Are you purging like you should?

So as I'm packing up my apartment, I'm also purging.  The dust...oh God the dust has triggered my allergies.  Anyway, I did something many of us are guilty of not doing.  I purged my makeup collection.

We all keep makeup for way longer than we should.  I'm pretty good with mascara and eyeliner because I use it so much I usually run out or I notice it smells funny.  But I admit I had eyeshadow that was several years old.  Some of the colors aren't even made anymore. **hides face in shame**

So to help myself and to help some of you, here's a timeline of when you should be purging makeup.

Review: Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey

Okay I read it. 

Most of it was stuff I already have in my regimen.  I've been doing my own hair since I was about 12 so I have an idea how to deal with curls.  I'm still resistant to the idea of co-washing as Lorraine Massey suggests.  I've tried it before but my hair just doesn't feel clean.  I sweat in my scalp and I just feel like my hair is greasy doing only co-washing.    There are some interesting recipes for conditioners and hair treatments so I don't feel the book was a total waste but I may wind up adding this to April's swap list.

I hear on different hair boards that Organix makes a great shampoo and conditioner.
