Vanity Flair: Beauty Products So Pretty You'll Want To Keep Them On Display
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pha+Bha Pore-Tight Toner, $52
The gentle exfoliating, PHA- and BHA-infused watermelon toner works to hydate while minimizing the appearance of pores for supple, smooth skin over time. Simply glide the viscous-like formula over your face for a slick, slippery finish, and a watermelon scent that comes highly addictive — truly a treat for all your senses.
Its tall pink, organically shaped glass bottle was also designed to be repurposed after use... A vase for your flowers, maybe?
Chanel La Crème Main, $87
You might've already seen this hand cream dotted over instagram, thanks to its adorable egg-shaped packaging. But it also comes ergonomically designed: it fits smoothly in your palms, and squeezes just the right amount of cream out each time — you'll never have to wipe excess away again.
The formula contains age-reversing botanical alfalfa concentrate and brightening natural licorice extract to nourish and restore hands, for a silky smooth, grease-free finish.
Gucci Beauty Fluide De Beauté Fini Naturel – Natural Finish Fluid Foundation, $100
Yes, there's the pretty packaging Gucci Beauty is so well known for: millenial pink lid, frosted bottle, gold font... But there's a lot to shout about its formula, too: a buildable, medium coverage liquid foundation that glides smoothly and evenly over skin for a satin, glowy finish, blurring away all imperfections.
Byredo 5 Colour Compact In Corporate Colours, $110
Sometimes, all you need are some reliable favourites. This eyeshadow compact comes in everyday neutral eyeshadow shades in shimmery and matte, and comes easily blendable for an understated yet elegant look. Plus, we're in love with its organically shaped, gilded case.
Bvlgari Allegra Riva Solare Eau De Parfum, $375
If you can't vacation at the Italian Riviera right now, this sparkling citrus fragrance may be the next best thing. The Riva Solare comes with notes of bergamot, orange flower and musk to have you feeling like you're living it out in a chic beach cafe. The uniquely shaped coloured glass bottle (and cap) is an ode to the Roman columns of Bvlgari's birthplace, with golden glass to reflect the sun, and azure body to recall the sea.
Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo, $70
Add a little luxury to your haircare routine with this rejuvenating shampoo, which contains healing oils, extracts and Oribe’s bio-restorative complex to defend, nourish and strengthen, in a plastic case that is equally as luxurious as its contents.
La Prairie Platinum Rare Haute Rejuvenation Protocol, $2,960
This powerhouse serum is the latest to join the Swiss skincare's Platinum Rare Collection, a month-long treatment (designed to be used four times a year) to help recaliberate the skin. Housed in a trio of amethyst glass bottles, the formula contains an ultra-luxurious cocktail of the brand’s signature Exclusive Cellular Complex and three peptides that promises to awaken skin and compensate for loss and degradation that comes with age.
