As some of you may be aware, in my spare time I work as a cosmetician. As such, I have oodles and oodles of makeup - excess makeup, in fact.
So, I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. Some of it has never been opened, and some of it I opened and used once.
So, rather than throwing it out, does anyone have any ideas?
If there are any organizations near you that help homeless or disadvantaged women get jobs - these are the kind of groups that teach them how to interview well, how to dress for an interview (and they provide suitable clothes), etc., I bet they’d take it. Just the unused stuff though; I would bet they cannot accept anything that has been opened.
A high-school drama department might want it too.
Hmnn…I have the same problem.
A shelter for battered women who’re starting a new life?
Unopened make up could be donated to a women’s crisis center or cancer center. Either would be a worthy cause and both would go a long way to making some woman’s day a little brighter.
I don’t know if they would accept opened packages but it’s worth asking. If not, you could always use the opened stuff to give your pet a baboon butt.
Yh - generally the unopened stuff I do ship off to the local women’s shelter, along with clothing that I don’t want and can’t sell.
However, I’m quite sure they wouldn’t take the opened stuff - despite my assurances that I have no eye fungus, they’re just not into that kind of thing.
I suppose I could try my high-school (that I graduated from many, many moons ago) they might take it.
Send it to me 
I must make myself booty-ful!
Or you could carry on with your good ideas about heelllping people. :rolleyes:
So e-mail me your address and I will.
As I stated above, I have no eye fungus.
Hold a pumpkin decorating contest unlike any the world has ever seen before!
Create a totally new persona for yourself each day, complete with outrageous makeup.
Put up a sign on a street corner for “free makeovers.” Create abstract masterpieces.
Donate to your local needy hookers.
Well this is an interesting idea…
“Excuse me madame, your makeup looks hookerish and garish, would you like some new…” “Oh, nevermind.” 
I believe Eve knows some folks who could use it. 
If there’s any little girls in your life, they’d love the lipstick, eyshadow and blushers. Don’t give 'em eye makeup, though. They will, inevitably, poke their eyes out. And make sure you tell them it’s just for dress up play at home, or they’re gonna pitch a fit about not getting to look like Tammy Faye in preschool.
I buy my neice her own “Little Girl” makeup so she would have no use for my leftovers.
(She’s also the only little girl I know - my friends have pretty well all had boys and I’m not sure offering them makeup would go over that well at this stage.)
Check your e-mail!
You got a dog, don’t ya?
Dunno if your local vocational school could accept anything opened. Likewise for a theater company.
Failing that, take a picture of what you have and list it as a Big Honkin package of Makeup on eBay.
Someone will buy it.
I think I have a taker for the makeup! Horray! Now I just have to sort it, package it and send it.
wOOt!
Well, who was it? I mean not who, but what kind of taker?
I want to know because then I’d know where to find a Dutch taker.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. 
Well, who wanted the stuff? A school, a theatre company, a womans shelter? If I would know one of those could use the make-up, I’d try and approach a similar institution over here.
Ah.
Nope - it was another doper. I’m gonna mail the stuff off after this weekend, when I sort threw it all.
