Have you ever wondered what a beauty- and home décor–obsessed editor is drawn to while filling their home with lifestyle essentials? They start off by identifying the holes in their beauty routine and fill them with tools that can support the health of their skin, strands, and more while adding character to their space with unique designs that deserve to be seen. I’ve always loved aesthetic beauty products (especially those from underrated brands that aren’t talked about enough), but I’m especially drawn to the idea of taking it to the next level by finding the ones that can double as décor.
Throughout my career as a beauty editor, I’ve ID’d a number of these niche finds and kept them tucked away in my beauty cabinet. However, since my last move, I’ve had the opportunity to sort through the ones that I like to look at and use the most, and I have decided to treat them just as I would my favorite coffee books, vases, and floral arrangements. Below, see the 15 beauty finds I’ve bought over the past few months that have added an extra level of chicness to my everyday lifestyle and earned me an impressive number of compliments whenever they’re spotted by beauty- and home décor–loving visitors.
The Prettiest Beauty Essentials
Ranavat
The Ritual Skincare Wand
All beauty editors know that some of the most stunning skincare and body tools that are worth snagging aren’t given half of the praise they deserve. Ranavat’s Ritual Skincare Wand is crafted from pure brass and can be used to scoop your favorite masks, treatments, and creams for easy and hygienic application. After use, simply clean the wand with mild soap and water and make sure it’s completely dry before storing.
Customer Review: “I love this wand and I use it every day with my creams, balms, and masks. I want to have a few more so I can put one in the bathroom and one in my travel bag so I always have one on me. Just so useful in keeping your jars decontaminated, easy to clean, and does not rust. I have had mine for months an it looks as pristine as the day I purchased.”
Dieux
Tattoo Forever Eye Mask
A stylish eye mask that revitalize and restores with award-winning medical-grade silicone? Sign me up. Dieux’s limited-edition eye mask is lightweight, thin, and designed to hold all gels, serums, and creams close to the skin. The unique design is the result of a partnership with tattoo artist David Enth and features the brand’s name in white cursive on one patch and cherubs holding bows and arrows on the other.
Customer Review: “I love skincare and after a week of consistent use, I noticed a significant difference in my under eye area after using this eye mask paired with the Dieux eye cream. my fine lines and crows feet are basically gone and my entire under eye is brightened. I love to put this in the freezer and apply in the morning to help with puffiness as well. Love that it’s reusable and the designs are so cute! 10/10 it’s now a staple in my morning routine!”
Mario Badescu Skin Care
Stainless Steel Facial Roller and Gua Sha Set
Growing up, I was always encouraged to keep my beauty tools clean if I wanted clean skin, especially when it came to the essentials I used daily. Recently, I’ve fallen back in love with stainless steel tools because they are nonporous and prevent microbial buildup. This Mario Badescu set featuring a facial roller and gua sha is self-cooling and promotes lifted, firmed, and radiant skin without flare-ups.
Customer Review: “I’ve never used one of these before but am so happy I finally got my hands on one! For never having used one, I find it to be very relaxing when incorporating into my skincare routine. I find the stainless steel design a bit heavy, but very sleek and easy to handle.”
Diptyque
Gold Candle Snuffer
I never knew I needed a luxe candle snuffer until I added this chic find to my daily routine. Diptyque’s elegant candles are second to none, but I also can’t get enough of its timeless home fragrance tools. With a design inspired by the brand’s oval motif, this candle snuffer extinguishes flames without releasing a plume of smoke. Plus, it looks stunning on a coffee table.
Customer Review: “I have the gold premium wick trimmer by Diptyque and bought this one to match. It’s a perfect match, looks beautiful and luxe. Also works well, the same as most candle snuffers.”
Officine Universelle Buly
The Beautiful Friend
Admittedly, I have a challenging time finding hair tools that work with my tight coils and look aesthetically pleasing. Officine Universelle Buly offers a treasure trove of display-worthy products, but the Beautiful Friend (a comb ideal for smoothing and polishing curly hair without breakage) has become one of my go-tos. It’s handmade in Switzerland and comes in three chic shades.

Isamaya x FaceGym
Sculpt Tool
Designed to contour and define, this sculpting tool works to enhance circulation and smooth away puffiness of the face and scalp. It’s a collaboration between Isamaya and FaceGym and is crafted from a high-quality metal that retains coolness and soothes the skin while supporting lymphatic drainage with multiuse edges. I love putting this one on display in my bathroom cabinet just in case someone decides to snoop.
Customer Review: “I absolutely love this tool! The different forms, especially the one with the ball ends, are so handy. It’s super easy to adjust its temperature by simply placing it in water. Plus, I’m obsessed with how it looks.”
Tronque
Ionic Dry Body Brush
Made from extra-fine ion-charged copper bristles, this cutting-edge body brush by Tronque naturally forms negative ions from its friction against skin, promoting a more grounded energy state while smoothing and brightening the skin with every stroke through lymphatic drainage. It also exfoliates by sweeping away dry skin while enhancing skin elasticity and circulation.
Customer Review: “Luxury item, beautifully designed and packaged. Skin feels invigorated with increased blood flow and wonderfully smooth when used with the vitamin C body oil and firming body butter. Everyone including my skin therapist has complimented me on my skin recently—worth the investment. Love this brand and these amazing products!”
Tata Harper
Sculpting Body Stone
I’ve gathered quite the collection of sculpting body tools throughout my career as a beauty editor, but few have surprised me with results while also looking like a work of art. This one from Tata Harper is an elevated stone massage tool with naturally occurring thermal conductivity properties to ease tension, promote lymphatic drainage, and tone the body. It has a mushroom-shaped design with an easy-to-grip knob.
Customer Review: “So pretty and nice to use, feels like an at-home massage. The knob on top makes it easy hold onto. You do need to use something slippery, like a body oil, for the stone to glide across your skin. Love that it can be used cool or warmed up.”
Ranavat’s Kansa Wand is a detoxifying facial massage tool that can be used to de-puff and soften the appearance of fine lines while stimulating energy flow. Kansa has been used by practitioners of Ayurveda for centuries and combines copper and tin to balance and soothe the skin. For best results, the brand recommends using this two to three times a week.
Customer Review: “I love the Kansa Wand. It feels significantly less abrasive and more soothing than gua sha or facial reflexology tools not only because of the structure and shape but also because of the materials. I feel less nervous using this on the delicate areas of my face than I would something more sharp-edged. Because of the smooth shape, I feel it worked better for lymphatic drainage purposes than other tools as well.”
Santa Maria Novella
Melograno in Scented Terracotta
Scent Type: woodsy spices
Notes: bergamot, bitter orange, fresh spices, pomegranate accord, rose, ylang-ylang, oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli musk
I came across this scented terra-cotta diffuser while exploring a home décor store on the Upper West Side, and I had to stop myself from buying it with a cross-country move on the horizon. However, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since then and have plans to make it my first big purchase for my future home. This is Santa Maria Novella’s spicy Melograno cologne in a pomegranate-shaped terra-cotta diffuser.
Customer Review: “This is a beautiful, timeless home fragrance. Its warm, powdery scent fills the room gently without being overpowering. I love the unique pomegranate shape! It adds charm and character. The handcrafted terracotta slowly releases the elegant aroma, making my room feel truly luxurious and inviting.”
Looking for an effortless way to add a touch of elegance to your space? I’ve gotten nonstop compliments from visitors on how chic my candles look in Trudon’s La Cloche. This blown-glass dome is decorated with the brand’s logo and paired with a handcrafted and polished wooden base—just like the traditional glass bells Trudon used to display candles in its first store, which opened in 1643.
Customer Review: “This is a really well made cloche, with a lovely wooden base for both displaying candles and keeping them fresh! Stores the standard Trudon candles perfectly!”
Sisley Paris
Ginkgo Gua Sha Massage Tool
It can be challenging to gather the right facial-massage tools to address all your needs, but luckily for you, I know my way around beauty suppliers in person and online. One of the prettiest ones I’ve come across over the past few months has been this one by Sisley Paris. Inspired by the shape of the ginkgo biloba leaf, this tool is crafted from naturally cooling Zamac to lift, smooth, and sculpt the skin while offering a moment of relaxation.
Customer Review: “Beautifully designed and excellent quality. I wish I had this tool years ago. I always knew how important it was to use a lifting technique when applying makeup and skincare products but I never knew how effective this tool works for your face. I feel so renewed and relaxed in addition to improving my appearance.”
Flamingo Estate
Night Blooming Jasmine & Damask Rose Bath Set
Scent Type: citrus florals
Notes: jasmine, damask rose, bergamot, pink peppercorns
While I lived in New York City, I wasn’t lucky enough to score an apartment with a bath. However, since returning to the West Coast, I’ve been making the the most out of being able to take decadent bubble baths whenever I want. The Flamingo Estate Night Blooming Jasmine & Damask Rose Bath Set has been one of the best ways to elevate the ritual since it comes with a hand soap, candle, and soap brick.
Customer Review: “A beautiful set containing my favorite products. The lotion has a lovely, natural fragrance as does the soap and candle. I’m happy Flamingo Estate is packaging these three amazing products together!”
Loewe
Tomato Leaves Incense Set
Scent Type: earthy greens
Notes: fir balsam, oakmoss, black currant
Loewe’s chic home fragrance set features a red ceramic terra-cotta incense holder and 25 perfumed incense sticks with the brand’s Tomato Leaves essence (a fresh scent reminiscent of preripened tomato leaves). It has notes of fir balsam, oakmoss, and black currant and a burn time of up to 30 minutes per stick. Its scent lingers in the air long after it’s burned, and the holder looks chic wherever it’s put on display.

Act+Acre
Scalp Gua Sha Tool
You can never have too many gua sha tools at your disposal, and this scalp tool by Act+Acre is one I’ll always recommend. It’s made from natural jade that helps ingredients penetrate more deeply and effectively, supporting overall scalp health. Designed to gently massage the scalp, it encourages microcirculation while also relieving head tension and tightness.
Customer Review: “Each time I use it, my scalp feels more invigorated and alive. The gentle pressure and motion really help activate circulation, which is great for supporting overall hair follicle health. I typically pair it with the Act+Acre Scalp Detox Oil, and I’ve noticed the oil absorbs so much better when used with this tool. It doesn’t just sit on the scalp—it actually feels like it’s penetrating deeper, which maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.”
