- If I can scrape the mold off of cheese
and still safely eat it, I think I can still use
my makeup a couple months after it's expired.
(upbeat music)
- Today, I'm finding out if I'm using expired makeup.
I am.
- I do know makeup expires,
but makeup's also so expensive, y'all.
- For some reason, I just think makeup
is just so magical that it doesn't expire.
- I still don't wanna throw it away.
It's a piece of me.
- I believe over half my makeup
products that I use are expired.
(laughs)
- I think a handful of my products are expired.
It's probably the reason why I've been getting
so much acne is that I never change any of my makeup out.
- Is it filled with bacteria and germs?
I just realized how scary this could be.
Now I'm freaked out.
- Carry on.
We're gonna do this, let's do it.
- This is so gross that a nice little hair on it.
This has gotta be like a year and a half old.
- Maybe a month and a half ago.
- I got this in November.
(fun upbeat music)
(ding)
Hell yeah, this is still good.
(ding) - What?
(ding) - Nice.
The pump got me, it saved me.
Somethin' about this whole deal with
the trapped air makes me think that this
has less of a lifespan than the foundation.
It's about six months ago.
- I've had this Erase Paste by Benefit for two years.
(fun upbeat music)
(ding) - Thank God.
(buzz) - Well, goddammit.
I should've gotten rid of that like months ago.
- [Jazzmyne] Blush, blush, blush.
Maybe about three months ago.
- Maybe like a year, a year and a half.
(upbeat music)
(ding)
- Blush for a year.
This is perfect.
(ding) - Yes.
I replace my mascara a lot because it gets really clumpy.
This is maybe about two months old.
- I know this one I've had for a year and a half.
This one I've had for six months and this one I just bought.
(upbeat music)
(ding)
- Yes, I knew it.
Open it, three months, throw that shit away.
(buzz)
- I'm surprised my eyelashes haven't fallen off.
Oh, I feel so dirty.
I've had this for definitely
a year and a half, maybe two years.
- I probably got this a year ago.
(upbeat music)
(buzz)
I'm not throwin' this shit away.
(buzz)
- Yeah, it doesn't do its thing anymore.
It's not pigmented.
It smells a little bit.
(upbeat music)
- I probably got this two months ago.
- I think this has been in my bag for
maybe a year and a half, two years.
(upbeat music)
(ding)
- I feel like you use it before it's expired.
(buzz)
- No, I've had this a year and a half too long.
(laughs)
(fun upbeat music)
- I probably got this close to six months ago.
- I wanna say a year.
(fun upbeat music)
(buzz) - Says who?
Depending on use?
Ooh, that might be way past the expiration date.
(laughs)
(buzz)
- I can't keep buyin' lipsticks every few months.
- It makes sense that if we're gonna be so hypervigilant
about expiration dates when it comes to our food,
we definitely should when it comes to our skin products.
- I bet my skin would be a lot clearer had I
paid attention to the expiration dates.
- I know that my makeup
is probably expired.
But no, you should really throw
that shit away, including this.
- It's good to know that my actual makeup-makeup
hasn't expired, so I don't have to like buy new shit.
But the rest of it, at least, I don't have
to like go out and buy a whole new set of makeup.
- If I see a little number with this little jar
opening symbol, that's the number of months
it can live after it's opened.
I feel like this is like a mom thing to teach.
Like darling, don't use past this date.
