Give them away as gifts or sell them on ebay/amazon. Or even host a blog sale! You wont get your full money back but that's better than nothing. :) Just make sure that you state the colour/shade that you have.

Yeah, sell them on eBay, do a makeup swap (maybe you'll get something you want to try in exchange), ask around and see if there's a non-profit that will take them off your hands (a high school girls group, a battered womens shelter/org, something like that), give them to your friends if they're the right shade...

I always give my stuff away to friends and family and the rest of the stuff I usually hang on to just in case I run across someone who maybe interested in the stuff. But as the rest of the ladies stated you can sell the stuff on ebay, have blog sale if you have a blog, swap and if you have a youtube channel host a sale on there.

Sell on Ebay!! or like others have said, swaps would also be a good idea.
Just wondering, why CAN'T you use them?

Take them back to Sephora if they are sold at Sephora, they will give you store credit and you only need the products & your drivers license (:

There are many women's shelters or domestic violence support groups that take donations of makeup and clothing to help facilitate career searching and building up their self-esteem. I def. recommend that route if you're interested in donating to a good cause. =D

I would either give it away or i u are a aspiring artist like myself use it in your kit by itself on your client or to mix with another product

I work for BB and had the same question a few weeks. We get pretty good gratis every season so I have way more BB makeup than I can use. There's really no great website currently. That's why I'm building GratisJunkie.com.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to trade some YSL, Nars, or Smashbox for Bobbi Brown, email me at gratisjunkie@gmail.com
