What do you do with your empty boxes

[Honey xOo]

i keep them for a day or two just becuase it gives me that brand new makeup feeling whenever i look at them lol. somebody has to know what i mean lol. then they end up in the recycling bin!

 

[cookayhaikoo]

I bought two storage tubs from walmart. In one I have the boxes from eye shadows, liners, etc; the other has all the other boxes. I just love keeping them. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside for some reason..

Probably because I just started getting into MAC a few months ago, so I'm proud I can finally "afford it" *cough cough* and happy at the same time, and I must keep it all!!

 

[SUMM3RxBABii]

I usually just store them but recently, I've noticed it has taken up a lot of room and I have no use for them so I threw some of them out

 

[MsHielo]

I've recycled most of my boxes, but I still have a handful lying around from recent purchases.

Glad to know that I'm not the only person that keeps my boxes. This is year 10, I have tons. The accountant in me, never allows me to throw out receipts.

 

[Makeup Emporium]

I just recycle them. I'm always yelling at my hubby to throw out his electronics boxes that have taken over the basement so I have to practice what I preach!!

 

[nullified]

I keep mine incase I wanna do something crafty with them. I have used some of them by cutting the in half and taping them together to store stuff in.

Mine get taped shut and turned into items in my cousin's "shop"
She likes anyone who will entertain her game to buy them from her for a few pence, open the pack and go "Oh.. there's nothing in there"

She likes empty mini cereal and tomato puree packages too.

Oh, and she keeps your money.

Do you also find you get vague worries when you see a receipt on the floor even like out in town?

I'm mainly attracted to parking stubs.

I recycle them... after watching Hoarders I always really think twice if I'll ever use something like an empty box. Haha

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Haha glad I am not the only one who keeps them

I had them in all sorts of crazy places though, so I went and collected them up yesterday and this is them all together.. Now I dont know what to do with them

 

[gachapin_luv]

Wow - gasp...

me too

 

[Junkie]

I save all of mine too - it looks pretty similar to that heap above! lol

They're all neatly arranged in a jig saw puzzle in a larger box that I keep hidden from my hubby...if he only knew! Hahaha!

I kinda want to make a giant collage out of them and hang it on my wall in a frame.

 

[AmberElizabeth]

I have some flattened and stuffed into a giant MAC bag. I also still have one of the packages that my Holiday 2008 pigment set came in.

I don't know why, either.

 

[PurpleOrchid]

If they're limited edition, I keep em'. For example, the Hello Kitty boxes? Too cute to throw away! Same with the A-Mei eyeshadow trio box from back in January of 2008

 

[Brittany88]

I only have a few MAC products, but so far I've kept the boxes. I don't really know what I plan to do with them, or if I'll eventually throw them away. But I agree, they give you that "new makeup" feeling every time I see them.

 

[sweetkitty]

I don't have a huge MAC makeup collection, so I have kept all my boxes for now. I keep some shadows in their boxes, until I depot them.

 

[CeCe bOO13]

i have 15 palette and prob should depot my eye shadows to put them in it, but idk how to depot im scared lol
