If this statistic gives you pause, retrieve of all those lipsticks, mascaras, eyeliners, blast polishes, blushes, and powders sitting in your makeup case ... each of those adds upwards. Even more shocking: On average, women typically only apply five of those 40 products, meaning nosotros let 87% of our collection to go to waste without regular use. Yikes!
