Colorful Cubes
A custom compact and a stock secondary carton were supplied for Estée Lauder's Pure Color lip gloss promotional gift set. Like the compacts in the Pure Color line, the clear acrylic gift-set compact is reminiscent of ice cubes. Eachgift-set compact includes four shades of lip gloss, each housed in a custom-colored polypropylene cup. The secondary carton is from the supplier's stock collection. It is a two-piece, clear styrene case with the gold Estée Lauder logo hot-stamped on the lid. A clear vacuum-formed insert holds the compact in place, making it appear as if it were floating.
