Okay ladies, if you are like me, you have a stock pile of makeup that you find very difficult to part with. Let's face it, makeup is expensive. You want to scrape every last drip out of that lip gloss tube. Either that, or you have your favorite "shade" and you have used it so long that by the time you do think about replacing it, the manufacturer has moved on to something new.

Frustrating I know. But perhaps the makeup companies are on to something. The out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new approach may just be the reason to give your makeup collection a routine face-lift, for a couple of good reasons. And here is what they are: good organizing habits, and good health.
