5 Pretty Products We’re Pining After

by Kate Wolfson

We’re encouraged not to judge books by their covers. Products, on the other hand, are designed with judgy beauty junkies in mind. Whimsical wrapping is just as likely to land a lipstick in our shopping cart as a glowing review. Go ahead, call us shallow.

Feast Your Eyes

Arts & Crafts

Laqa&Co. Gold Fleck Manicure Pen, $16

The two-sided pen applicator means catering to your artistic side doesn't result in major spillage. And that print-happy box it comes in? It's literally a work of art: each one is designed by an up-and-coming artist.

Blink And They're Gone

Paul & Joe Beaute Spring 2014 Cases, $10

These limited edition, completely customizable compacts are inspired by Paul & Joe's Spring 2014 collection. The kitty print might just be the cutest thing to ever grace your makeup bag.

Three's A Charm

Korres Luxury Body Butter trio, $39

What's the only thing better than a luxe body butter swathed in a photorealistic floral tube? 3 luxe body butters swathed in 3 different photorealistic floral tubes, that's what.

The Golden Ticket

Clé de Peau Beauté Luminizing Face Enhancer, $95

This gemstone-inspired compact -- containing a luminescent highlighting powder -- is almost too gorgeous to use. Almost.

Painter's Palette

Make New Medieval Palette, $40

Not for the faint of heart, this matte eye shadow/lip color pairing is more akin to a moody abstract painting than a makeup palette.
