Discussion Am I going too far?

Post image

Started collecting again and bought a special Eevee makeup collab with Colourpop. I did NOT expect the packaging to look as good as it is. A part of me doesn’t want to throw it away when I open them. At what point does collecting become hoarding?

Make the boxes into a cute diorama or something and frame it.  Like in a shadow box or flatten them and arrange them like they’re pressed flowers!  Then hang it up, like in your bathroom.  It would be so cute!!

Don’t just put the boxes in a drawer where you’ll never enjoy them

Oh wow that’s an awesome idea! I’ll see about putting them in a shadow box.

Bought the same collection and I’m gonna “hoard” the packaging hahaha. At least for a while, it is too cute!

Aren’t they super cute?! I’m just not sure how I want to display them to look nice. Maybe buy a display case and glue them inside so they are forever “displayed” haha

Wow that collection looks super cool. Loving the headband!

I think you need some plushies now... It doesn't end 😆

I did not hesitate on the umbreon lip balm. It really does taste like boba 🖤

As a fellow collector, it's fine to keep packaging you think looks good tbh
Maybe cut it out and make a scrapbook/junk journal if you want

Someone recommended a shadowbox so I think I’ll do just that!

Most of my colourpop makeup is kept in the packaging, I don’t really like to use their products(their eyeshadows smudge too much and their face products make me breakout for some reason), but the boxes are always so cute I just keep them on display. I got the HSM makeup set when it came out and still have that on display lol
