Does anyone stick to these? Especially the polish one. Most of my polishes are about 6 years old.

Never ever.
I reckon polish can always be restored.
I am not overly concerned about bacteria levels, the human mouth is dirtier than a toilet so wont let it bother me.

Yep, they just want you to throw out your old bacteria laden decomposing cosmetics and buy new sparkly spangly ones. From them.
I'm quite happy with the bacteria thanks!
I do find it a bit odd sometimes that some discount cosmetic sites and eBay have make up for sale from brands that were discontinued in the 90s (such as Olay make up!). I also bought some shampooey hair colour stuff in Savers last month that was so old that the telephone code for their helpline had no '1'. Eg Dover used to be 0304....... and is now 01304 - not sure when the 1 was introduced but it wasn't in this decade!

Nah never ever! X

I am aware of the labels, and the only thing I stick to it on is sunscreen. Everything else I use until its unuseable.

What happened in years ago when they didn't have labels on? ppls used their common sense.

Errr....nope! I've got OPI's which I've had 10 years and over and I still use them! And as I hardly ever wear make up ,That's all donkey's years old too

Yeah me too I forgot about that. Must be all this gloomy weather! X

Hahaha that's funny! Good way to get people to spend more money I suppose!

Ha, ha - are we related?!? I've still got some polish I've had since I was a teenager - let's just say I'm the wrong side of 30 now!

But have you seen how much the old OPI's go for on Ebay?! No way am I chucking out my retirement fund !

I've often wondered what that meant lol. I have an opi from 10 or so years ago - still applies like a dream.

No way! I've still got urban decay pallettes & polishes from many years ago and they're still in great condition.
