Unwanted Beauty Products - any ideas?

4 replies

I have a pile of unwanted (but opened) beauty products and would love to know if they can be donated or swapped.

Beauty banks and charities will understandably only take unopened or unused items.

I'm talking about barely used things that would have minimal hygiene risk e.g:

Nail polish - used once and colour doesn't suit

Shower gel/body cream - opened and don't like fragrance.

Face mask - in a tube, tried once and unsuitable.

Hair mask - allergic to an ingredient

Seems so wasteful to throw them away. Just wondering if they could be reused somehow e.g for someone to patch test or sample fragrance. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you’re in a city then the Olio app is great for this kind of thing.

Will check it out. I thought it was just for food. Good to know Olio is for all sorts. Thanks

I think you can recycle used make up items at Tesco

Another one for the Olio app.
