Do you keep your cosmetics in their boxes?

[SapphireSeptember]

Just that really. Some I do, if it's limited edition or pretty or a way of keeping it secure in my bag (I don't really trust lipsticks or eyeshadow palettes that have a magnetic closure,) and I have some Easter themed eyeshadow palettes that are just easier to store in their respective boxes. I've been thinking about it, because most eyeshadow palettes I own don't really need the boxes, but I keep the palettes in them anyway.

Absolutely not. That’s a bit weird unless you’re a makeup collector or intend to resell.

I might keep special boxes (elsewhere), but I wouldn’t keep my makeup in it’s retail packaging by default. Bit of a faff when you want to use it, no? I wouldn’t be able to store it all as the packaging would increase the footprint.

I have a designated makeup vanity with drawers for storage, and I also have some Muji acrylic boxes. When travelling with makeup, I just keep it in a designated cosmetic bag (that can be wiped clean). I haven’t had a problem with lipstick leaking or the lid coming loose in my bag either - what product is it? The lid should be secure.

No. I don't know anyone who does that.

Definitely not.

No and never heard of anyone else doing this either

I do and I've been debating getting rid of the boxes as my muji storage is now full and its a pain in the arse putting everything away again. I'll join you in the box weirdness

No, never heard of that. Just more faff to get at the product IMO.

As an aside, what are ‘Easter-themed eyeshadows”?

@FatimaLovesBread Ahh, at least it's not just me then. Case in point, I have Colourpop eyeshadow palettes still in their boxes, which I have no intention of getting rid of because they feel lovely and velvety.

@AgentProvocateur I have some egg shaped eyeshadow palettes and some bunny shaped ones (courtesy of Revolution.)

I am a bit of a make-up collector, but I just do it for the fun of it, I have no blog or YT channel because I can't be bothered with the faff of dping all that. I just really really like make up and have done for years.

The only thing i keep in it's box is my Revitalash. Mainly because it cost me about a million pounds (disclaimer: slight exaggeration) and partly because the box is flash :)

I have with a couple of things where the box is much prettier than the case of the product. The blusher from this months Glossybox is one such example

Right, you've convinced me, I need to get rid of the boxes. Except my naked palettes, I might keep them in theirs

Yes! Everything in its box, I've been doing it for about the last 25 years!

Glad I'm not alone, some things just look/feel nicer in the box.
