What do you do with your empty boxes

[MelodyAngel]

Haha!! I'm not crazy!! I've been collecting MAC since 2005, and I have ALL the boxes in a GIANT shopping bag!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

I also have tons of perfume, and oddly enough, I have no problem at all throwing those boxes in the bin!

Like everyone else, I can't help but keep my boxes. I wish I had the patience to store everything in their box, but what a pain to take it out every morning!!

Product Boxes or Shipping Boxes? I get rid of the shipping boxes, like outside packaging unfortunately no recycling program here so I either reuse them for something else or they end up in the trash/as a fire starter in the summer.

Product boxes? They're all collapsed and put into elastic bands, I think you're suppose to keep those to B2M when you finish a product, i thought you had to have the box it came in to B2M it...? I got rid of the first ones I had not realising that but I have a whole cupboard full of collapsed boxes from my mac shadows/blushes to search through in the unlikely event that I ever actually use up an entire product. lol

I've been using MAC for 2 years now, and I have enough makeup to last a lifetime the only thing I will ever actually use up is foundation/powder, I have so much different stuff. I guess I will be able to B2M stuff when I accidently put it through the washing machine (has happened more than once!! luckily both times I caught the lipstick before it went into the dryer. That would have been horrible for my clothes, for my dryer, for my heart lol).

You do not need the box to B2M empty product containers.

I keep mine in a plastic bag under my bed. It's nice to have the original box when swapping things, incase the receiver likes to do creative things with them, like you ladies

. Even if it's just a random box, it can help to protect eyeshadow pans in transit (put the pan & bubble wrap in an e/s pot box. Nice and snug.

this is a weird question...i throw them away, just like anything else i'd buy that came in a package.

the only time i've kept them is when i buy extra of something and store the product in the box away until i'm ready to open and use it...and then i throw the box away...lol.

I recycle them.

 

[sss215]

I save them in case i need to return something. depotted shadows and blush boxes i can toss. no returning those.

MAC skin care boxes i keep for the ingredients. once the item is gone, i will toss the box.

SE packaging, i am keeping no matter what.

 

[MissResha]

i keep all of mine because as much money as i've spent on all of this crap, i'm gonna use those boxes to build my fancy black cardboard box so i can live in it when i lose my apartment LMAO

 

[xjslx]

I wish there were something useful to do with them, but unfortunately for now I just toss mine away

 

[beautylush]

I put them as a box.. for decoration.. does this seem weird? I like showing off my babies

The boxes remind me of my achievements lol!

 

[marusia]

If it's for something like pigment samples I give away as gifts? I keep the boxes in case anyone wants to see them. (for authenticity). If it's for me, I toss it as soon as I get the products.

 

[felicianicole]

recycle them

 

[Singmeanything]

I wish I kept my make up in their boxes still because my writing on the pigment jars wearing off. I have a box full of boxes sitting in my closet! For some reason I cannot throw them away/recycle them.
