This. I saw an article once (written by somebody with their own line of cosmetics, natch) saying that you should throw away any unused eyeshadow six weeks after buying it. Please. That shit lasts and lasts. Especially if you keep it stored somewhere dry, dark and room temperature (like a drawer). Plus there are products you can buy to restore liquid make-up if it starts separating. I've only used nail polish restores, but I have a friend who swears by the make-up restoration stuff for her foundations.

I've seen those articles, I think one mentioned throwing out BRUSHES after, I dunno, six months. I mean... brushes! What part of a brush expires after six month? The hair, the glue, the plastic/wooden handle? -_____- I think either the people writing those articles are really bored, smoking something good or they're paid to cause paranoia and make us rebuy things without even finishing our old stuff.

Yeah, I reckon it's the latter. Buy more products!!! Which is stupid, especially for brushes. I mean, you can buy brush cleaner, so it's not like they're unsanitary. Just keep 'em clean, don't share eyebrushes with other people, store them somewhere dry, they'll be fine. Like you say, it's not like they'll fall apart after six months - if they do, that just means they're poorly made.

Every Christmas for the past twenty or so years, my Aunt has gotten makeup brushes (expensive ones) as one of her presents. As soon as she does, she throws away the old ones, and when I asked her once she said that eventually there is wear and tear on it, as there is with everything. It wasn't in a six month period (which I think is pretty unreasonable, and she probably would too), but in 12 months.

I can understand throwing out eyeshadow makeup in a certain period too. Eventually the brush you use for your eye makeup might get some germs on it, such as conjunctivitis or something. Maybe that's why it should be thrown out, if you consider it something like a toothbrush.

Then again, I'm not one to be wearing makeup, so that entire world is a mystery to me. When I was 'goth' in highschool, the occasional bit of black lipstick, and nail polish would get passed around my few friends... and I've watched my mom and sister and my aunt put on makeup, but that world pretty much eludes me to this day.

Collection though... can understand entirely.
My other aunt and uncle from Italy brought my sister this makeup set that was modeled as candies (they got me one too, so I didn't feel left out... I still have mine, and now I think it was bit of a gag from them). ^_^'

They're just trying to make more money off the people who believe that. It lasts, but I'd just about bet anything that person's makeup line wasn't exactly cheap. XD
