Nail Lacquer—What's the Shelf Life?


No one really knows what is the shelf life of nailpolish. You don't see any expiration dates on the bottom of nail polishes or anything. How do I know if my nail polish is expired?

Texture

You can tell right away if the nail polish is expired thru its texture. 
It will feel thick, clumpy and difficult to apply

How to preserve your nail polish

Your nail polish should last as long as you store it properly. Store it away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dark setting. Heat and light can cause some reactions that may degrade or cause the breakdown of the nail polish's formula.

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub

Who doesn't love lush? Their products are pretty awesome! And they always smell so good, which is something i can definitely say about this. It doesn't really smell like popcorn, it just has this really sweet smell to it. I can't quite put my finger on it. On the label, it says that it has coconut oil, jojoba oil and a bunch of others. It makes my lips sweet and it smells amazing.

For future, I would rather make my own Lip Scrub however if you want to spoil yourself then this is the product to go to!







Bite Beauty Cassis Luminous Crème Lipstick

This is the first time I buy a product from this specific brand. Their products are all about natural and food grade material ( supposedly healthy enough to eat, but dont! haha). The texture is super creamy which i love so much. It is thick, however the color payoff is just amazing.

The color is described as aubergine, which is french for eggplant. So this is supposed to look more towards purple.



Luminous Crème Lipstick 
The exceptionally smooth lipstick in a pallette of 21 alluring shades made from creamy organic fruit butters and antioxidant-rich Resveratrol to fight free radicals and help reduce the appearance of fine lines.



Verdict:
Love the color payoff. It's creamy, hydrating and makes me lips feel soft. You won't need to use lipbalm before using this lipstick.
