Unused products

[Becky_da_da_da]

I am at a stage where I'm still looking for moisturisers and things which suit my skin, so I'm looking around a lot and trying new stuff.

Though, after a few weeks, if I find out a certain product isn't for me, I don't like to use it (I have slight acne, so it can cause chaos!)

This means I end up with half used bottles of cream and such and I was just wondering what you guys do if you're in the same situation.

I always feel bad, if I've spent £20 on a bottle and don't use half of it... so does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do?

Thanks

I have never done it, but it sounds like a great idea to me...

For the most part I pawn things off on my friends or my mom

Or is it possible to get free samples from the counters first?
Then if it doesn't work out, you won't really have much product left to worry about....

Yeah, but samples are a bit too small for me to really see if they suit my skin or not...


Oh, that forum sounds great - I'll definately check it out

Perhaps you could donate them to a battered women's shelter (they’re always needing products)? I don't know if they take used products but it might be worth a try

When shopping and lunching, someone left their shopping bag under my table and never came back for it. It had $90 of Lancome products and moisterizers in it. I won't be using it. I'll have to figure out what to do with it.

^ I'll take any little bit of $$ for em. I have Lancome Aqua Fusion 1.7 oz, and Estee Lauder Daily Protection Essentials. The reciept totalyed $90. All unused.

I was going to attempt to put them on that makeup swap page to try to trade for Chanel nail polish or something.

Mmm..., don't be tempted to buy branded lotion/cream. If you always trying many creams, you should know which ingredients suit your skin. Lets say your skin is sensitive, so you have to try from pharmacist line, or Dr houschka lotion, if you safe in organic line. I know it's difficult to find the best for our body, but never too late to notice and analyse what kind of cream is good.
