Just like the best masterpieces do not deserve to be hidden in private collections, these skincare and beauty products were made to be seen and admired.
PASSIONFRUIT PAVLOVA BATH BOMB, AHHH
$7.99
Ahhh’s handcrafted bath bombs, scrubs, shampoo bars and moisturisers are the next level irresistible – you either want to stare at them for ages or eat them all at once. For the latter, blame the talented hands of founder Sophie Cooper and the delicious names like Coco Lime Lollipop, Peach Smoothie or Raspberry Marshmallow.
PLUM PLUMP HYALURONIC SERUM, GLOW RECIPE
$74
A perfect example of the beauty world’s very own pop art, this serum hydrates and protects the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Available at MECCA Maxima.
FLEUR DE PEAU PERFUMED BROOCH, DIPTYQUE
$186
Spraying fragrance on your skin is so outdated! The latest ‘it-thing’ are exquisite Diptyque brooches inspired by Renaissance perfume jewellery. Hiding behind thedelicate gilded exterior is a little perfumed ceramic tablet that diffuses the musky, wispy notes of Fleur de Peau and lasts about a month. Available at MECCA Maxima.
KAREN MURRELL LIPSTICKS
$32
Karen Murrell believes that a woman dressed up in beautiful lipstick can brighten a room like a bouquet of fresh blooms. We, in turn, believe that her lipsticks, dressed up in packaging like that, deserve a special shrine or a prime spot in a museum.
ME.
The brand’s moto is literally ‘Don’t hide Me’. Attractive packaging of tampons, liners and pads is made from recyclable cardboard, all wrappers and sleeves are biodegradable and the products themselves contain only the best quality certified organic cotton and performance-based raw materials.
MEGAGLO HIGHLIGHTING POWDER, WET N WILD
$12.99
How anyone can touch the flower-print surface of this highlighter with an offending makeup brush is a question yet to be answered, although the silky smooth texture and pearly finish might be worth it.
