Put Eyeshadow in the Freezer

They say to change your eye shadow every six months. I have some favourites I have had for years! Pop your shadows in a sealed bag and pop in the freezer overnight. This will kill off any bacteria and they will be as good as new. I do this about every three months to avoid eye infections.

I totally agree with the comment on freezing kills nothing. It might preserve the product pigments and stuff, but don't expect it to kill bacteria.If you have had any kind of eye infection like pink eye , also called conjunctivitis throw away ANY products you have been using, eye shadow, liner, mascara and also disinfect any brush you have used with alcohol.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but freezing does not kill anything. If that were the case all of our food from the freezer would be sterile. However, putting eye-shadow in the freezer may serve well to preserve the eyeshadow.
