Oscars Gift Bag 2023: Beauty Products and Liposuction
Oscar Nominees Are Leaving With $20K Worth of Beauty Swag
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.
We don't know about you, but we have always wondered what's inside the gift bags at major award shows. Year after year we've asked ourselves: what could possibly be good enough for some of the biggest stars in the world? Or, probably more accurately: what products do they not already have? With award season ramping up and the Oscars just a few days away, we finally have the answer. After seeing the products in the Oscars gift bag, we don't know if we're happy that our curiosity is finally satisfied or jealous that we can't get one, too.
This year's swag bag — technically called the "Everyone Wins" Nominee Gift Bags, since it's not affiliated with the Oscars or Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — is stacked with high-ticket items. From a $10,000 certificate for cosmetic treatments to a three-night getaway in Ischia, Italy and even a year's worth of foundation and concealer, the freebies are nothing to scoff at. Because we are who we are, we had to keep a keen eye out for all the beauty gifts that nominees will be receiving — and let's just say you may want to consider a career change after you see all the goods included.
Of the total value of the gift bag — a smooth $100,000 at minimum — the beauty-related gifts alone add up to more than $20,000. If you need to know to what post-award-show beauty treatments await each nominee, keep reading for the most notable beauty-related gifts in the 2023 Oscars gift bag.
Benigna Parfums The Royal Essence Collection
Featuring seven perfumes inspired by seven royal families around the world, the Benigna Parfums The Royal Essence Collection is worth a whopping $3,555.
Plastic Surgery Gift Card For Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich
If they're looking for a post-award-season refresher, the $10,000 gift card to see Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich for their treatment of choice may come in handy.
Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation
It's no surprise that the Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation ($66) is included — it's a cult classic. With a year's supply of product offered in this gift bag, nominees won't ever run out of their favorite makeup product.
The brand is also teaming up with two aesthetic doctors — including Beverly Hills-based Jay Calvert, MD, and Fort Lauderdale-based Shino Bay Aguilera, MD — to provide each nominee with the Potenza microneedling treatment, which typically costs between $750 to $1,000 depending on the area treated.
Art Lipo Celebrity Arms Treatment
If an arm-sculpting session has been on the to-do list, nominees will have a certificate for the Celebrity Arms treatment at Art Lipo. The exact price of this gift certificate is not disclosed on its website, but the cost of the treatment typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000.
Serucell KFS Cellular Protein Complex Serum
The Serucell KFS Cellular Protein Complex Serum ($225) contains over 1,500 bioactive proteins, collagens, and peptides for healthy skin from within.
