Here's what I store in them:
1. Lipsticks ~ Bottoms up! So you can see the shades. It can hold about 20 lipsticks.
2. Jewelry ~ Just my pearl necklaces and key chains for now
3. Cotton pads/balls, tissues, Q-tips ~ Transfer your cotton balls/pad from those polythene packets that look out-of-place on your vanity table.
Blushes & lip balms also go in the boxes.
If you stash your makeup randomly in a drawer, you can neatly compartmentalize your drawer using the FR boxes. This will save you a lot of time- no more rummaging through your stuff to get the things you want.
So, what do do with your Ferrero Rocher Chocolate boxes? Please don't tell me you throw them away! =D

i did have one rocher box that i used to store my bracelets, but it broke so i threw it away. i do have two larger chocolate boxes that are made of better plastic. i don't think they'll ever break. the lids are hinged from one side too. thumbs up to sensible storing! i am obsessed with keeping my things neat. :)
ReplyDeleteRima- Oh so cool that yr large ones are hinged too! I have one but don't know if it's hinged coz I haven't opened it. I wish I was obsessed at keeping things neat too...I'm kinda disorganized...well, until I absolutely have to keep everything in order ;p

they are awesome for jewelery storage but break pretty soon. U know the big bog of ferre rochers are good to keep earrings cos they have those small round things in it. u get what i mean :P
ReplyDeleteI keep pens in them :P oh i loveee Ferrero Rocher! I tend to eat the outside bit first then nibble on the nut inside at the end :P
ReplyDeleteI keep my lipsticks that way too! :D
ReplyDeleteEven i use it.....I use the box to store my rings..i store the rings in little plastic box it comes in..and then stores it in the rocher box....

Errr, I think I am the only one who throws away these boxes! lol.. I love the chocolate though :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to store all my makeup in this big see through plastic makeup kit I have, and all tiny things like single eyeshadows & all go in this cotton - jute bag I have :P
I always buy little boxes and pretty containers just for storing all my baubles and stuff.So all other boxes get thrown away :P
ReplyDeleteWe had to make a jewellery box out of old chocolate boxes in school once and my friend used mirrorsa and fringe to make it abso gorgeous.Will try dat wid these boxes maybe
I use them mostly for storing my arty-crafty stuff...but never thought of makeup storage..good idea..
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon ur blog and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about chocolates - I only go for the ones with nuts or wafers & Ferreros are also my fav lol AND i also used the exact same box to store some of my skin care products! :P

I do the same exact thing! So glad I'm not the only one! I use it mainly for mascaras, random jewelry, nailpolishes, storing hair ties/scrunchies, that sort of thing.
ReplyDeletehaha. I do the same. It's so good for storage! :)
