Re-use or Re-home?

I do the same thing almost everyday when I'm putting my makeup on and that is feeling a pang of guilt when I see those products that I almost never use for one reason or another. So for this post I dug out my least used products and I am going to decide whether I should try and use them more or accept defeat and send them on to a more loving home.

When it comes to Spring and Summer, a switch is flicked inside me and I become obsessed with all things coral. They look so nice on other people and in the stick but as soon as I put them on my lips I'm so underwhelmed. Something about the orange colour spectrum doesn't look right on me. My least favourite that I own is the Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti. I don't like the formula of these to begin with, then coupled with the true orangeness of the lipstick makes for a tragic, try hard, primary school disco looking face of makeup. I can just about get away with the lighter corals such as Whimsical by Topshop but on the lips it has a slight hint of pink so I think that might be why.

Obviously I won't be giving all of these away but my sister has already laid claim to a few of them so I would say this is a firm RE-HOME.

This is the first highlighter I ever owned and it wasn't the best introduction. It's a cream highlighter and at the time of purchase I didn't have a decent brush to apply it with so it was always very clumsily applied therefore didn't reach it's full potential. It got put away and I bought a powder highlighter instead. It was retrieved again a few months later and I tried using it on my cheekbones but I found it just moved my foundation around so was once again regulated to the depths of my makeup storage. Definitely a re-home for this one, any takers?  

The last items on my list are these L'Oreal Color Infallible Eyeshadows. I have three colours; Time Resist White, Goldmine and Sahara Treasure. I did use these a lot when I first bought them on a 3 for 2 offer but I soon found that the white colour was way too harsh for me. It was completely unnatural and I stopped using it. I also stopped using the gold colour as it is too fancy for an everyday look. The nicest of the three is Sahara Treasure which is a neutral brown colour. I want to start using this one again as I remember really enjoying it when I did use it. So I will be looking to re-home Time Resist White and Goldmine and re-use Sahara Treasure. 

It looks as though I want to get rid of lots of my makeup, who knew?
