In theory, the powders dont have a shelf life- as karen said, nothing bad happens to silk as is breaks down so i don't worry about the powders and probably never will. I don't get them wet in the jar.Die Marchen wrote:One question - what about shelf life? How do you deal with it?
Lippies...If the oil seems "off" and it can be replaced, i toss it and replace it- though honestly some of my lippies are pretty old. The ones that are more for "collecting" purposes get kept though i do cut the tops off periodically. Honestly- i still use my platinum red and it's probably 3 years old and i haven't noticed anything off or expired about it. Does it mean i should? probably not, but i haven't seen any harm from it.
Skincare and any lipbalm that has gone off get tossed when they don't smell right or change color, i tossed quite a few solid perfumes at some point- i don't know that i have any lipbalms old enough to go off actually. i go through a tube each of burt's bees lipbalm, a flavored SN balm, and a peppermint black label every other month.
