I used to see these little eye shadows at Fred Segal in Santa Monica- back when I had the funds to be, well, shopping at Fred Segal. (sighs.) ANYWAY, let's look at how pretty and cute this packaging is! From what I understand, this line is no longer around. But I am here to pay homage to once was, and that is some very gorgeously feminine make up.Bye bye Pout. I am sad to see you go!






























I am really into packaging and design. It started with breakfast cereal boxes and candy wrappers- I used to save the wrappers and put them all on my big bulletin board. I still have a big stash of Popsicle and candy wrappers from the 80's and that must have been every piece I ever ate, because my mom would only let me eat granola bars and trail mix normally. Anyhow, the love of design stayed with me and when I discovered 'candy' for women, make up, I noticed that much of the packaging was just as delightful. I get the same feeling looking at this make-up as I did my toys, erasers and stickers. Sigh. 

Benefit always has really cute packaging and very witty names for their products. My favorites are their blushes and bronzers that are in these cube boxes with square brushes!


They also have this really cute leopard print bronzer!
Chinese designer Anna Sui has a make up line with a dark look- this line is like, the goth of make up. Regardless, I find the packaging decadent and stunning. I could never throw it away after using it.
