If you think you can save money by using old cosmetic products, think again. Instead of fattening the check book, you might end up giving up more money for skin treatments. So when do you know if you need to say goodbye to your beauty buddies? Simple. Powder-based products should last from two to three years. Face products are okay from one to two years. Eye cosmetics live the shortest � only about four to six months. If moist products such as mascara become dry, discard. If you�re using organic or natural cosmetics, ask about the shelf-life. They store for a much shorter time than their counter parts.

Live in the tropics where global warming has resulted in even hotter temperatures? Consider reserving a space for your pricey make-up in the fridge to save them from meltdown. Stuff like lipstick, eyeliners and other expensive makeup have some waxes and gelling agents that may melt thus lessening their usability. Organics or make-up with natural ingredients normally have no preservatives mixed in so they can indeed spoil and go rancid on you. Some oils degrade in warm weather and so on and so forth, keep them way out of reach of your toddler though, for their normally catchy colors and attractive shapes make them magnets for curious kids.
Keep them on a high shelf in a corner they can’t normally reach(not the freezer for any moisture within them will cause ice formation ruining it forever). A small office fridge or water chiller that has a cool compartment (not a freezer) is nice, kept inside the bedroom, it keeps makeup always within reach and your favorite snacks too!

After years of neutral chic, this autumn screams sophistication with a capital S, with strong shades of pink, gold, grey, black, plum and red, and sophisticated beauty mixed with a rock’n'roll feel.
Dark, captivating and mysterious, black is this season’s colour.

Smoky eyes combined with a flawless complexion and shiny lips create a sophisticated rock look.
Dramatic black is powerfully glam, and though easy to use it does precise application and some carefully chosen shades of grey to soften it. Bring out your dark side!

This year, the focus is on darker shades of red than classic lippy shades: aubergine, cherry, crimson and copper, and at the other end of the colour spectrum, candy pink is also in.

Textures are swinging between ulta matte and super shiny. The only rule is whichever you go for, don’t do it by halves! And make sure your application technique is up to scratch as these bold colours don’t leave much room for error…
