This is a great idea especially because I'm planning to get a bunch of the LE lipsticks coming out this month! I have to set aside some products when I get home so that I can use them up! Since I've had Rebel and Candy Yum Yum the longest and they are the most used up already I think they'll be on the top of my list!

I've hit pan on Patina yesterday.
Ricepaper I'm down to 3/4.
Naked Lunch is 1/2 gone.
Brule is hanging in ther with just a thin ring of product around the side of the pan I can't reach anymore.
Espresso and Coquette have huge dips, since I use them everyday for my eyebrows (combined).
Painterly Paint Pot is also 1/3 gone.

I need to use my Woodwinked more, I want to hit pan on it next!

Nice work, everyone! I'm down to about a 1 cm of Courting Lilac lipstick and Star Nova Lustreglass, and there's only a little bump left in my Light Medium/Natural & Shimmer MSF. I also finished a Vanilla Bean Noel lotion from last Christmas, so I feel pretty good about that. :)

I'm about to finish my Deelight CSG, Painterly and Bare study paintpots !!!
My next goals are:
- Brulé, I seriously hit pan on this one
- Zoom Lash mascara, I hate it but I also hate throwing items.

Great job ladies! Visiting family for the holidays, and I have a few mostly used up items I left behind to use next time I visited that I am hoping I can use up fairly easily, including my second dazzleglass. :)

Mine are all lippies, they are my weakness. Figured I'd start wih these cause they are all everyday colors. Im sick right now though. So I havent been wearing any lippies lately.

I finished two items this week - Mineralize Concealer and the final bit that was left in my blot powder. I have three glosses with tiny amounts left, but two are spring colours and I probably won't finish those until I start to transition seasons.

I actually finish products all the time; I easily BTM four times a year. I've finished a lot fairly recently, so I don't know what else I'm likely to get through in the immediate future. I only have a bit left of Oh, Oh, Oh and my first Glamourdaze; they'll probably both be done by the end of the winter. One of my liners is down to the final dregs, so another few sharpenings will be the end of it. Hm...I'm going to say five more empties by the end of April since I just replaced two staples.

Heck yeah girl usually I would. But unfortunately my lips are just not in very good condition right now. And I'm blowing my nose constantly, so it all comes off LOL
Ah yes, the dreaded nose blow! :( I guess that's a plus to me not being able to blow my nose lol

Yay! I actually finished two items today! That never happens! Ok, the lipgloss was a mini size (gwp), but it held a ton of product, used it for ages!

Does anyone else feel sad using up LE packaging? I have a Hello Kitty blush and it's almost done...I know it needs to go...but I keep stalling because the packaging is so darn cute! Same w/VV. I kind of loved that packaging...so I don't use the products as often to avoid using it up. I don't think it's the same to keep empty packaging either...I mean what the heck would I do w/an empty blush container? Lol.

I must be crazy to love packaging this much...

You know when you've used your mac lipstick down flat but there's still a bit of product left?
I scraped it out, put it in a empty pot, heated it up for about 10 secs, stirred, then repeated twice.
When it cools you have a lovely pot of lipstick/cream blush!
I did this with Viva Glam Nicki 1 as the colour was awful on me.
I was keeping it to use as a blush but I have plenty already, so I gave the pot to my teenage sis and she was made up with it!

Just curious what do most of you do with products you we're happy with and are slightly used like swatched or tried 5 times and under?
