same here! all my msf's are in their original boxes. i honestly don't know why. things i am unsure of keeping, i keep in the box and either sell it or return it.

Usually I keep them for the purpose of selling and swapping. 99% of the time, my boxes match my products (sometimes I eventually throw out some boxes of items that I know I'm keeping).
It's extra, sturdy protection in the mail and you can't beat that.

I specifically keep the boxes (and inserts) of my MSFs to minimize any mess should anything cause them to shatter in any way.

i keep all of my MAC in boxes except for one lipglass that i bought online who didn't come with a box. i like keeping them in the box though because 10 eyeshadows in their boxes fit perfectly in each top tray of my traincase, and that way i can see the names too so i know exactly what i'm pulling out

do i need the boxes for Back2mac? i didnt get it

I AM THE SAME exact way! LOL, I don't know why I keep them. It seems strange, I know I should throw them out, but I just can't! In fact, I have a DRAWER FULL of them! But last week I decided it has gone to far and I started to clean out the drawer. Now I am only going to keep boxes for items I think I might swap. I WISH they took the boxes for recycle! Like 20 boxes for a free lippie or something, LOL. I feel bad to just throw them away so I am going to recycle them, LOL.

It is nice to know I am not the only one!

LOL, I probably have enough to make a statue of some sort. But I am throwing them out. If I had a house with a makeup room, I TOTALLY would do this! LOL. Then I would take a picture of it for all of you, "my people". LOL

Sometimes...depends on the product because of how I store them. Skincare, pencils and lip products - no. E/s, pigments, paints, blushes - yes. However, the products I don't store in the boxes I do keep in the box until the first use.

I keep them ALL, I don't know why but I do. I *WANT* to get rid of them, but I can never bring myself to it. They just sit there, growing and growing...

 

[ilovexnerdsx]

oh man. recently i started cutting them up because i was going to make a collage out of the panels, but that ended up not working so i lost like 20 boxes. i think im going to cry

does anybody keep the mascara ... things? ziploc bag looking things? the word isn't coming to my head right now, and bag doesn't sound right

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

i always keep them and i have no valid reason...i think i try to rationalize with the idea that if i were to trade somone they would want the box...yeah i don't know.

i use to throw them away but recently, have been keeping them. it would be easier if i was going to swapthings and put it in its original box or another one. i know that on LJ, girls use the boxes and make things with them. kinda strange, huh?

 

[joraye]

I keep mine ever since I got a bronzer and it was totally cracked to pieces and had to take it back. I'm now about to move, and I'm throwing away all the boxes for stuff I know I'm keeping. But keeping newer boxes for just a bit. i still have makeup I haven't touched yet....and that's scary!

 

[fairypink]

Yes, I keep all of them in case I need to swap something. I keep boxes from all brands too. I can't bear to throw away a Chanel box.

 

[sewpunk]

I keep some boxes, ditch/recycle others. There is no rhyme or reason.

 

[queenofdisaster]

i used to keep them but they started to overcrowd my underwear drawers so i finally started throwing them out. although i have a few in random places like my backseat and glove box... in my purse... stashed in the closet... i guess its time for some cleaning... lol
