Over the course of 2015 we've be introduced to some strange and life-changing beauty trends, especially when it came to contouring. We've had Clown Contouring, Pointillism, Overlining (thank you 'King Kylie') and finally, the one that killed off contouring all together; Strobing.

We know what you're thinking - 'cos we're definitely thinking it too - soo many Christmas present bargains!
Do you know when all of your makeup and skincare products expire? No? Did you even know that makeup products can expire? No?! The Cosmo Beauty team were split, some knew, some didn't and some found out the hard way - because using past-it products can be just as bad as eating gone-off food.
Girls, if you're anything like us, you'll CONSTANTLY be shopping for your next summer/winter perfume and the most exciting thing about going on holiday is seeing your favourite fragrance discounted in the duty free shop.
