What beauty products or shades do you find truly multi-purpose? Share your favorites!

How you deal with dry patches on your face? Share!

What eyeshadow color do you have but seem to wear the least? Share!

What do you do with makeup you don't like or no longer use? Share!
My answer as a regular consumer would be to pass along to friends or donate (it is harder to find a place that will take tested or used products). As a blogger, I do keep products I don't like personally or don't expect to wear often...
