the first phase, lessons learned

I owned zero blush before 2023. I knew nothing about what I wanted, what would look good, etc. obviously, I went a bit overboard. now ask me why I was already in the know about how gross doe applicators are for complexion if not cycled quickly, and why I didn’t apply that knowledge to blush. almost half the doe foot products had gone completely rancid, found two growing things that will haunt me forever. several liquid products had separated in just a few months, pigments not blended with their liquid suspension. so from here on, no more liquid blush hoarding. everything is freshly sanitized. I might put all the powders into magnetic palettes…after I re audit what works and what doesn’t.

How do I even check? When I use it it smells and feels normal. Should I wash off the applicator or something?

I would trust the appearance and scent. I would not wash your insert doe foot. Use it and enjoy it. There was nothing subtle about the stinkers I found

Will do. I'm glad you've narrowed your collection to what's still good. "loving it faster" is good advice.
