Make Up Declutter & Using Products Up

Over the past few months I've been trying to declutter my life as much as possible. My first step has been to donate a lot of 'stuff' that I never use to charity and to also give a lot of make up away to family. This really all started when I transitioned to cruelty free back in February and recently I've realised that I simply do not need such a large make up collection. Crazy right?! 

Anyway, so today's post is a quick overview of the products I'm giving away and trying to use up. 

Please note some of the products shown are NOT cruelty free, hence why I'm either getting rid of or using them up. 

Giving Away/Bin Pile

Some of these products such as the mascara and the lipstick I'm going to bin because they're really old and blurgh now. The others are products that I simply never use or they didn't work for me, so I'm going to give them away. 

I'm not 100% what to do with these brushes to be honest. They are all made from animal hair such as goat and badger, plus they shed really bad. Either way I definitely won't be using them again that's for sure!

Using Up Pile

As you can see the majority of these products are from brands that test or are either from brands that I'm not 100% convinced that they are cruelty free. 

The Maybelline and Clinique mascaras are very close to being used up, along with the Sleek eyebrow gel. The Maybelline eyeliner and eyeshadows are about half empty so not too far off! The MAC foundation is also half empty and the LA Girl concealer is practically empty. As for the S&G One Heck of a Blot primer, it's okay but not amazing so I want to use it up. 

I own waaaay too many body sprays and perfumes so I'm using the top three at the moment with the view to finishing them up. They are also not cruelty free or I'm unsure about their policies. 

I'm trying to switch over to more natural skincare products so the S&G face mask is being used up, along with the Body Shop day cream. I also own soooo many body butters so I'm slowly working my way through them!
