Ew!

So I was watching the Today show, and learned something about beauty product shelf life. I always knew about changing out mascara every couple of months, but the same is true for lipstick! The reporter said that you should throw out lipstick after about a year...uh, yeah I've got lipstick that I've had for over 4 years. Now, I don't burn through lipstick, so I'm not just going to dump my lipstick drawer. The way you can tell if it really is bad is to smell it. If it smells "rancid" (and I quote..ew) then toss it. I'm about to go sniff some lipsticks. :)
