Christmas Make-Up Presents

[maksiibih]

Girls, I don’t know where to vent, so here we go, I just got back from a Christmas party and the host ( a makeup addict), handed me presents. When I got home I opened my presents and eeekkk, I got Tarte blush set from the 2014 sweet dreams collection and Lorac Riesling Romance palette from 2015!!! Annddd..they looked like they were opened! Gah! What should I do? Can I even use them since it’s been that long?

Considering that she’s a makeup addict, I think she might have bought it at a discount store at a crazy low price. I’ve seen Marshall’s and TJ Maxx sell skincare and beauty products that are 2 and 3 years old. Although those products are sealed, the old packaging is what gives it away as in how old the items are. If you’re uncomfortable using it, I say toss it. Your peace of mind matters more than using a product that you’re uncomfortable using.

@maksiibih I’ve always heard 2 years is how long to keep blush or eyeshadow after it’s been opened. I’m sorry, it sucks to get a used gift, I have an aunt that does that every year.

Thank you for the info! It definitely sucks..and I’m not very fortunate when it come to receiving gifts. On Thanksgiving someone gave me a sephora bag but when I opened it, it was some cheap and unknown palette that aren’t on sale anywhere ☹️

That stinks. Best to be gracious though. If it's unused, I donate the item.
