Expensive Products Editors Can't Live Without
These Are the Small Luxury Beauty Products Our Editors Can't Live Without
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
While many of us at POPSUGAR try to be frugal with what we buy, occasionally we like to treat ourselves to a little bit of luxury. Whether it's an irresistible scent, a product with vanity-worthy packaging, or just something with an effective formula, we asked editors to reveal the pricey products they can't resist repurchasing time and again.
Ahead, you'll discover a shimmery body oil that practically pays for itself, a hand scrub worthy of an Instagram photo, and more small indulgences our editors can't get enough of. While some of them might seem a bit outrageous in price, try them and you might become hooked, too.
Oribe Cote d'Azure Refining Hand Scrub
"The tiny tube of Oribe Cote d'Azur Refining Hand Scrub ($52) smells just as fancy as the brand's signature hair products, only this is the kind of luxury you'd leave in the bathroom when you want to impress guests (a move that comes with a 100 percent guaranteed satisfaction rate — which, in my opinion, makes it worth every penny)." — Kelsey Castañon, senior editor, Beauty
Farmacy Beauty Honey Grail Face Oil
"The luxe Farmacy Beauty Honey Grail Face Oil ($48) feels like a mini facial in a bottle. I apply it every night religiously, right before I moisturize, to really lock in hydration and swear by it for waking up with glowing, radiant skin. It smells deliciously like honey, too, which is a major plus. In my eyes, this oil is liquid gold." — Jessica Harrington, assistant editor, Makeup.com and Skincare.com
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Body & Hand Wash
"While there are plenty of less-expensive options to bathe in than the Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Body Wash ($25), I can't get enough of this invigorating scent. The citrus blend wakes me up, and the chic bottle actually keeps my shower looking nice. It's also hydrating enough that I can skip lotion." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty
Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
"If you think I'm crazy for spending $100 on a glittery body oil, then you've clearly never tried the Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil ($100). It's a super lightweight oil with a slight hint of color that makes my skin shimmer and shine like never before. With notes of amber and sandalwood, it also doubles as a fragrant perfume. I'm obsessed with the subtle glow it leaves behind, which is never too much. Not to mention, it also hydrates my skin, making it soft and smooth. This small luxury pays off." — Lauren Harano, editorial coordinator, Growth and Strategic Features
La Mer The Lip Balm
"I once got a sample of La Mer The Lip Balm ($65) and was ruined forever. This high-end lip treatment is formulated with the brand's iconic Miracle Broth and makes my lips feel softer than anything else. Plus, it smells incredible and never leaves my lips feeling greasy." — SS
Oribe Cote d'Azure Revitalizing Hand Wash
"I got super excited when Barry's Bootcamp started carrying Oribe products. I love the brand's hair products, but I didn't realize I would totally fall in love with the Oribe Cote d'Azure Revitalizing Hand Wash ($36), too. It smells so good and it's so moisturizing, I just can't help myself. I know I'm not alone in loving it either because all my friends love washing their hands at my house." — Krista Jones, associate editor, Shop
