When to retire a color from your collection

Hello all again - so as some of you read in another post I was thinking of pitching my BE I've had for a long time and starting with some new colors and new jars.

Several of you wanted to assure me that in terms of bacteria and safety I was fine and that minerals wouldn't be growing bacteria. I've had my original jars since 2006.

I know I had to toss a foundation once that had an expiration date but other than that I guess when do you know it's time to get rid of your items?

Also, I have some colors I got in a kit that frankly I know I tried and looked terrible and I've never used them since - I think it was the BE gifted collection from 2008? It was the one with the boxes... anyway I tried to give them to my sister and she recently gave them back saying she would never use them....

So I have too many jars now and I just don't know if there is a purpose in keeping them all... thoughts?Advice? When do you retire something from your collection?

Thanks
