This is one that sounds obvious. We’re all aware that before opening, glue has a shelf life of 6 months from the date on the bottom of the bottle. This is the glue’s DOP - the date of production - it also doubles up as the batch number, so if you ever need to contact us about your glue, we’ll ask about this so that we know which batch the glue was from! 

Now, we order a fresh batch of glue every 2 months at most, so that when it gets to you, you’ve got plenty of time to get the most out of it. We also go to great lengths to ensure that the glues are kept away from moisture and are temperature controlled - you all deserve the very best! Once the glue gets to you though, how can you ensure it stays perfect?

·After opening, your glue has a shelf life of up to 2 months. It can be difficult to keep track of this, especially in a busy salon or even just going from one client to the next - days merge into weeks, weeks into months and suddenly your glue is gloopy - but when did you open it? To make keeping track of this easy peasy, take a small piece of your tape and write the date on it. Stick it to the bottom of your glue and hey presto! Your very own reminder that 6 weeks from that date, it’s a pretty good time to start thinking about ordering a new bottle! 

·Only buy what you can use in, say, 4 months. It’s never going to be good opening a bottle of glue to find that it’s gone gloppy because you bulk bought 10 in a sale and then it sat in the back of a drawer for 8 months. The money you saved on the glue will either be spent on more glue to replace those bottles, or it’ll go towards infilling your clients’ lashes for free. It’s harsh, but it’s the truth!
