How Gross Am I? Or: How Long Do You Keep Makeup?

I admit that I don't follow the usual rules when it comes to discarding makeup. I tend to keep things much longer than the guidelines advise. I'm semi-convinced that most of these rules are part of a conspiracy by cosmetic companies to get you to keep buying unnecessary replacement products. I was also raised by a woman who has salad dressing from 2009 in her fridge and tries to tell me, "There's nothing wrong with it! Smell it!" So.

Where do you find affordable jewelry?

I just bought a bunch of stuff from Forever 21, because it’s pretty and shit-cheap, but they are kind of a gross company, so I would love other suggestions. (But for real, they are doing some really nice trendy, vintage-looking rhinestone stuff right now.)

If you’re going to say etsy, please suggest particular sellers!

I like beadycats. 

Bauble Bar (referral link) also has decent things sometimes.

And if you like little sparkly shit, this site has “free” jewelry. You pay $7 shipping, but it is nice. I have a ring and a pendant from here that I wear regularly.
