Donating cosmetics??

[lau86]

I seem to have a lot of unopened cosmetics hanging around, some that I've bought and decided I don't want and some people have given me, I'm often trying to improve my appearance then decided I can't be bothered. Anywho. As these are 'new' it seems a bit of a shame to throw them away, but charity shops won't take them?
I'm a bit wary if free cycle, has anyone used it or has any other ideas?

I'd do ebay. I sometimes buy the odd thing that's just been used once and been the wrong shade; it's a bit of a waste otherwise. Just be wary that the stuff isn't too old as make-up has a sell by date.

I sold mine at a car boot and the unopened sets got a few pounds each and the little palletes got about £1 each.

Donate them to a homeless shelter?

Freecycle is okay, I've gotten rid of a few things from there. There's a free section on Gumtree too.
If you know any charities close by you could offer them for raffle items. In my old workplace they'd often be collecting unopened make-up/toiletries to bundle up for raffles.
