Gift ideas for the new year: the most unusual cosmetics
Thunderstorm perfume, cat lipstick and George Washington nose – this is not the whole list of the weirdest beauty gifts that you should pay attention to.
It would seem that summer just ended yesterday, and already the middle of November. So, it’s time to think about New Year’s gifts. So that you do not rack your brains for a long time, Woman’s Day has selected the most unusual cosmetics. If you want to really surprise, you have to prepare in advance – most of the participants on our list need to be ordered. So choose as soon as possible to have time to put it under the Christmas tree!
1. Means for lips with an appetizing scent
Lip balms are needed by everyone. Everyone had sticks, washers, balls, and you will not be surprised with such a gift. It is all the more easy to find a sea of gourmet products. For example, a balm with a cheeseburger flavor. Is it trite? Then bacon in maple syrup. Looking for a gift for a vegetarian? Give the balm with the scent of pickled cucumber. Does a friend appreciate good wine? There are glitters and lipsticks in wine bottles and balms in small wine glasses.
Price: from 200 rubles.
2. Cosmetics in the form of cats
“Well, who doesn’t love cats?” – thought the founders of the French brand Paul & Joe Beauty and released a whole line of products for cat lovers. Cosmetics, eyeshadows, blush, powders … True, it’s a pity to use. To put “kittens” under the Christmas tree, you need to take care of it in advance and order it on the Internet, you can’t find it in Russian stores yet.
Price: from 800 rubles.
3. Perfume with the smell of a book binding or a thunderstorm
Another gourmet gift. Sweet floral or fruity compositions are good, but nothing interesting. Whether it is a perfume with the smell of a book binding, a barbecue, a thunderstorm, the Caribbean Sea, the Great Barrier Reef or a baby. You can mix fragrances right on yourself and smile proudly in response to compliments about the perfume.
Price: from 750 rubles.
Giving complex scents is dangerous: you never know if a person will like the perfume you have chosen. But the eau de toilette in its original packaging will definitely fit on the dressing table, whatever the smell. We warn you right away: the one who opened the gift wrapping will not understand you right away. Why should you give window cleaner for the New Year? But lovers of fresh aromas should like Fresh perfume.
Too risky? There is a softer option – the cutest teddy bear This is not a toy. True, to perfume, you have to unscrew the plush friend’s head.
Price: from 2500 rubles.
At the end of October, fast food lovers rejoiced – KFC said that they would release a bath bomb with the smell of fried chicken. The only problem is that you can’t buy it. It is difficult to get it for free, at least you need to live in Japan (they only distribute inedible chicken there). But do not get upset, the stores are already full of original bath stuff. Choose – bombs that will turn water into jelly and liquid gold, or soap that you can sculpt from like plasticine?
Price: from 300 rubles.
One-to-one alginate masks are similar to yogurt, especially since manufacturers pack the product in similar jars. But you can’t eat a cream with a berry aroma. But the skin will say thank you – the mask will smooth it out and give it shine in just 15 minutes. It is surprising that the next appetizing novelty was not invented by the Koreans – the English biochemist Moore Stanford guessed to extract alginate from algae.
Price: from 100 rubles.
The eternally awake melancholic yolk of Gudetam with its bacon blanket is a great love of all Asians. So the series, which the Koreans of Holika Holika released for the sake of experiment, took root and entered the main line of the company. No wonder, because the yellow baby is so cute, and we understand him so well in the morning. The series contains almost everything you need for girlish happiness – creams, serums, micellar water, cushions, blush, tints and lip oils, dry shampoos.
Price: from 600 rubles.
8. Cream in the form of a fur seal or a panda
If your friend does not leave home without hand cream in her purse, and she also loves animals, this option is definitely yours. Etude House’s lineup includes cream penguin, panda, fur seal and pink dolphin. All the mercies are not only for fun – the company sends part of the proceeds from the sale of money to help endangered species of animals.
Price: 570 rubles.
9. Soap that attracts cats
Surprised? We, too. But if your friend can’t make friends with the jealous cat of his new girlfriend, there is a chance for the guy to help. The manufacturers swear that after a bath with this soap you will definitely not be left without the company of a couple of felines. Everything works simply, no magic – instead of the usual fresh aromas, the soap smells like cat food.
Price: 420 rubles.
10. George Washington’s nose
Any part of the human body, packed in a box, can be intimidating, but we promise: the soap in the form of the nose of the first popularly elected President of the United States will only delight your friend – a history buff. The work of art for the baths was invented by Los Angeles-based designer Piero Golia. I had to sweat – first the master copied the nose from Rushmore, the mountain of four American presidents, and only then made a mold for the soap. The staff at the Gagosian Gallery in New York liked the product, so the gift will come straight from there.
Price: from 3000 rubles.
Of course, you can’t eat it, although you really want to. Many brands have palettes of shadows in the form of chocolates, especially since brown colors are the most popular and demanded. The sweetest palette is Too Faced’s Chocolate Bar – the eyeshadow is made from cocoa powder and smells like chocolate. It is appetizing even to read the names of the shades – amaretto, marzipan, crème brulee …
Price: from 3000 rubles.
Eleven roses under the tree will look strange until the recipient of the gift comes closer. Flowers, like the rest of this collection, are not at all what they seem. Everyone is already used to petal soap, but spa bouquets are made from delicate cream or bath oils. Firstly, such a gift will not fade, and secondly, a bath with rose petals will not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also beneficial for the skin.
Price: from 3000 rubles.
13. Candies that change body odor
It is impolite to give a deodorant, and such sweets will definitely not offend anyone. One Deo Perfume Candy from the Bulgarian manufacturer Alpi – and you smell of roses. This is not witchcraft, but rose oil with geraniol – the substance is not broken down in the body and is released along with sweat. The dangers are even smaller than with conventional deodorants, which block perspiration.
Price: from 300 rubles apiece.
Many Russians have never even heard of such a curiosity, but in Japan or South Korea, you can buy scotch tape for eyelids at any cosmetic store. An adhesive strip tightens the upper eyelid for a day’s blepharoplasty. Owners of a European eye shape will not be interested, but for girls with an overhanging eyelid, it will do.
Price: from 80 rubles.
Few things can be more original than packing chicken eggs under the tree (especially in the last days of the Rooster year). Those that we offer cannot be cooked or eaten. Tony Molly Eggs are a very popular pore cleansing soap in Europe and Asia. Wash with white ovals during the day, dark in the evening.
Price: from 600 rubles for a pack of two.
