Packaging is out of hand these days

So I was at Costco the other day, and ran across the Kirkland by Borghese Mineral Color Collection. Looked like a nice makeup set at a reasonable price ($25.99 in the store), so I bit.

It came in this package

It took me forty-five goddamn minutes to get all the lil jars and brushes out of this freaking plastic packaging, including the use of an X-acto knife and a scissors. But that's not all! Once freed from this sarcophagus of a package, each little jar had not one, but TWO pieces of teeny tiny tape sealing them shut. AND, there is also a little plastic seal inside each jar that I had to use a hemostat to remove.

Costco, is this absolutely necessary? I might understand if it was poison or a firearm I was trying to liberate from this packaging, but this is freaking MAKEUP!!! Whoever designed this needs to be encased in it without food or water and attempt to free themselves.
