MAC boxes

[ilovexnerdsx]

do any of you keep the MAC boxes? i mean like the packaging.... if so why do you keep them? for some reason i can't bring myself to throw them away and i have NO idea why i keep them!

I only keep my msf's in their boxes. For some reason I won't throw those out, but everything else goes right in the trash.

 

[giz2000]

No...I don't think I've ever kept a box..

 

[aziajs]

I always end of keeping them for a month or so. I guess I keep them in case anything needs to go back. Although, I kept the Lure packaging just cuz I liked it. I still have it.

I keep the box's just in case it has to go back or if i want to swap it( easier to ship). so i have a MAC bag that i keep my box's in...

I keep all of them although it`s probably a huge waste of space.

i keep all mac boxes and only mac boxes, no idea why

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

nope, mine go in the trash unless I'm not 100% sure about something. And in that case it usually goes back! otherwise, when i love something, the box goes right in the garbage!!

I keep mine. I am however a packrat. I keep everything.

 

[cyens]

I keep mine. I have them stacked on top of my closet to display all the MAC logos. not sure why I keep them. when I only had 3 quads I put the e/s packaging into those boxes. I have the box from my 15x for some reason, all my fluidlines - everything. the only packaging I don't keep is the wrapper on the brushes. maybe one day they'll decide that for 25 boxes you can get a free lipstick or something with b2m ha

I keep them too! I thought I was the only one who did this. I just keep them b/c they're MAC and I love all things MAC...I just don't have the heart to throw them away!

I don't keep any boxes. It would just take up too much space and be completely unpractical for me.
Some people have said that they keep them to put the products back into when they travel. But I really don't see any need for this (for me anyways). I've always traveled with mine inside the MAC briefcase as my carry-on, and I've never had any problem with breakage.

oh my damn. speaking of the MAC Boxes, I just threw out over 100 boxes on Sunday cause I needed to clean out my shelf, the only ones I kept were from thr LURE collection they are very special.

So, don't laugh, but when I first started using MAC, I thought that b2m was for the boxes. So I always kept the boxes (and threw away maybe 1 or 2 lipsticks worth of containers) before I realized I was keeping the wrong thing. Now, my impulse is to keep the boxes out of habit. I try to just toss it as soon as I get it, but I would look at it in the trash and feel guilty. So I had to buy a bathroom trash can with a lid!

But I do like the Lure packaging and I really like to keep my stuff in the boxes until I use it for the first time or until I've determined I've used it enough times.

I hope you all mean you are recycling these boxes... not trashing them!!

AACK!

 

[ledonatella]

Sometimes, usually for about 2 months, that way if I haven't used something by then I can still sell it with box attached.

i keep them.....but i'm not sure why.

I get so much crap from my husband because I keep them, I have a drawer full of just empty boxes (folded of course), but I really don't know why I can't throw them away.....I sometimes find some missing, though.....*glaring at husband* even though I know I didn't throw them away!!!
