BC (Before Covid LOL) 'expiration' was never a concern for me. Between 5 days in office and socializing on weekends, things got used and replenished regularly. Then.....the pandemic hit.....that dragged on...and on....and on..... :( A lot of things just didn't get used, hence never finished and one day I realized how much stuff I had that was purchased BC and was expired!!!! So I did a MAJOR purge and had to toss so much stuff in the bin! Sad - but necessary. I'm usually more forgiving with dry/powder based stuff than I am with creams/liquids.
Omgosh! I have not cleaned by brushes in months! I cleaned every one of them today. It was disgusting! No wonder all my foundations flaked!! I know better now. Thanks for reminding me!!
You know if you think about it, it’s crazy how much we pay for mascara if we have to cycle them out every 3 months. Guess I’ll only be buying minis from now on.

Isn’t it crazy how life has changed so much since then?! Very true about the expiration dates being more of an issue after then..
Yes we needed this. I started to put expired dates labels on my makeup to help me remember
