I have a life tip for you guys, which is probably self-evident if you think about it, and you may already be doing it, and it does admittedly fall into the general life advice that is 'reuse the boxes that things come to you in.' But. I consider it very helpful.
If you like Ferrero Rocher, and you like makeup, or things shaped like makeup, then:
Go to CVS or whatever your equivalent is. Buy a package of Ferrero Rocher as you normally would (if you would in fact normally buy them).
Do not get the big flat package. Do not get a small package. Get one of these:
(16ct is always available, 30ct is a Christmas special)
Eat them, or share them, whatever; you are probably getting more bang for your buck than you would with a small pack anyway, so that's nice. After you remove the wrapping, you can get rid of the remaining gold paint with rubbing alcohol.
These are a good height to store lipsticks. I'd go with the 16ct
The 30ct can fit those long eyeshadow palettes from Rimmel, and most of the quads you can get at a drugstore. They are both a good size for most foundations, concealers, primers, general squeeze tubes, eyeliners, lipliners, and so on. They are more than wide enough to stack the single-pan highlighters, bronzers, and blushes.
You are going to end up with plastic packaging any time you purchase these chocolates (and I buy a lot of chocolate), but trust me that these boxes are so good to reuse.
Makeup obviously isn't the only thing that you can store (the 16ct would be great for packs of playing cards, if you collect those), but it's definitely been the most convenient thing I can do with these. I don't like throwing things out, and these boxes are such a good size and shape for things that are makeup sized.
