If any of you guys have subscription boxes, you'll know how much of a shame it is to bin the boxes once you've had the goodies inside.
I'm currently subscribed to Glossybox and they have some very cute boxes so I like to keep them. However lets face it we cannot just hoard boxes!
So I wanted to tell you guys about some ways in which I have decided to reuse/ recycle my Glossybox boxes.
1. Nail Polish/ Hair Accessory storage.
So here is just a normal Glossybox I've simply thrown out the lid and placed the box into my Ikea Alex drawers.
I noticed when I just put my nail polishes in a drawer they would just fall over or get thrown around whenever I open the drawer. By storing them in a Glossybox they stay in place in the drawer. If you have more polishes than me you could use more Glossyboxes to store them.
Another thing that seems to fly everywhere or move, where ever you put them... hair clips!
You could also store you hair ties & bobby pins in the hope of not losing them (optimistic I know)!
2. Photograph storage.
This box was the Love Edition Glossybox from February. I loved this packaging & just couldn't throw it out.
So what better way to continue the message than to store my polaroid photographs in there!
I haven't got many in there at the moment, I know. I really need to start using my polaroid camera more!
I have kept the lid for this box because polaroid photographs last longer when they are stored away from light. Light bleaches them, causing the colour & details to fade.
I do have some other Glossyboxes I have yet to put to use. To be honest though you could use them to store anything small enough to fit in them and they themselves fit in most drawers.
(The Alex drawers I keep mine in are the smaller more shallow ones.)
They can be a really useful storage system, so don't just throw them out!
This time it's just the standard pink box, still cute but not as nice as last month's box (The Love Edition).
You actually get more in this month's box though, which is always nice.
Four full sized items & two sample sizes. Which is quite the bargain for roughly £10 a box!
Products in the box:
- Naobay Moisturizing Peeling
- Essence Lash Princess mascara
- Sleek Pout Paint in Minx
- NCLA Nail Polish
- Dove Youthful Vitality shampoo
- Dove Youthful Vitality conditioner
In preparation for my holiday (#IBIZA14) I have been buying some things, as you do.
I have already posted a link to a fashion haul that's up on my youtube channel, so I thought I would also post a drugstore one!
I love holidays but there's nothing worse than having to leave essential products at home because you can't fit them in your luggage, hence the very cute mini products that make up this haul.
Products I purchased:
- Halo Eye Make Up Review pads
- Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint
- Soap & Glory Hand Maid hand cleanser
- Maybelline Baby Lips Intense Care
- Sudocrem mini tube
- Tresemme mini hairspray
- Boots own clear travel bottles
- Gilette Satin Care mini shaving foam
- Batiste Radiant & Red dry shampoo
