure tgk manufacturing date dulu before beli semua beauty products. Ye la, who knows org2 di luar sana try nak tipu kita kan? At least kita check awal, duit pun tak rugi. kan?

SHELF LIFE FOR BEAUTY PRODUCTS?

Jom kita tgk, shelf life utk products yg ada dlm makeup bag kita itiewwwwwwwwww!!!!

Lipstick - 2 years

Biasa nye ada funny smell. Chemical kat dlm tuh dah expired. Ngeri!

Eyeshadow - 3 years

By the time dah nak masuk 3 years tuh, kaler pun dah start pecah2. Tak cantek.

Mascara - 4 months

lagi la kesian, 4 months jer!!! Biasanye, mascara akan jadi keras, and dah tak function well.

Powder - 2 years

Biasanye kalau bedak, mesti habes. Tapi kalau foundation, rasa nye 2 years pun lum habes kan? So buang.

Foundation - 12 to 18 months

Kalau RedBerry beli ni, rasa nye mmg takkan habes. Mesti kena buang. 

Concealer - 12 months

Concealer lagi la jarang pakai. It's shelf life pulak a year jer? waaahhh... takkan habes.

Cleanser - 1 year

This one definitely la habes. Unless kalau uols tak suka cuci muka? *grin*

Pencil eye liner - 3 years

Pencil eyeliner ni uols kena selalu sharpen dia tau, or else lagi cepat expired.

RedBerry pun type yg sayang nak buang bende2 yg dibeli ni. Ye la, sayang duit. Barang2 tu pulak bukan nye singgit dua. Beratus habes. Tak ke rasa nak pitam, kalau tgk2 byk bende nak kena buang. Tapi kita kena pk jugak, uols... sayang duit ke... sayang diri sendiri? Duit boleh dicari... diri sendiri... satu jer. So kalau dah nampak gaya lipsticks, mascara, foundation tuh dah nyawa2 ikan... buang jer la. Beli lain, makeup pun lagi berkesan. Guna yg dah expired ni, muka jadi tak elok, makeup pun tak menjadi. *grin*

Ramai jugak yg guna jugak, eventho dah tahu 'expired'. Uols boleh la buat camtuh, kalau uols confident takkan jadi apa2. Tapi uols kena bear in mind, let say, ur lipstick tetiba ada funny smell, kaler pun dah tak nampak kaler yg asal, baik buang la, coz chemical reaction dah lain, dah expired. Chemical pun ada expiry date jugak. Misalnye kalau food dah expired, uols nak makan? Tak, kan? sama la ngan alat2 makeup kita, semua tuh chemical, it could harm ur skin (sooner or later)... ngeri!

Ni pun pesanan utk RedBerry jugak.. kadang2 terlupa and trasa sayang sgt products yg mahal nak dibuang.

Sharing is caring.. rite? Jom kita buat housekeeping! (it's time nak pegi shopping products yg baruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... hahahahahah)

Hopefully, entry ni dapat membantu uols.

Ok la. See ya in my next entry!

Till then... a bientot! Stay gorgeous!
