Are you a sucker for a nice package?

That’s beauty packaging, of course! Get your mind out of the gutter…
That and more in The Lipstick League, week of 6.26.17
Question of the Week: Have you ever bought a beauty product solely for the packaging?
Answer: Why yes, I do it all the time! Being a graphic designer and all-around lover of pretty things, I am constantly wooed by beauty packaging. Once of my favorite companies for packaging is Hourglass, like the gorgeous Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette shown above. Luckily, their products are as fab inside as out.
Here’s what was up with the League last week…

we heartsters – Have you ever bought a beauty product solely for the packaging? Share it in the comments! (We won’t judge.)
Yuppers, I do it all the time.. I love when everything is good on the inside too.. Sometimes it’s not.. but that’s pretty rare!
Packaging is 99% of the selling point.. only sometimes it’s just the opposite but we’ll take those odds!
A huuuuuge sucker for both beautiful packaging and limited edition products.
Yes! In fact I am way more likely to buy again if I love packaging. If packaging seems cheap or boring, it doesn’t keep me coming back, unless I really love the product.
