I also keep the inserts. Mainly because I think they help to protect the product, and maybe it helps to keep the powder residue contained. I just open them upside down so the inserts are in the lid.I do keep them in the containers. If you look closely, you'll see that the plastic doesn't come into contact with the product. It has an edge that rests on the lip of the pot and is held in place when you click the lid closed. When I do travel with these (on VERY rare occassions due to how fragile they are) I like having that extra layer of protection against my product. Then between the plastic on top of the powder I'll layer a couple sheets of tissue paper or Kleenex (another on here suggested cotton balls... Genius!) to add a buffer between the powder and the lid.
I guess I'm the last to post my beautiful swirls, but the collection launched here on Monday. (finally)
Center of the Universe
Light Year
Star Wonder
Supernova
Earthshine
Ring of Saturn and Earthly mes
Cut a caper l/s
If I could, I would definitely buy a BU for each one of them!!! I'm still thinking going back to buy Stratus, Meteoric(or a Cut a caper BU) and another CotU but with more gold in it.
I've noticed that my Ring of Saturn didn't have the plastic cover that the mineralize products usually have. Should I return it or it's ok?
He grabbed it from the drawer, yes! (I kept following him because when I asked him to let me pick the swirls I wanted, he didn't seem very happy about itWe are HAPPY to have your swirl pics girl! Thanks!!
That is curious why your RoS doesn't have a plastic lid... Hmmm? Did the SA grab it from the drawer? If so, it's probably fine! You'd be able to tell if it had been used, I think. Lots of dust kicks up with these and there'd be noticible evidence on the inner rim. If it bothers you, definitely take it back for a replacement. If it helps at all... I LOVE your RoS! AND your Earthshine swirl is exactly what I went searching for! YAY!!
Haha, that's what I thought as well!I like how the swirl in your Light Year reminds me of Superman's emblem.
Love your Earthly!
Okay, so I am late to the party, but here is my damage. Some of them have a little love going on & the pictures came out a little dark. Lightscapade isn't in the family picture, but there she was in all her glory behind the counter. I spotted it and said "is that what I think it is" and she said "Ligh" and I said "lemme see 'em"...so I scored LS too!
Someone please school me on Lightscapade! Why so coveted? I might need! Better late than never...I don't think I am near over seeing these swirls yet! I want to take all mine out and play, but hubby already thinks I am nuts! Comments all the time, "how many more makeup videos and websites can you look at?" Men!Okay, so I am late to the party, but here is my damage. Some of them have a little love going on & the pictures came out a little dark.

I keep them. I think the inserts help keep the products from getting beat up. But, then, i keep my products in their boxes! Well, except when i put them in my purse makeup kit.Do you all keep your inserts inside of the products? I'm not sure whether this will make them more dusty, because I'm thinking every time the product moves around, the plastic insert will rub against the surface of the product, and cause some product to rub off. Is that crazy thinking?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!As you were!
