Soo a lot of people (mostly family) are constantly warning me not to buy so much makeup because I have a lot of dulplicates (like exactly the same things but from another brand) , I just can't resist the charm of makeup. Butt they are right, I do own a lot of makeup and other beauty products. Most of it I don't even use... What should I do with them? It's mostly mascara's that turned out to be awful, bronzers that are way too orange, hair serums that have a really professional look but they smell horrible, makeup removers that break me out and deodorants I bought in a hurry and turned out to smell horrible. Any ideas on what to do with these products? I've tried giving some things to my sister but she also has a lot of things...
Help please 💕
(If I get rid of them, I have an excuse to buy more :) )

If they're high end, and gently used, you can try selling them to glambot. I haven't used it so I'm not exactly sure of the requirements, but they buy gently used/returned cosmetics, sanitize them, and then sell them at a discounted rate.

Give them away to friends! I just cleaned out my makeup - and the things that are nice and not very used I'm giving to my mom in a gift basket with other beauty products!

I give makeup I don't use anymore or don't like to friends - with the exception of mascara and eyeliner.

Yasss I agree!! Like Riff and Sanbrina said give them to a friend, or like Kailey said give them to your mother or any family! You can also donate them to a local care center (if they are still in good condition and gently used) but I am sure that all of your extra beauty products will be able to find a good home with somebody who loves uses them quite frequently!!

I agree with the ladies comments above. I have a suggestion for the bronzer that was too orange on your face, use it as an eyeshadow if it's pressed or if it's a fine loose powder you could mix some into your favorite lotion to give yourself a little body glow. And for the mascaras that were bad, if it was just a bad formula but had a nice brush, you could wash the brush and use it as a spoolie.
