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.
@CoffeeWuff It’s half wolf half dog 😂 First Chantecaille made that eyeshadow trio for wolves but than it made single highlighter with the identical little face for the Year of the Dog.
@Zvezdochka love your collection. That top piece with the wolves was definitely something I had in mind when I started this thread. Is the last one Anna Sui? Looks like her style. Gorgeous!
@sprocketta You are absolutely correct. It is Anna. Pretty much every make up item that Chantecaille does is a piece of art. Plus the causes they support make a purchase more pleasant (although I do wish they donated a bigger % of sale price than they do).
I am not usually drawn to purchasing a product due to packaging @sprocketta. I did save a package from my garment center days because I was drawn to the packaging. I am always drawn to anything pink so I did purchase the PMG Divine Rose 11 in the pink packaging.
Lovely packaging.
Like you @sprocketta, pink and red are my two favorite colors. I agree that PMG packaging is gorgeous!
Thanks for the tag @sprocketta !
There's something about a simple packaging I like too @WinglessOne
@WinglessOne I knew I could count on you for a gorgeous and brilliantly detailed post. That R2D2 packaging is killing me. I love the red as a beauty mark. I had a piercing in this spot when I was younger and loved it. Here's a blast from my past so you can see it. I miss the days of hot pink hair and spikes.
@sprocketta I love this photo! Reminds me of my 80s and 90s goth punk days. 🙂 I keep saying I’ll re-pierce my nose someday. I miss wearing nose rings.
@WinglessOne your commitment to beauty is kind of other-worldly. Alber Elbaz, I haven’t tried that but I’m interested. I believe he was ousted from his brand a few years ago, which makes me even more curious. Creativity isn’t always appreciated, but we need it to move forward. So I am curious, what are the notes? A side note, what do you think of Glossier You?
@eshoe Yeah, Elbaz had a big falling out with Lanvin’s owner. So did others, if I recall correctly. I heard he’s launching his own brand, AZ Fashion. I don’t normally keep up with the fashion world, but his story was hard to miss, especially when Lanvin began a downhill tumble after he was forced out. 😄
Superstitious is a classic floral with just enough sharpness to hold my interest. I’m normally not a fan of rose-forward fragrances, but I love this one. The nose is Dominique Ropion. Here are the official description & notes, copied from Frederic Malle direct:
It’s a big crowd pleaser. I get more compliments on this fragrance than any other I wear.
EDIT: I have a sample of Glossier You but haven’t used it yet. You just reminded me to try it. 😄
I absolutely love all the information and detail you put in your posts @WinglessOne
The patchouli notes interest me so I will seek it out @WinglessOne.
Yes, I recall reading about the whole ordeal, it was sad, really. Any type of upheaval like that is disheartening. I don’t know whether it’s better or worse if it’s visible on the outside; it still hurts.
I wish Glossier had some DS once in awhile. My biggest pick with the brand which really, isn’t much.
