Is this considered hoarding?

For the past few months, I got really into this makeup brand and I’ve kept all the packaging that I’ve received from them because it’s very pretty. It’s not your typical packaging style and it looks really nice. I figured that I want to do something with it or make something out of that.

The makeup itself is pretty expensive so I wanted to find ways to incorporate the packaging into things — but seeing it kind of made me question if it is hoarding #shareyourthoughts #advice

... Read moreHoarding can be a complex issue, often confused with simply cherishing items like makeup packaging. Many enthusiasts collect aesthetically pleasing packaging for its artistic value and potential for reuse. If you're passionate about beauty and want to keep the packaging, consider these ideas: 1. **Craft Projects**: Use the packaging in DIY projects. You can create unique organizers, wall art, or gift wraps. 2. **Display**: If the packaging is visually appealing, display it as decor. Choose a stylish shelf where it can be admired instead of hidden away. 3. **Recycling**: If you believe the items no longer serve a purpose, recycle them responsibly. 4. **Limit Keeping**: Set limits on how much packaging to keep. For instance, choose your favorite designs and let go of the rest. 5. **Share**: Offer beautiful packaging to friends or fellow enthusiasts who might appreciate them. Understanding the fine line between collecting and hoarding is crucial. If it brings you joy and doesn’t overwhelm your space, it’s likely just a collection!

As a makeup collector as well no it’s not considered hoarding now if you keep every container from every piece of makeup you buy, including your every day foundation that you like re-buy and everything that’s hoarding, but it’s just this special brand or collection thats fine your a collector. Collectors keep boxes ❤️

U could definitely reuse the bigger ones as gift boxes. Depending on how big the logos are, slap a gift label overtop and reuse the little ones too. U could definitely do a stacked decor thing (think those suitcases on Pinterest) or just for cute storage
