These Award-Winning Luxury Beauty Products Have Been Vetted Twice Over

It’s gone viral with the TikTok girlies and stock finally appears to have stabilized, so what are you waiting for? Get your hands on the Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand, a light-as-air, creamy bronzer/contour that melts into your skin via a cushion-like applicator for a natural-looking sculpted effect.

Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick

Available in four very wearable color schemes — Desert Fox, Insolent Rose, Nude Dip, and Honeymoon — Tom Ford Eye Color Quads are the perfect travel-friendly eye shadow palettes to toss into your purse or carryon for soft, everyday or bold, nighttime-ready looks anytime, anywhere. 

For those who enjoy a stick foundation formula, Westman Atelier’s Vital Skin Foundation Stick (available in 21 shades) was made for you. This luxuriously creamy formula gives your complexion a subtle boost and a healthy amount of coverage without looking or feeling heavy, cakey, or all-around uncomfortable. Some skin-loving ingredients worth calling out are camellia seed oil and vegetable-derived squalane, which lock in moisture all day long.

Shani Darden Lactic Acid Exfoliating Serum

Shani Darden is one of our favorite esthetician-owned brands, in case you didn’t know, and the Lactic Acid Exfoliating Serum is proof. This powerful pore-clogging formula employs nine percent lactic acid — a type of AHA that is a bit more gentle than glycolic acid because of its smaller molecules — to speed up the process of cell turnover. Fear not of irritation because four weights of hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and green tea extracts ensure your skin stays calm and soothed all night long.

If you’re a fan of gel manicures, you should know when to give your nails a break and some TLC. Dry cuticles are no match for Tenoverten’s The Rose Oil, which strengthens weak and brittle fingernails with its nourishing concoction of antioxidant-rich vitamin E, emollient rose flower oil, and horsetail extract for the ultimate dose of moisture.

Homecourt Steeped Rose Kitchen Trio

Courtney Cox launching a home-care brand probably wasn’t in our 2022 bingo card, but Homecourt has quickly exceeded all of our expectations, despite being a category we don’t cover as much as, say mascara and lipstick. While the exact Steeped Rose Tray Set isn’t sold at Violet Grey, the luxury retailer comes pretty darn close with the Steeped Rose Kitchen Trio. Spiked with the same freshly-picked rose scent, this trio of hand wash, dish soap, and surface cleaner covers all of your kitchen needs, whether it’s wiping down a mess on the stovetop or making sure your hands are sparkling clean after an intense dishwashing session.
