I recently bought a skincare set of 5 items and don’t need 3 of them. I also have a few items (impulse buys) like Clarins powder and blusher (wrong shades, stupid woman I am! 😡), Laura Gellar baked powder, that gives me extra wrinkles!!! 🙈😡 Anyway, some charity shops won’t take these and I do understand that. Does anyone know where I could send these to where they would/could be put to good use? All are well within use by date.
Thanks

If the items are unopened most charity shops would accept them.

Boots have tubs for these sort of things used and unused go and you get points for each I save all my empties for my granddaughter to get her extra points on her card they don’t have to be Boots products
Charity shops or at least ours, accepts unopened, unused items but creams and things must have the silver paper untouched on the top, under the fastening so completely unopened .

I echo these contributors. If unopened, a charity shop. If opened, a foodbank.
Toiletries of any sort are much appreciated by our client group.
