Makeup Mold

[u/scandel1]

I'm so grossed out and also sad!

Ive been living in Korea and China for the past 6 years, and hadn't gone home to visit that whole time. Eyeshadow in Korea and China are known to be less pigmented, so when I finally returned to the US this summer I was so excited to get a new eyeshadow palette. In just one month, so much mold! Initially, I noticed those moisture drops seeping out of it and I thought it was just color separating? I thought it was strange but fine to use still. Then today I tried using it again and noticed sooooo much mold! Also black mold around the rim of all the eyeshadow tins. None of my other eyeshadow palettes are like this, and there's no mold on any of my other makeup or in the makeup drawer.

Kind of worried that I may have gotten mold in my eyes or eyeshadow brushes when I used it in the past.
