Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I keep my stash nice and clean in storage carts and boxes, so I don’t have to clean out my stash that often. I do it about every 6 months to get rid of old rancid lipsticks or gloss. Or I give stuff I never use to my mum or aunt.

Don’t really have a set timetable for it, just every so often I pull out a few things that I don’t use, are too old, etc., and either swap them on MUA, sell them on eBay, give them to my sister or bin them. Probably 2-3 times a year I guess.

About once a month I’ll put stuff I don’t use in a drawer, and if it still sits there after 3 months, I give it away. I can’t stand having lots of stuff around. Thank goodness I never got into body products, creams, soaps, etc.

Maybe once a year. I did a clean out just before I moved and a mini-clean out after I unpacked. I tossed the old lip glosses, foundations, and liquid liners. But mascara gets moved every 3 months like clock work!

Every few months of so. I try to keep things clean as I go, so I’ve never had too many issues with things. Try to use items up before they go stale.

every few months when I try to reorganize to make all my stuff fit into my traincase, I pull out what i don’t use and give it to my fiance’s sisters.

I don’t have that much stuff so I never do, my niece(just in mind she is only 6yrs old) loves my glosses so I end up just giving her ones I never use thats about it

Whenever I reorganize my makeup I try to go through my mascaras, lipsticks/glosses, and eyeliners to make sure they’re still okay for use. My stash isn’t *terribly* big though, so this usually only happens when the seasons change and I get more products to deal with it (ex: tinted moisturizer, tinted lipbalms/stains for summer & foundations, powders, lipsticks for winter). But I haven’t been into makeup very long so I haven’t had to pull out rotten lipsticks or anything yet- just some mascaras that have dried up.

Every month I’ll run through my entire collection (which is pretty tiny) and see what can be given away. And I extend this to my skincare, haircare, clothes and shoes. I actually *like* cleaning things out. Makes me feel like my wardrobe/makeup collection is neat and compact. 🙂
