There’s this rule of powder lasting longer than anything else even after it’s shelf life had ended. I think it depends on each individual. I try not to open up too many new product to use to prevent all this expiry issue. All my skin care finishes in 3-4 months on daily use so I don’t or have ever used anything past their shelf life.
You can repaint your Alex drawer when it turns color. It will turn slightly yellowish because my Ikea table which is also white had turned yellow.

tempted but hehe .. i don’t have that many skincare/ makeup like you (still salivating over your many things). I am a bit paranoid about the products shelf-life, so i tend to limit them. There was a time when i was into blushers but after using them for 2years, i felt sad having to throw it out. Some bloggers still use them as long as it doesnt smell or look different, but since i am acne-prone, i dont want to risk it. do you still use past their shelf-life?

your drawer top looks pretty with the Ikea mat. i will most probably do mine too and whats worst is my Alex drawer is white .. sure will turn color if i dont take care. I thought of washing the mat in my shower too hehe.

When I see other people’s beauty organizer, I was tempted to change everything but then it’s not easy and it’s also not cost effective so I only change what is needed. I usually clean the Ikea drawer mat by rinsing under running tap water in the bathroom. On weekly basis I use wet tissue. It does attract dust like every other stuff so it’s normal. The dots is just slightly raised up so it’s alright.

such a pretty organizer… very tempting.
i just bought a drawer and was wondering if i should put the Ikea’s drawer mat on top of it for protection, just like you did. i see your rotating organizer sitting on top of it, is the mat tedious to clean? does the mat attract alot of dust? there’s loads of dots on the mat, so it might be a pain to clean, is it?
