Quick tip: Know when to ditch your beauty products from Real Simple.

A couple of things I didn't know:
- Nail polish is only supposed to last for a year.
- Perfume will keep for longer when stored in a cool, dark place.
- Liquid eyeliner shouldn't be used for more than 3-4 months.

Yes, the cost of replacing your expired (or just used) makeup can add up quickly, so why not try making it yourself? Check out these recipes...

    Wow 1 year for nail polishes?!?! I've got polishes from 5 years or more in my collection that still polish great. I also invested in nail polish thinner and that keeps my polishes like new. Thanks for the info, great article!
