What do you do with beautiful boxes/packaging? Keep it? Toss it?

I like my ads to look like ads to an extent, but I don't want it to be over-the-top and obvious. Women should look like women. softening fine lines are OK in...

What over-hyped beauty product have you found a truly hype-worthy alternative for? One you wish people would obsess over instead?
