Cosmetics: Inside These Walls

*Sigh* There is something so immensely visually satisfying about double-walled cosmetic packaging. (I could just sit here and stare at them all day. Does that make me a total nut case? Y-E-S!) But, until recently, packaging designers were limited to standard double-walled shapes (because of the injection molding process, which I won't get into -- blah, blah, blah, *yawn* Yes, I was a cosmetic developer for several years. How could you tell?)

With newer options becoming seemingly more sophisticated (e.g. tube-in-tube, curved shapes) my makeup bag will continue to 'runneth over' with stuff I don't need but can't bring myself to live without! After all, sometimes looks really are everything ;)
