Same with you, quality is definitely the biggest factor, but a girl is a girl right? We do check out some great looking packaging but it doesn't mean we'll purchase it! I say YES too on convenient packaging, i hate it when packaging is not convenient, i'll end up leaving it behind!AskMeWhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359673503017616620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-57957308800085252302009-10-27T08:46:53.110+08:002009-10-27T08:46:53.110+08:00i came here through jojoba's blog~ :)
anyways...i came here through jojoba's blog~ :)<br /><br />anyways, I have to say that Packaging does nothing for me...maybe when I was 15, but I detest when old products are repackaged into something shiny and new, and LIMITED edition when it's just the same old thing!(*cough cough MAC*...) While I wouldn't mind pulling out something cute from my makeup back, actually I don't really care much...as you said, the quality is still the most important factor - as long as the packaging is easy to open/close/leak proof, it's all good. sometimes the stuff is good but it's hard to open (benefit brow zings? or is it just because I'm too clumsy? hehe)Elizabeth Chang (Skyla Arts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08962886613534902029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-21011910888729724772009-10-25T23:07:26.618+08:002009-10-25T23:07:26.618+08:00Sesame , thanks for sharing your thoughts!Sesame , thanks for sharing your thoughts!AskMeWhatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359673503017616620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-56050856489968780612009-10-25T17:39:11.341+08:002009-10-25T17:39:11.341+08:00I was thinking about this the other day too - I th...I was thinking about this the other day too - I think it does appeal to the right brains.

Whether or not this is for cosmetics, advertising plays the biggest role. Since I was in advertising too, first impressions last, they create a recall. I am guilty of this even though I know advertising is false. Haha I am a sucker for great packages, but overall. What sells me over the packaging is the power of TESTING/TESTERS. <br /><br />But importantly packaging especially in cosmetics just gives you confusion and frustration because it becomes the "it" thing or "pop culture" in relation to society. But yet again I am guilty. hahaCabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145062094422048953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63516585787986520.post-51573053364562552452009-10-23T23:24:26.230+08:002009-10-23T23:24:26.230+08:00Chelle, same here, reading reviews are vital befor...Chelle, same here, reading reviews are vital before I purchase anything! :)<br /><br />B, I remembered your post my dearie!

I am usually swept away with great packaging, but before I purchase the goodies I make sure I read reviews first to see if the product comes with great quality and not just for show. For example I read your review on Urban Decay's book of shadows before buying.
