purging your makeup stash

how often do you purge your stash? i have a "use everything up" mentality but i think there are somethings i'll never use yet i've been hesitant to throw them out.
how often do you purge? do you force yourself to throw out things that you don't use? do you donate things? any thoughts and ideas welcomed!

If I just WANT SOMETHING TO GO I try to find other uses for it or make it into something else. For example, I made a lipstick I hate into a lip gloss and eyeshadows I never use into a highlighter (still trying to perfect the formula but I'll be sharing that soon)!
If it's something I never use but I know one my friends or family members might love, I sanitize (very important!) it and pass it on to them. I've gotten rid of a lot of eyeshadows and liners that way.

I have a problem...I have more makeup than I could ever wear in 2 lifetimes, yet I can't part with any of it.
This is me as well, with many items. I will purge mascara's and pressed powders, but I have some eye shadow from 1991.... Somewhere.

S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!
I am working on this.

I wear a lot of MAC stuff and MAC will give you a free lipstick when you return six empty containers. So I get rid of some stuff that way.
But mostly, I just use stuff up bc I wear a lot of the same stuff every day.
My main problem is the set up. I have a vanity in the bathroom and a 3 drawers that I could use for makeup. Do I? No. Most the time I end up doing my makeup in the living room while watching videos. It's my morning thing. I keep my makeup in smaller/medium sized rubbermaid containers with lids and handles. I've got hair stuff shoved in most my drawers. I've gotta work on that. Just put it up and take out what I need.
