If you’re like us, you’ll hit pan on these 12 shadows — in a mix of matte, satin, and metallic finishes — in no time. But since the inner tray is removable, you’ll never have to part with the floral-patterned palette, which can be used as a small jewelry box or a perhaps inconveniently sized evening bag.
Apply liquid on a dry sponge and it sits on the surface. Apply it on a wet sponge, and it soaks right in. That’s the thinking behind patting on this essence as your first step after cleansing: It helps your skin get the most out of all the stuff that comes after.
We could tell you this powder is so finely milled, it spreads like butter. Or that the fibers of the brush — hand-assembled by a French artisan — are so soft, you could sleep on them. But as with everything packaged in an orange box, luxury is kind of understood, right?

Olay whipped up this formula with moisturizing cocoa butter and manuka honey, then artist Avery Williamson got it all dressed up. The beautiful bottle features her signature abstract work.
​​We still remember how delighted we were when we used micellar water for the first time: How could a makeup remover so lightweight do its job so thoroughly? This new take on Garnier’s original formula gave us that giddy feeling all over again. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and aloe, it not only leaves skin totally cleansed, but softer, too.
