Do you ever buy makeup just for the packaging?

I'm definitely guilty of this. I just bought a YSL rouge volupte lipstick, because the packaging is so darn pretty. I also love the MAC collections, because the packaging is so interesting. I always get compliments on my style warrior and manish arora stuff because of how unique the casings look.

there are some MAC collections with cool packaging and not a colour to suit me, so i pass them by. Fafi is the one that comes to mind most readily.

No, it was NOT me who cried 'wee wee wee wee wee' all the way home.
My sister always tells me that I am a marketing department's dream, because I always fall for the gimmicks. LOL.

I try function over form, but occasionally I leave the path. Like with Urban Decay's Big Fatty? It's so pretty, but honestly I can get a Maybelline Full n Soft for cheaper but much more boring packaging, and it will do the same thing (which is what I'm using these days).

Sidenote: With skin care, the most effective products I've used are in the plainest/ugliest packaging! That's OK -- I sure don't care what a bottle looks like sitting on my bathroom shelf.
No silicones/no sulfates since March 2008
I totally agree with you about skincare. Cetaphil makes my favorite facial cleanser and body moisturizer. Lord knows their packaging is as humdrum as it gets.
