Like pretty packaging but don’t want to compromise on the quality of your skincare and makeup? Look no further!

1/7
Klarity
Lasertox Miracle White CC Lotion SPF30/PA++, RM121 (via Sephora)
The only CC lotion you’ll need if you’re looking to achieve a radiant, youthful-looking complexion. Infused with ingredients like wild rose hip and illuminating diamond powder to ensure brighter and smoother skin, this is one pretty little tube you’ll want to keep on hand on your vanity tabletop. It’s even SPF30/PA++, so you get to skimp on the face sunscreen if you’re short on time.
2/7
SK-II
Cellumination Aura Essence, RM927 (via Sephora)
The price is worth the effectiveness of this skin brightening lightweight serum. Say sayonara to dull and uneven skin and embrace a healthier, more radiant looking complexion. We’re also in love with the pearly, opalescent sheen that the Aura Essence’s bottle has - a powerful product in pretty packaging? Count us in!
3/7
Zoeva
Rose Golden Luxury Set, RM494 (via Sephora)
As far as makeup brush sets go, this one takes the cake. With an essential range of 8 rose golden brushes plus a handy brush clutch to store your set in, this is the only set you’ll need to achieve your flawless makeup looks. Feel like a complete professional with these chic tools; each set contains a powder brush, silk finish brush, face shape brush, luxe sheer cheek brush, concealer brush, soft definer brush, petit crease brush, and wing liner brush.
4/7
Benefit Cosmetics
Roller Lash, RM115 (via Sephora)
Designed with hair rollers as its inspiration, this curling and lifting mascara guarantees a gorgeous all-day wide-eyed look. The bristles feature tiny custom-designed hooks to catch even the shortest of lashes, giving them the needed lift and curl that Asian eyelashes lack. The mascara formula is enriched with lash-conditioning vitamin B5 and serine. We absolutely love the tube packaging!
5/7
Arcana
Wine Oil, RM264 (via Sephora)
We all need a good anti-aging skincare product to keep the wrinkles at bay. This one harnesses the powers of resveratol, the antioxidant from red grapes that everyone now knows plays a part in keeping you looking young. Arcona’s Wine Oil uses grape seed oil as its base to deliver effective anti-inflammatory, moisturising, and reparative effects to the skin. Did we mention the bottle looks divine?
6/7
Peter Thomas Roth
Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Precious Oil SPF15, RM408 (via Sephora)
Ah, the power of the rose flower. This incredible product harnesses a precious blend of 6 rose stem cells, 6 rose extracts, and natural oils like black currant seed oil and passion fruit oil in order to produce the most potent of serums. Rich in nutrients, your skin will benefit from the anti-aging, highly protective formula and will be graced with a soft and velvety result. Oh, and the simple white-pink packaging is sweet and delightful!
7/7
Burberry
Lip Velvet in Fuchsia Pink, RM115 (via Sephora)
We’re not gonna lie - the Burberry Lip Velvet lipstick cases look oh-so-good. Whether sitting on your dressing table or in your purse, one thing’s for sure, that understated and minimalistic packaging is iconically Burberry. We love the rich Fuchsia Pink shade - it delivers an irresistible soft matte finish.

Many of us are guilty of judging a product by its packaging. If you’re the type to stop in your tracks while wandering around a giant Sephora store as soon as you come across a product that looks pretty, not to mention feel the overwhelming urge to make a purchase ASAP (even before you even know exactly what it does), then you’re definitely a magpie in the beauty department, itching to take home all the shiny things you see. Not to worry, we’ll help you out. We’ve curated a list of 7 gorgeous products that are as effective as they are pretty.
