What do you do with makeup/skincare you don't use?
36 posts, 26 members
On this lazy Sunday I'm wondering, what do you do with makeup/skincare you don't use? I'm sure there must be at least a few of us who have purchased things, used them once, and decided that although it's a good product, it's just not for you. I have far too much skincare, a mish mash of all different brands and I have decided to have a skincare overhaul and stick to pretty much one brand. Unfortunatly, most of my skincare items are almost full, and cost at least $40 each. I used to give products away via Facebook, and occasionally I would sell a few items on there, but I no longer have Facebook. I also give a lot away to family and friends, but I have just off loaded a whole lot already. What do you do with your extra beauty products? Do you sell them? Give them away? Or let them sit at the bottom of your draw? I'm talking about things that don't pose hygience issues, like face masks in tubes rather than mascaras.
I give heaps away. I went through a big clear out of makeup and sold heaps of trademe. I made hundreds!
I also ROAK heaps especially stuff not opened. Even when I was selling on TM I added in heaps of extras for everyone. I have located a couple of addresses of some BR babe's I wanna send a wee something to. I try and figure out what things they like and hope it's a match

I have sold a few things in the past on facebook, but sometimes that just seems like too much effort (to put on the page, and post etc). So most of the time when I can I give to friends or as RAOK. It is nice to know someone else can put it to use.
I am working on getting a more streamlined makeup collection still. It is hard when you love trying new things though.

I give them to my niece. She's 14 and I think she's actually more obsessed with makeup than I am! She REALLY wants me to do a NYX order so she can piggy-back and get a mini haul herself.
It's quite handy though, her skin tone is a wee bit lighter than mine but prefers wearing darker foundations so basically anything I get that doesn't match me still somehow manages to look fantastic on her!

I don't have any products I don't use or plan to use at a later date if I run out and have a lack of funds. Also I only have one makeup bag full of products so intend to use what I have.
Unless I find another organic/certified natural cosmetic company that I like. At the moment I'm exploring the Living Nature products and loving them :)

Alikat I state in mine that auction to be paid for and communication within however many days. I state it loud and clear. I've only had bad experiences with people that bid and have lots of bad feedback so I don't hang around waiting to hear from them. I place bad feedback as well. The more info in the auction the better I reckon
If it's used I throw away. If it's brand new I will give to someone as a RAOK. I used to sell things on FB but left that group so don't bother anymore. Sometimes if I am sent something to try and I don't like it after a swatch and I know someone who wants it I'll ask if they want it first as I've used it.
I end up giving a tonne away to friends and family and RAOKs, I've sold a few bits and pieces on FB but I'm generally too lazy to bother doing that very often, so I'll just gift em. I always have a stash of products I'm not going to use and will send them to people as I see fit. I'll have to sell a few high end products on FB shortly though as I need to recoup some of the cost, and seeing as they're not available in NZ they generally sell pretty quickly :)
Ladies, does NZ have a similar charity to http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-15/beauty-bank-charity-gives-unwanted-toiletries-to-women-in-need/5811888#main_content
The reason for my enquiry? In order that I can exchange my points for products that can then be donated. If I can collect a whole heap of points before Christmas 2015 it would be a great way to use them don't you think?

I know that 100 points = 10 Vault Dollars, but even if the donations were say, 100 points = $5 donation, that would be something I'd still support. I realise that BR probably has agreements or something commercially sensitive with companies, and LGFB is well supported by the likes of Revlon - but I think this could be worth investigating further!
OVER TO YOU MAGICAL BR FAIRIES!

I have so much stuff that I just don't use. I was going through my dresser drawers the other day looking for a key & found a heap of mini eyeshadow pallettes & eyeliners among other stuff. Half of it I threw away as it was too messy, 1 Lip stick I have started wearing (it's funny as when I got that I hated the colour but love it now) and I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest...
I don't think any of it is worth selling...
