If you had to throw away one item from your beauty stash, what would it be?C’mon, only one!

.

Oh, that’s easy for me, LOL. I’d toss a foundation that I didn’t wear any more. I know I’ve got at least a few hanging around.

Thanks to Samantha for this question!

    I would probably toss a lipgloss I haven’t worn in months

  2. Bridgette says:

    My maybelline yellow dark circle corrector concealer! I just hate it so much!

  3. My MAC Zoom Lash mascara. I hate it with a burning passion!!

  4. Miss Kitty says:

    do sponge tip applicators count? come on, i have this massive unnecessary stash from when my mum bought me a whole heap of them because she thought they’d be useful. i hate the things!

    if they don’t count, this pink eyeshadow i have that looks gorge in the pan, but has to be used wet for any noticeable colour payoff.

  5. Ana Cristina says:

    I would throw out one of my foundations (foundations are boring but necessary LOL) or one of my old brushes that I keep stashed in a box, they are cheap and scratchy… hehe

  6. baybee415 says:

    it would be a chapstick that i dont like anymore.. lol.. but no i think it would be the jordana liquid eyeliner… it was a recommendation from a guru… smell like a marker ughh.

  7. michelle says:

    ridiculously old mascara.
    and seriously lipstick from the 1980s. i think my mom has a hoarding problem haha

  8. Diana says:

    nail polish!…and old lipglosses…i have TONS of lipglosses that i havent used in ages n i never will use them

  9. Rosie says:

    The Revlon matte blue I have sitting there for some reason. Used it once.

  10. Emily says:

    MAC Cranberry eyeshadow. I just don’t know what to do with it, at all.

  11. johnfiend says:

    my MAC Studio Tech foundation. its awful!!! im not a fan at all. that was an easy one!

  12. Michelle says:

    my prestige liquid eyeliner, i dont like it and i never use it.

  13. Christy says:

    Probably a few old Red Earth eye liners that I haven’t worn in years. Actually I think I’ll throw those out now that I think about it. ;)

  14. Christina says:

    I could stand to toss a lipgloss I haven’t worn in a while

  15. Brigitte says:

    All those drugstore foundations that just do not match!

  16. Ceriene says:

    A lipgloss I got for free from Sephora. :>

  17. Samantha says:

    Thanks Christine for asking my question! At first I intended it to be amongst your top 10 products (then if you just had had had to choose which one to get rid of which would it be?) But then again this gets all the MU lovers out there to do some spring cleaning =) =)

  18. bella says:

    My pressed powder from Majolica Majorca. Totally useless and impossible to work with!

  19. amelia says:

    a sephora concealer that’s too dark for me.

  20. Nicci says:

    a moisturizer that has been sitting in my drawer for a month…

  21. bubbles says:

    All my Laneige skincare! The stuffs are just blah!

  22. Lisa says:

    covergirl last blast! does absolutely nothing for me.

  23. plue says:

    foundation or concealer! hideous thing that ALWAYS make me look either awful or awesome! LOL

  24. Jae says:

    Chanel’s Beaute Initiale.
    It made my skin so dry, I don’t know where to start.

  25. sandra1900 says:

    One MAC lipgloss that I’ve been using for 2 years now……. it’s yakkie, I know, but love the color so much….

  26. Tracy says:

    Tough question! I should probably throw out my old blusher from 10 yrs ago! Ooops!

  27. Anitacska says:

    Just one thing? I have loads of stuff that I don’t even know why I bought, but still keep, although I’ve been trying to sell some of the high end ones on eBay or swap them. But there are many drugstore eyeshadows that I would throw out in a flash, and also some cheap brushes I never use since I’ve got my GOSH brushes. Hm, maybe I should actually chuck them out instead of keeping them, lol.

  28. Sans says:

    mascara.. i know there are a couple in my stash that have to be more than 6 months old!

  29. Salvinia says:

    I could easily name twenty, but I’m going to challenge myself and stick to MAC products. It would definitely have to be Virgin Kiss lipglass (Rose Romance collection), which I now know is the one thing from that collection you advised people to skip, and for good reason! I don’t have a problem with the colour, but I can’t stand how chunky and obvious the glitter is! Plus, whenever I wear it I end up with horrible glitter residue on my lips for hours after I take it off. Of course, I feel obligated to wear it since it was kind of expensive.

  30. julia says:

    Either blue green mac pigment, ive never used it and never will (its not a full size, its came with a pigment holiday set) or my plushglash in pretty plush. I don’t like the mixture of vanilla and plumper, its seriously freaks me out! (that is my one and only plushglass), its a bit upsetting though because i think the color is just darling.

  31. Sara says:

    Mac Surreal eyeshadow. I just can’t do anything with it! But instead of chucking it, I’d just Back2Mac it ;)

  32. Alma says:

    A foundation which really isn’t my color, easy ;)

  33. AnGeLwInGz says:

    A Chanel serum that I got for free when I worked there. I haven’t used it in 2 years but I can’t bring myself to throw it away because it costs like $80 in the store and I’d feel guilty wasting it.

  34. Shah'ada says:

    All my bare escentuals stuff. I hate it, it makes my face itchy and looks like craaaaaap!

  35. Lisa says:

    My three Prestige glitter liquid liners. I don’t know what their definition of glitter is because there is none.

  36. dolce aria says:

    My Rimmel translucent pressed powder. I tried using it again a few weeks back and it looked just as horrible as I remembered.

    My Bobby brown under eye concealer. I’ve had it for probably long enough for it to expire, and I never feel like it actually is opaque enough to make a visible difference. Usually I just do another layer of my MAC Studiofix foundation.

    My NARS Night Fairy eyeshadow-I LOVE the color in the palette, but the texture/pigmentation is SO awful I have looked at all the other NARS colors with skepticism. Though that’s probably better for my pocketbook.

    That said, I likely will never throw any of the above away, while I still think I “could” decide to use them. I am a pack rat.

  37. Nic says:

    My Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation. No matter how I apply it, I hate the texture. Plus, despite being the lightest color, it’s still slightly too dark for me. :P

  38. Jessica says:

    This is so hard Christine… I can’t throw anything out; I am such a junkie. Maybe my Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara, which is half used because I hate it so much.

  39. AlyxVeee says:

    Probably be one of the cheap drugstore eyeshadows I got on sale. Blehh they can have them all in fact!

  40. Jess says:

    Some random lipgloss by Stila..its soooo horrible,its way to sticky and when ever i put the little wand back in the tube a bunch of lipgloss just spills out..i really hate it -__-

  41. Evelyn says:

    My goopy Buxom lashliner! I hate it.

  42. Candice says:

    MAC Dear Cupcake eyeshadow. Now that I’ve gotten Rubenesque Paint Pot the color pay off is better, but you do have to pack it on.

  43. Nicole says:

    Bobbi Brown oil free foundation. I hate it with a fiery passion, but do I force myself to use the whole bottle, or throw $50 to the wind? Grrrrrrrrrrr.

  44. abril says:

    I gave all my lipglosses to my 7-year-old cousin hahaha they were Lancome’s Juicy Tubes & Victoria’s Secret Glosses… I just never used them… And I had a MAC Lipglass, I don’t remember the name but it was green or mint-green! It was awful! I don’t know why I bought it! LOL! So, I had 5 empty products for Back-2-MAC and I added that Lipglass to get Shy Girl! haha

  45. DonnaN says:

    probably a chapstick….

  46. Ryan says:

    My loreal hip duos. Complete crap.

  47. Diana says:

    a nailpolish

  48. Lila says:

    L.A. Colors eyeshadow palette I never wear..

  49. Ashley says:

    probably a mascara tube…but it would have to be one i didnt spend a lot of money on, otherwise i’d feel bad.

  50. ChauDM says:

    Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara (water-proof) It IS horrible: does nothing and smells weird.

  51. make_up_maven says:

    all my lip gloss – none of it has ever been used. i don’t even know why i bought it LOL

  52. Alice says:

    wet n’ wild liquid eyeliner! I’ve used it twice, and it’s the worst liquid eyeliner I’ve ever tried. It has a sticky texture and it flakes quickly! Hmm maybe I just got an old one?? Regardless… I don’t know why I haven’t already thrown it away

  53. gabriella says:

    The new Almondine lipglass I bought without seeing the Spring Color forecast collection. I wish I had waited. I have to use litterally NONE of it and spread it all over just to make it wearable. But fortunately I find lipglasses very moisturizing in the winter! I’ll find a use!
