We all have that one product (or several) that's just so gosh-darn beautiful that we can't quite bear to take it out of the box. It's so pretty that you almost — almost, being the key word — don't even want to use it. That said, you almost inevitably do, and you always get a little extra boost of joy from its beauty. (And it's a gorgeous addition to any Instagram story; though maybe that goes without saying.)
With that in mind, we've scoured the web to find some of the most beautiful-looking beauty products out there — and don't worry, they don't cut back on performance just because they're pretty. Sure, we encourage you to share these products all over your feed, but make sure you use them too: They're just as good when slathered onto your skin as they are in the bottle, trust us.

If you've ever shopped at Lush, you know that most of its products are almost too beautiful to use — but the beauty doesn't stop once you do. In fact, many of the brand's products are more beautiful when in use (most notably, the bath bombs). This lovely soap delivers cleanliness and hydration to the skin using fair trade organic cocoa butter, extra virgin coconut oil and almond milk, all while smelling like your favorite summer treat.
This lightweight, illuminating primer serum goes onto the skin before your foundation and will glow as much on your skin as it does in the bottle. It's formulated with photo-reflecting ingredients plus hydrating ingredients like vitamin B5 and glycerin for the perfect glide-your-makeup-on surface. Trust us, it's a unicorn's dream.
The wear-anywhere glitter gelee is not only the most unique consistency but is a truly unique product in general. The glitter gel can be used anywhere; whether you want a dewy, shimmery glow on your lids, or you're heading to a festival and want to apply this at your roots. Either way, twelve hours later, you won't be disappointed, with this gloss still perfectly in place.
Not only is the jar full of these single-use scrubs incredibly cute to look at, but the product itself is also a total game changer. Created using sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and sunflower seed oil, grab one of the single "truffles" — as the brand calls them — squish it in your hand, and gently massage onto your skin in the shower or bath.
