The beginning of the year is a great time to take out the old and bring in the new beauty items you carry with you everyday. Cleaning out your make-up bag is the perfect time to update your make-up and keep germs away. The most used product in your bag is most likely a pressed powder compact. If a crust has developed on top it is oil from your face that has been transfered to the powder when not in use. You can scrape it off with an old tooth brush and replace the puff. To prevent this in the future, keep the cellophane circle the compact comes with as long as you can to separate the puff from the powder. If you buy a new compact, get one that has a separate compartment for the puff, such as L'Oreal true match compact. To help keep make-up fresh and germs at bay keep this in mind:Powdered products, such as powder, eye shadows and blush have a life of about 3 years.Liquids and concealer around 2 years.Eye pencils 6 months.Mascara 3 months. If your lip stick or gloss smells like an old crayon, throw it away.
Costco loser in liquor ruling
Costco Wholesale will have to live with Washington state's system for regulating beer and wine sales, at least for now. A federal appeals-court panel in San Francisco upheld key parts of the system Tuesday, largely overturning an earlier victory by Costco in its four-year legal battle with Washington's Liquor Control Board. Issaquah-based Costco, which operates two dozen warehouse-club stores in the state, sued the board in February 2004, arguing the system was anti-competitive and violated a federal law designed to limit monopolies. The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the liquor board can ban distributors from offering high-volume discounts and variations in prices to different retailers. It also upheld rules requiring distributors to make deliveries to each store rather than a retailer's central warehouse.
