Buying because of the cute packaging?

I am a big sucker for cute packaging. No wonder cosmetic companies spend billions on how to market and package their products. 

I like MAC products and when they come up with limited edition products with amazing packaging, I'm in. Yes, I'm that shallow :(


Aphrodite's Shell (extra dimension bronzer)

MAC has released its summer collection called Alluring Aquatic Collection. Just by looking at the press pictures a few months back sucked me into wanting the collection.



Isn't the packaging cute? It resembles water droplets. 


The bronzer comes in an aqua compact with water droplets on the edge. Absolutely beautiful packaging.



Aphrodite's Shell is described as golden bronze with a hint of shimmer. Unlike other extra dimension blushes/highlights, this limited edition bronzer is not glittery. 



It is a soft brown with tiny bits of shimmer which is more noticeable in the pan than when swatched. To me, it has a slight pink undertone which I think is good so I could use it sometimes as blush as well as contouring. 

Are you into cute packaging of beauty products?

  1. You're right...that packaging is fabulous. I would buy that just for the name. Who doesn't want the color of Aphrodite's Shell in her collection? Although...I never thought of her shell as brown. :) This collection and the stuff they released for Maleficent make me wish I could wear MAC.

    1. I am totally sucked into the beautiful packaging of this collection. Aphrodite's Shell is pretty nice but it is a bit too light for my NC30 to use as contouring. I am now using this as an overall face bronzer to warm up my complexion.

    1. I want a couple of lipsticks from the collection but they are sold out online. I may have to try my luck in stores. The packaging is just too cute to pass.

    1. I am the same way. Even though this collection didn't excite me too much in terms of shades and color payoff, I am totally sucked into the cute packaging and want to get a few more lipsticks.
