My mascara lasts me more than 3 months although beauticians have told me to throw away after that time!

Good question! I can't fathom throwing all the makeup away every three months! Or is this just for mascara?

Mascara I toss after three months and everything else I watch out for separation and smell. If it separates and/or smells I throw out.
