Elegant and Cute packaging but yet functional at the same time.

In permanent products like for example Mac eyeshadow in “all that glitters”, I don’t care that its a basic black packaging because its a permanent and the Mac is inexpensive. However if its a holiday set or a new collection I do expect prettier packaging from Mac. The only time I expect really pretty packaging is from lines like Ysl, Chanel,and Estee Lauder and etc, because those brands cost more so its nice to have really pretty packaging to have as part of my collection.

I like modern and sleek and ergonomically friendly for ease of use, ie opening and closing. Something that is easy to clean too.

I really hate lip colors that come in the same packaging as eyeshadows. I just don’t buy them even if I like the colors. I don’t like colorful packaging unless there is a theme going on which doesn’t look cheap like MAC Dame Edna collection for example. I also think that UDPP and Too Faced packaging is tacky so I never buy their products even if I really like and want the colors. I also think that Laura Mercier and Tarte has boring packaging so I really don’t buy their stuff either. I’m into packaging as well as the quality of the product that comes in it, but that’s just me.

Easy to use. As long as it’s not going to take me 5+ minutes to get the packaging open, then I don’t really care what it looks like. It can be ugly as hell, as long as the product itself is good and the packaging is easy to use I’m fine with it.
It also has to be effective for the product. So, if the packaging just doesn’t seem to be useful for what the product inside is, then I will likely not buy it.

le sigh… really? am i the only one that’s going to say it? lol. RECYCLABLE or REUSABLE.

if a package is made of something that i can’t recycle (or give back to the manufacturer: back 2 mac) that will knock SERIOUS points off.

if a product comes in a package that is actually re-usable, then as long as it’s something i want, i’m all over it.

cute or funky packaging is neat to look at, but it usually won’t sway my decision much – if at all.
