I am a COVID bride and I was due to have my wedding in May 2020. I bought the waterproof version of L’Oreal Lash Paradise mascara for my wedding party in December 2019. I have been talking a lot lately about the duration of storage and just because it hasn’t been opened doesn’t mean it’s still safe to use years later. My marriage was postponed until May 2022. Would the mascara still go well or should I just accept the loss and redemption? Thank you in advance for your help!
I would repurchase considering it’s years later. Likely the product will be flaky and dry and not something you want the party to deal with on your big day.
Use it now and get a new one for the big day 😊 that way you also know if you really like it too
