What do you do with your empty boxes

[CeCe bOO13]

I have eye shadows that i keep in their boxes bc i dont wana throw out the boxes lol.. does anyone else do this?

it kind of gets annoying tho taking them out of the package to use em & put em back in

i have all my pigments on a nailpolish rack along with my few tendertones lol they look pretty organized

Most of my shadows are still in their boxes (in alphabetical order

)

 

[Simply Elegant]

I recycle them too.

 

[CeCe bOO13]

i dont have that many to put in alphabetical order lol

 

[hawaii02]

I have at least two Caboodles worth that's why lol

 

[choozen1ne]

All my MAC is in its original boxes , the baskets I use to store my shadows works really well with the boxes stacked up two high and about 9 across
and my blushes are easier to find if I can read the color

I save my empty boxes no matter what in case I want to use them for something.

I used to just recycle them all, but lately I'm keeping some around in an extra drawer I have. Just in case I want to sell/swap them later on down the line, it's convenient to have the boxes, especially for the eyeshadow pro pans.

 

[TheTeenageMuse]

kinda sit on my vanity waiting for me to take them down to the blue bin..

 

[HustleRose]

i save them. incase i sell/swap and item i have a box to put it in.

 

[Sojourner]

I save mine too and put them all in a box so that they are safe and clean, I'm so nuts when it comes to taking care of my makeup that I think the average non-makeup loving person would be horrified and disturbed if they knew...and that's why I don't tell anyone about my sickness

 

[FiestyFemme]

I recycle mine as well. I don't find any reason to keep them!

 

[CeCe bOO13]

lol ahh i need to inquire more make up so i can have a hugee collection

 

[smellyocheese]

I keep my boxes in case I may wanna sell any of my stuff next time. I've used some of my boxes as dividers in my storage containers...

 

[gildedangel]

Ummm, I keep them in several MAC bags. They just sit there, but I can't bear to throw them away lol!

 

[panda0410]

I only keep MSF and MB boxes for some reason... probably for the same reason I keep all their inserts as well, I like the inserts

Everything else gets recycled!

I do, however, keep every single perfume box I get. If the perfume still has product in it, I keep the box. When its finished I throw the box away and pass the bottles on, some of the locals here collect and clean them for resale.

this sounds like me , my makeup gets organized every couple of days , my room is a mess but my makeup in insane order - all shadows are in there boxes lined up neatly in my basket and all names on the boxes are facing the same way - some with blush and pigments
