Okay, so I absolutely LOVE makeup and beauty product sales and that sort of thing (Bath and Body works semi-annual sales get me every time!), and then once I bring them home, I feel kind of guilty if I do not end up using all of the products. It makes me feel like I'm wasting them or something if they sit around for a long time.

Does anyone else ever have this problem? lol.

You better believe it! I love a good bargain! Unfortunately, you only have so much room to house those good bargains. I've solved my problem by doing a semi-annual cleaning of the make up stash. Any thing that I want to get rid of and is still good gets put into a bag and I take it to my nieces. They love it when their aunt comes over for a party and they know that I cleaned out my "stash" This way the product goes to a new home and not the land fill. Also, I take all those lovely free gift bags from bonuses with me and they end up with make up and a bag. I'm a sucker for new colors for eyes and lips as long as they are in powder form since they will last a lot longer than a cream. I also have an inventory of all my colors and who made them. This comes in very handy (when my printer is working) to take when I have a make over done so I won't buy something I have already. They love it when I go to Prescriptives since my inventory sheet is over three pages long - that's with everything I own on it. I would love to have a rolling make up cart to store everything instead of what I use now.
