If your makeup collection is the size of a small country, how do keep track of which products are past their prime? Do you keep a spreadsheet or do you rely on memory to help you purge your stash?
If either of these methods sound less than appealing, how about Beauty Alert! stickers? Featured in the June 2009 issue of Marie Claire, these nifty labels help to remind you that "beauty is timeless...beauty products are not!"
I tried the spreadsheet method months ago but it fell through. Nowadays, I can usually remember when I bought a product and then I just ditch accordingly. I even created labels to stick on my skincare and beauty products but these are too cute!
They're very easy to use: just peel off the sticker from the sheet corresponding to the product's life. The guidelines for product life are listed on each sticker sheet. Apply sticker directly to item. For best results, adhere to clean, dry surface on an area where product is not frequently handled. Use a permanent marker to write in the date of first use. Discard the item once it has expired.
Beauty Alert! packages 24 specially-designed stickers, 6 stickers for each of 4 categories of product life. Stickers feature optimum adherence and durability. For $8.50, you could easily take the DIY method and create homemade Beauty Alert! labels. What do you think?
I have to get some of these!
