Items to Use Up

Items to use up
I feel like a whole lot of what we hear in the beauty community is "buy this" and "buy that!" I too have makeup and beauty product lusts. But as if as if lately, six months ago, it just wasn't fun buying beauty products anymore. I realized my stash started to look alike in terms of colors and product types. The more I went through my things, I was overwhelmed. The first major purge I did was back in August. I got rid of the new makeup items I just wasn't using. I sanitized everything, except lip items that I just threw away. I kept the things I really loved and it felt good to purge the rest. Sadly, I still have stuff I need to use up. Here's my list with photos and reasons why. 
Non makeup items:
Love to Dream- I don't remember when I bought this but as you can see I have about 1/3 of the bottle left. I guess it was pushed aside for new things.
Be Seduced- Again, no idea when I purchased this but I'd say I have 45% left and it just sits. 
Incredible Daring- Purchased summer 2012. It still smells good but I just stopped using it. 
Dream Angels Heavenly- Purchased fall 2011. I love the scent, still smells good but I just don't reach for it. 
Organix Coconut Milk Anti breakage serum- That line of what's left is below the gold label. I bought the oil mist from the Biotin line and haven't touched it since. Also, same for that shampoo which has about 4 or 5 uses left and should just use it up. I guess I just kept it cause I love the Organix line. 
Bio Oil- I bought it over a year ago. I used it a lot when I bought it but this was pushed back in the beauty shelf. 
On to makeup:
Tarte Blushes- I bought these in a set fall 2012. I've sanitized them and scraped off the top layer but they are never ending. Quite frankly, I'm tired of looking at them.
Rimmel powder- I've had this for about 6 plus months now and I just forgot to use it since I have a powder in a sifter. But it's just taking up space. 
Eos balm- As you can see it's down to the nitty gritty and I have about 15 other lip balms I need to use. 
Hardy Candy concealer- It's a great concealer but it's gotten annoying to have around and it's hard to see when its in its bin so I just forget about it. 
Sheer cover concealer- Its just a mess. The lid is broken and I just can't stand looking at it anymore. 
Too faced shadow insurance- I've had this since 2012 and there's about 1/6 left but it just won't die. 
Vs eyeliners- Dark Chocolate and Extreme Black. 2012 yet again, they have been sharpened and sanitized and they are taking up space.
Vs lip liner- Another purchase in 2012. It came in a set which I don't have. Its a mini size so I forget about it. 
Elf lipgloss-I have about 1/3 left. 
Vs gloss- I used a lot in 2013 when I first purchased it but I kind of forgot about it. It has 60% left.
Rimmel lipsticks- I have no idea when these were purchased. I have about half left of each. I just want them gone because I have others like them. 
Then these dang perfume samples; dream angels heavenly, viva la juicy gold couture and la fleur, and viktor and rolf flower balm. All of which have a few sprays left. 
I've made it my goal to have used most of these things up within 90 days. I will post monthly progress!
