First up is skin care items. The only full-sized item is the Nature Republic White Therapy face wash. I've actually been using that face wash for over a year! It lasted me that long. It was okay but given the chance to purchase it, I don't think I would. The rest of the items are all mini sizes. The tops of the Noevir items I've written letters on the top so that I knew what it was as the items are different things but in same-sized bottles.
More skin care items. The Naive face wash and ZA sunscreen were both full-sized items. I loved the Naive Aloe face wash and will purchase it again when I've used up all of the face washes in my stash. This face wash also lasted me a year. It was a thank you gift from someone. I liked the ZA sunscreen, which was a gift from Sheila. I can't get ZA here any more. Fortunately, I have other sunscreens that I like and can purchase here.
The only hair care product that I used up was Neuma Moisture conditioner. I did like it but don't think that I'll be purchasing it again. The shampoo will probably be used up soon.
Lastly is makeup. I used up my Canmake mascaras and K-Palette eyeliner. These items are what I would consider staples in my makeup so they are replaced. I also used up a Canmake loose powder blush. I liked the color a lot but still not sure if I like the loose powder form. I have so many other blushes to use so will not be purchasing a replacement soon, although I would like to try the same color in a pressed powder blush.
Hoping that I use up a lot more of my stash in 2012!

Wow, you finished a lot of stuff! I think I finish one thing every 2 or 3 months :p
I can mow my way through toiletries, but as you can see, I struggle to finish makeup!
I love the feeling of using up what I have, plus then I can justify my buying new things without getting flack lol :)
you're doing a great job! I really respect people who actually use up makeup - like that blusher! keep at it :)
Good job!! ESPECIALLY on using up stuff like that blusher! That is real dedication! I've never finished a blusher before...ever! Always had to toss them in the trash before I finished them cos I'd been holding onto them for far too long. Actually speaking of which it's probably about time I purged my collection again...
@Rainy Days and Lattes--I tend to take a while to use things up too but skin care definitely does go a lot more quickly than makeup. A lot of the things were mini/trial sizes so it made it look more impressive.

@Jamilla--Aahhh, but you have such lovely makeup items that I would want to make them last as long as possible.

@Brianna--LOL! I know what you mean! New products keep on getting released and it's so hard to resist sometimes (maybe more than sometimes).

@Nic Nic--Thank you! I saw your Maquillage Face Creator palette and you've hit pan on it. I'm impressed by that!

@Jian--That's what I've been doing this month, very slowly--going through and trying to purge my stash of old items. I'll probably post on that too.
