Pretty Packaging

Hi everyone,

I was browsing the website xovain a few days ago, when I stumbled across a post by Kelly where she talked about the most prettily packaged makeup products in her collection. Taking a page from Kelly, I thought I'd show you some of mine. This may be the post pointless post ever, but I hope that some of you (weird people like me with a passion for pretty makeup) might enjoy it :)

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Mascara

I'm actually not crazy about this mascara itself, but I do love the Elizabeth Arden's gold packaging. It's just so classy.   (It also happens to reflect the camera quite a lot - sorry about that).

Elizabeth Arden Highlighter

Sticking with the Elizabeth Arden theme, this highlighter is lovely.

Max Factor Creme Puff Blush

This blush is so lovely that, as you can see, I haven't actually opened it yet. Any of you who have read this blog for awhile (or even just read some of my Makeup of the Day posts) will notice that most of my blushes/powders/etc inevitably get dropped on the floor and smashed, so I'm a bit scared to open it.

Elizabeth Arden Eyeshadow Palettes

Elizabeth Arden triumphs again!

MAC Alluring Aquatic Lipstick

This is the only lipstick that I've ever bought from a MAC collection, and the packaging is basically why I was drawn to it in the first place (good strategy, MAC). It's just so cool and pretty and it looks like it's wet but its not...its very nice. Moving on...

Lipstick Queen Lipsticks

I think these lipsticks are just unusual looking, they're quite heavy and feel expensive (I got them in a sale, so they weren't that expensive. I really like the yellow and purple combination of Red Saint and the black-but-not-quite-black-sorta-purple colour of Red Sinner.

Kiko Matte and Luscious Cream Lipsticks

These look like the lipsticks of the future. Or lipsticks from space. They're very cool and futuristic. And they're the cheapest thing on this list. I think they were around €6/€7, so bonus.
