Do you buy everything new from A to Z?

All new cleanser, moisturizer, foundation, eye shadows......

I would imagine that lipsticks everyone would buy brand new, though.

What do different Rabbonim say about it?

I buy new lipstick. I skim thru the ingredients, make sure nothing from chamisa minay dagan.. oats. that kind of thing. I dont go nuts.

I used to avoid listick rather than getting new, but honestly, it doesn't come into contact with any choemtz!

I usually buy new gloss 2x a year, so I make sure that the cycle starts on Pesach. I just bought a new tube last week, and I'm almost out of my old gloss.

funny u should ask...just came back from sephora...went a little crazy, spent waaaay too much, but I got 3 new lip glosses, figured while I'm there I might as well get a new blush, and eyeshadow, and my eyeliner was running out anyway... Embarassed

Anyways, I'm out $145, DH will NOT be happy.

I buy a new lipstick, and I check to make sure my other products are ok/don't contain chometz

I put them away with the pesach things from year to year and only have to buy new once in a while.

I heard that anythign that touches your face must be new, including moisturizers, eye shadows, lipstick, masc...

so what I do each yr is buy a whole new set of everything I need, and like someone mentioned earlier, the cycle begins on Pesach adn I have to replenish somewhere along the way...

Here in Eretz Yisroel there's a famous "kashrus" Rabbi called Rabbi Yosef Zaritzky---he checks everything out and knows almost everything about products and ingredients. He says cosmetics need to be cleaned for pessach and may be used, because there is no inyan of chometz in cosmetics, cleaning products, degertents etc.
