Shengmei:

That's the only way I do makeup. Clinique Bonus Time. It costs me about $24 dollars once every two years - a buck a month. I buy one item and get the bonus. Since I don't wear much make-up, a little can last a long time for me. In particular lip liners with a blunted tip make nice long lasting color on my lips, and those suckers just keep on truckin'.

I know I break the rules of tossing makeup every six months; I do have lipsticks that are years old. I promise I won't recommend it as long as I get to keep doing it.

(As a child I got my mother's left over unwanted Clinique bonus items. I guess there's some nostalgia in there.)
