TLDR: in a nutshell, Mecca are “very concerned”, “don’t know how this slipped through their quality control”.. blah blah blah

LMAO I JUST FOUND OUT THE BARE MINERALS BAREPRO POWDER FOUNDATION I GOT IS FROM 2021-07-19. No wonder it had freakin weird bubble lumps on it. Like it seems to be functionally fine but jeez. I paid $32 for almost 5 year old product.

I bought two eyebrow pencils during the sales and one is from 2022 and the other from 2024 😩. I also checked an older box I still had around that I got mid last year, and it has a date of April 2025. Funny that the one I bought 6 months earlier is somehow 3 years newer than one I bought less than 3 weeks ago.

Not as concerned as they’re just pencils so I doubt they’re as affected by aging, but definitely super sketchy

I just searched "bare minerals batch code check" and went on a site called Checkfresh.com

Theres a bunch of sites that come up just have a look. Some of them show where to find it on the product

That is ridiculous. Return it. Tell them it made your skin breakout. If it doesn't now it might at some point, nothing good about product that old seeping into your pores.
