 Not sure when to toss some of your cosmetics?   Your not going to find expiration dates on most products so its up to you to keep track of when to let it go.   Cosmetics have 2 phases of life,   "Shelf life" when it has to be sold in stores and "open date" which is the day you open the product.   Mascara is the quickest to expire at 3 months and eyeliners and lipstick just a year.   "All natural" products have shorter  shelf lives due to little or no preservatives and natural ingredients.    Something to think about next time you are loading up on new products.  Make sure you actually need the product and that you will be able to use before it expires.
