If you’re anything like us, the last piece of gold that graced your palm was probably when you grudgingly handed over your last $2 for a small latte.
We know times are tight – no one will let us forget – but who needs real gold when you can have this beauty swag that looks like it costs a bomb but in reality doesn’t? Cha-ching.
1. Musq Mineral Makeup Precious Metals Pencils
These pencils are precious indeed. No one trick wonder, they can be used as a shimmery eyeshadow, eyeliner or to accent the brow or cheekbone. Gold is obviously our hue of choice.
2. Vani-T Krush Minerals Liquid Radiance – Luminiser Serum in Moon & Stars
This golden luminiser gives skin an instant boost with its cocktail of iridescent elements that banish dull, tired skin. Containing jojoba oil, vitamin E and shimmering light reflective particles, the serum sure has a magical Midas touch about it.
3. Clinique Aromatics Elixir Body Wash
This shimmering gold gel makes showering a dream come true. As it lathers and washes the body, wafts of Aromatics Elixir fragrance float around. Dreamy and steamy; you’ll think you’re in an episode of Grey’s!
4. Mariah Carey M by Mariah Carey GOLD Deluxe Edition
The gold dipped bottle of the original parfum (which is all Tahitian tiare flower, warm marshmallow and Moroccan incense/amber accord) is very Bond girl indeed. Ready and waiting James.
5. Crabtree & Evelyn Hearth Pillar Candle
This classic, ivory pillar candle has a burn time of 50 hours. We could watch the golden gift for much longer though.
6. Bloom Nail Polish in Goldie
The queen of Nail polishes earned even more brownie points in our eyes when she opened up the naming and shading of polishes to us mere mortals. Goldie, the new It colour, was named after Goldie F. from East St Kilda. Now no one will tell you off for dipping your hands (and toes) in the honey pot.
7. Redken 5th Avenue NYC – Haircare Blonde Glam Fresh Gold
This deep conditioner helps enrich warm tones to refresh, brighten and enhance warm blonde highlights while adding multi-dimensional shine. It also looks pretty as a picture in the shower and makes us want to go blonde.
8. Inika Mineral Cosmetics Vegan Lip Glosses
What more could a girl ask for than four mini, all-natural, vegan lip glosses in Allure (peachy pink), Sassy (raspberry), Flutter (pearl) and Sizzle (coppery gold) which are encased in a gold compact with mirror? Nothing.
a very pretty look
