Weird Collection?

Ugh, once again I am sick...I swear, this is like my 20th time this year! :(

So just a quickie post today, actually it's a poll because I was wondering...

Do any of you keep the packaging after buying skincare or makeup products? Or is it just me? Honestly, I don't know why I keep them because I don't use them, but the packaging is so pretty that I feel bad throwing it away....

  • Yes! So glad to know I'm not the only one :) (32 votes)
  • Um no, that's weird... (1 vote)
  • It depends on the packaging (18 votes)
  • No, but I have other weird collections...(do tell!) (2 votes)

It depends on the packaging for me. Especially if it can be used as storage or gift wrapping for small items. I hope you feel better soon! You should go to the doc and ask for a free shot of b12 and some zinc. That'll boost the immune system up.

I usually throw the packaging away, but I kept the boxes of my MAC paint pots cuz they're the only MAC products that I have XD I also remember buying a trio of lipglosses cuz of the packaging.

Like perfume bottles that collect, but the discarded paper packaging.

I like to keep the boxes too, esp the Two Faced ones, which are always super cute, and NARS ones. But been trying to throw out some, esp MAC.. cos they are taking way too much space. I like to keep the carriers too!

I voted for yes. I keep all the boxes especially if they are the pretty and cute ones.

Sometimes I even keep the carriers (and most likely if it's plastic bag - save the earth! :D) if it's cute. (sorry, I now, Im weird :D) but at the end of the year I have to clear them away... and start collecting again :DD

FacesBySarah said...

i keep carriers too!! Like all the mac bags i always get, i keep n use them for when im out dng a shoot and need a bag to store dirty brushes etc!

idakz said...

I do keep them. even if they aren't cute. i don't know why. haha

icyabstract said...

I'm the same I keep them as well. Though I am a bit selective with the boxes I keep, either higher end brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown etc or products that do not have descriptions on them. haha.

I keep them because I'm afraid I'll have to return the products!!

wow, glad to know i'm not the only one that's weird! haha, i feel so much more normal now after reading all your guys' comments :P i usually keep the boxes and bags but ill recycle the plastic stuff, like the covering on mascara packages, stuff that you obviously can't use again. im such a sucker for packaging its ridiculous, even if im hesitating about the product itself, ill buy it anyways just bc of the package! btw elaine, thats also a reason i keep the package! :)

Not only do I keep the packaging I also keep the package it came in by Fedex or post. It's like a happy memory when I see them. A lot of them are so pretty. I cannot even throw out the empty makeup package like the mascara tube. It's like I think the makeup pixie or makeup angel is going to come and put more makeup in the tube or eyeshadow palette or whatever. It's only the makeup stuff though and sometimes the skin care jars. Everyting non makeup or skin care gets tossed.

Sorry that last line didn't get proof read, it should say "Everything non makeup or skin care gets tossed". It's a thing in my head sorry.

dblchin said...

u can use the packing for something else!!! save paper! save the environment.
nice job with that!

liana123 said...

mslisticklvr: i sometimes keep the fedex package too, most of the time in case i need the address from it...i also have a hard time throwing away used up makeup too!
dblchin: yeah, i try to think of other ways i can use them!

ehtiffany said...

I keep this for future use like postages/birthday gifts because I'm someone who can't wrap a thing without putting it in a box first!
