Makeup empties/expired II

I know it's crazy...but these are how much makeup I threw out over the weekend...I know the title of this post is a bit misleading. As you can clearly see, most of them are not used up.  They've been there in my stash for way long and some of them are samples that I have never even touched. My goal for the rest of the year is to go on a makeup buying ban. (unless I run out of something I use everyday). :P

Mascara Empties (high ends + drug stores)

I went through my makeup stash and cleaned up a lot of old/used up mascaras...Alot of them is not worth mentioning as I do not recommend them at all.  But I will highlight a few that I think it's worth mentioning. 1. Benefit - They're Real : This mascara has so much hype over the internet for a couple of years. I think this is a decent mascara as it gives good length and somewhat good volume. I would say it does a better job at lengthening than volumizing.  It holds curls well and it does not smudge. The best feature of this mascara is that it separates the lashes quite well and does not give a spidery finish to the lashes. 2. Lancome Hypnose Drama: Personally, this is not one of my favorite.
