The Battle of Gorgeous Packaging! Is it Worth The Money?

[gabzillaa]

Yep, you're not alone

That's my MAC lippy-box collection

I keep the other boxes (face powder, concealer,...) as well, but they don't fit in/on there.
Even my brushes (the more expensive ones, like MAC brushes), I keep them in their plastic wrapping...

I keep the boxes too! I put them all in a MAC bag though, and put my lipsticks in a lipstick holder. Where'd you get this, though? This is awesome!!!

Ah true... just saw that. So sorry, you couldn't get your hands on it. I went to the store on the day it launched and was there before they opened bec I thought it'd be hard to get. There was such a hype about these lippies, crazy...  I'm currently searching for Runner and Gunner bec I don't want to wait any longer. :haha: I'm living in Austria, here it will be released at the beginning of Feb, I guess.  

It's a shame that a lot of people overprice when they're reselling purely because they were lucky enough to get hold of them!! I want all three yeah I'm thinking it will be the same over here end of January- beginning of February!

At least I'm not the only crazy one!

I just can't let go: even if they're in normal packaging!!

Lol that reminded me of Titantic "I'll never let go Jack...never let go"

I keep my lippies in a tupperware box, I don't leave them in their boxes anymore bec opening and closing these boxes every time you take a lippy out ruins them

Thanks! My boyfriend made it for our anniversary last year

Replace 'Jack' with 'MAC' and that phrase will be true

That's true and that's the reason why I would never buy make up on ebay, you also never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes they're even fakes.
These nice people on specktra often sell them for a reasonable price. I've never bought something on here but I think I will soon. Seems to be a good way to get the things you're searching for.
I've seen many lippies that would cost more if I bought them here in Austria even with shipping(!).

Made me think of the TF lips and boys collection - the life of a lipstick addict

 

[gabzillaa]

This was in one of the bags where I put the empty boxes. Imagine how excited I was to find those lashes and the Hibiscus Kiss!!! My BU of KYY was also there, it's like Christmas! haha!

That's also why I joined Specktra (and started a blog), I didn't want to annoy him anymore.

He's fine with it if I don't tell him every little detail about new collections or products I like.
He's noticed that it's a thing I really like and enjoy so I guess he accepts it and supports me in his own way which is really nice of him

You mean of my tupperware storage box?
It really was

You got some nice things there! I wish I was into MAC when the Riri collection(s) came out.

Don't even get me started on the the TF Lips and Boys! I wanted them ALLLLLLL but they're so tiny and not worth the money

I'd love to get Heaux for a good price

 

[Periodinan]

So true! I would have bought just one or maybe two bec it's really a lot of money for the amount of product you get. As always: you don't just pay for the product you also pay for the brand.
I was about to order some but then I saw they didn't have Stavros anymore.
So I got some of the NARS Audacious lippies instead

:support: I'd love to get Heaux for a good price 

Got my fingers crossed for us :frenz:
