No more germy gloss

Fact: Much like food, your beauty products have an expiration date. Once you pop open that gloss, the preservatives start to deteriorate, which, after 9 months, means that shiny lippy is now a festering pot of germs and bacteria. Most people forget or can’t keep track of when they opened their products. Enter Cargo’s new glosses, which feature Timestrip Technology, an indicator strip that you pop into the top of the gloss on the day you open it. It will gradually count down the days in bright red ink, telling you when it’s time to throw the gloss away. The paraben-free gloss is available in eight pretty shades, so your lips not only stay bacteria-free and healthy, they look fab too. Price: $22 Where to buy: sephora.com
