Tomorrow, November 15, is America Recycles Day.

That got me wondering if you recycle, and if you recycle your makeup stuff.

We had a discussion over a year ago about What do you do with unwanted makeup and came up with some pretty good ideas, including donating it to a women’s shelter, giving it to friends or family, posting it on craigslist, or freecycle, swapping it, or returning it.

Can you think of other ways to recycle your beauty products?

I try to use refills for my liquid hand detergents instead of buying new pump bottles every time I need more soap, and although I’ve saved a few jars that would be perfect for adding the pigments from sample shadow baggies, or mixing pigments in, I haven’t exactly gotten around to do it.

I’ve also used a couple of eye creams that didn’t work as hand cream, but that’s all I can think of now.

Can you think of any other ways to recycle your beauty or skin care products?

If you can, please share.

And Happy America Recycles Day, even though it is a little early.
