NEW MAKEUP SMELLS FUNNY?
QUESTION:
I ran out of my favorite lip gloss and bought a replacement on the Internet from a private party. When it arrived, I could tell that the package had never been opened or used before, but when I opened it, it smelled "funny." Is it okay to use it?
ASK LIFESTYLE RESPONDS:
Always go with your gut instinct. If it smells funny to you, honor that sense and ask for a replacement. If it was a private party, that hostess has most likely received credit for your purchase and she can contact the seller to obtain a fresher product for you. As a consumer, this provides a good lesson in buying anything from anywhere - know the guarantees and return policy - caveat emptor! Good luck! - Helen Harlow

I've started applying a name-brand cream foundation that I purchased at a department store cosmetic counter. I usually apply it around 6:30 in the morning. However it starts to dry out and flake on my face by the time lunchtime rolls around. Does foundation only last for a little while - or am I applying it wrong? more
