Does beautiful packaging sway you when it comes to beauty products?

Just for fun discussion -

I've definitely been drawn to beautiful packaging lately..I think it's a bonus if the product is a good product to begin with. Do you pay attention to the packaging?{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

Seldom. After a while, it's really meaningless if the product doesn't deliver, and more importantly, I don't want to pay for the fancy jar.

I can think of some wonderful products that are plain and simple and do the job!

No. The product itself, is more important than how they package it. In fact, I would rather they give us less "frou-frou" packaging, for a better price point.

Yes, I do. I like Chanel cosmetics and fragrance because of the packaging.

Skin care, less so but I still like packaging to be attractive..

Packaging doesn't bother me. Some of the best deals come in plain, nondescript packages.

Not really, although if I have one leg over the fence, it can help to push me over.

For most people it does IMHO, that's why cosmetic companies spend tons of money on designs, and people buy them. For me, no. But I do love a pretty perfume bottle...I don't buy them, but I admire them.

Absolutely. I used to be a big Guerlain makeup fan because of the gorgeous packaging. Remember Meteorites? And I rebought over and over a lovely Guerlain lipgloss that was made up of five different layered colors that showed through the tube. The colors never got mixed together no matter how much product I used. How they managed that is still a beautiful mystery to me.

A luxe but not overpowering scent can make a difference to me too.

Nowadays I sometimes buy Dior lip products because they work so well and they look so nice.
