The Packaging Thread

[sprocketta]

Packaging plays a major role in beauty products. Brands put out releases with special LE packaging. How many times have you drooled over the compact itself or the box or jar? Some packaging is a work of art. This is a thread to show that extra swoon-worthy items you had to photograph and share. I'm a sucker for the PMG lipstick boxes and keep them all. Huda put out a number of lip sets in adorable tins (this tin sits on the bathroom counter). These are a few of my favorite items. Please share yours. I can't walt to see.Huda Contour and Strobe Lip Set

I have no idea where I’ve tucked the brush holder away for the Minnie Mouse Sephora brushes.  I can’t even be sure I kept it.   I KNOW I have the blush somewhere but can I find it? No.

So cute! I just came across my Minnie lipstick, I wonder where the rest of it is? I remember depotting the eyeshadows, and I think I got both mirrors? @heartsmyface

@heartsmyface I own the bear and that minnie lipstick. I swear, we have the same eye for packaging. 😂

[heartsmyface]

@QueenMarceline   😂I’m noticing a trend for shiny gold things!   We’re like little Nifflers! 

 

 

[QueenMarceline]

@heartsmyface Haha! That does look like us 😂

[heartsmyface]

@QueenMarcelinethe resemblance IS really uncanny!  

[heartsmyface]

Just gonna post these guys cause they make me smile. 

 

[QueenMarceline]

@heartsmyface That Moschino bear makes me smile too 🙂

Here’s a collection I stayed up all night to snag.  I adore the silk packaging on the MAC Guo Pei collection.

Wow @heartsmyface ! I don’t remember that one but that is stunning !

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888 It was released in 2015. Annnf I’m just remembering I have more pieces from the collection eyeliner, lipglosses and a couple shadow quads.  The only thing I wasn’t able to get were the brushes, but they wouldn’t have survived me anyway with their silk handles.

A few random lovely packaged items I found irresistible! 💕💗💕

[heartsmyface]

@sister13   Nice!!  I’m jelly of the mirror compact.  All I snagged of that collection was the lipstick and I never opened it either.  😄

@sister13 You just took me back to my childhood!  Jem!!

[sister13]

Haha, I know, right?! Truly truly outrageous, lol @Mellmars1185

Nice! Thanks for posting these, @sister13 What a gorgeous Lançôme (highlighter?) object.

By the way, which Valentino Valentina is that? The design for the bottle was Fab. Although it didn't last on me, I rather miss the orig. V.V.  

If only special-packaging 'cult-hits' releases would re-appear! grabs bedazzled Megaphone ..Hey Guerlain! yoo-hoo!  We invite you to bring back Cruel Gardenia Meteorites highlighter for Holidays '23.

[sister13]

Hi @MvLL ! Yes, the Lancôme rose is a highlighter, or maybe more an illuminated, it’s very subtle whitish powder on the petals. 

And I will check on the Valentino Valentina edition, I’m not sure offhand actually. 

ooh, that Guerlain, so gorgeous, I missed that one too. And Chanel needs to bring back Camelia des Plumes. I did find that one randomly at a duty free but it’s one of two LE items I can’t use! Everything else I’ll use but it’s too pretty! 

[danielledanielle]

I love this thread, but oh man the FOMO is kicking in.  What are those beautiful lancôme items @sister13 , a highlighter and a??

[sister13]

@danielledanielle yes, the Lancôme is a highlighter, or illuminator with delicate white powder on the rose petals. The other two are actually little lip balms I got in France at a store called Nocibe. They were too cute to resist!

Omg Jem!!! @sister13
