The dates vary on articles, but check here: ivillage.co.uk

  • mascara= 3-6 months
  • eye liner= 2 years
  • blush= powder blush (two years); cream blush (12-18 months)
  • lipstick= 2 years

It depends on a lot of factors: what product you use (natural type or not), conditions kept in (warm climate, purse in a hot car, etc). I have read many times that mascara is the worst culprit and should be changed every 3-6 months and not to pump the container and of course not to put water or anything in to "get the last bit out" and no sharing cosmetics or brushes/applicators.

When you pump mascara it pumps air into the tube which will make it go bad faster and also will dry it out.

I purchased Physicians Formula Super BB cream yesterday, and Im uncertain of the expiration date. EXP220C is printed on the back of the box, does this mean it expires Feb 2020?
