Those look like a series of powerups from a video game. There's a little anchor and a seahorse for the bosses to drop in the underground levels.

I'm such a sucker for gimmicky packaging. If I were choosing between two perfumes I'd pick the one with the prettier bottle every time. It's fun to have cosmetics that are also decorative in your space.
Of course this is why I have wasted far too much money on certain brands like Pacifica, who have pretty packaging but are totally ineffective.

Same here, when I lived near a Target I had to restrain myself from getting anything from Winky Lux because the products and packaging are gorgeous. Put a flower or glitter in any makeup product and my consumer brain takes over

Winky Luxs stuff is really good, ive liked the probs 5 diff makeups ive bought from them
I love Pacifica! Is the issue the fragrance doesn't last long? I'm not really a fragrance person, I just prefer natural smelling fragrances like they have.
I'm also a sucker for pretty packaging.

If you want a scent that lasts all day you're gonna have to buy something a little more expensive. The cheap stuff just fades almost immediately, that's why I stopped getting eau de toilets entirely. I love the scents from The Body Shop (especially the mango) but they just fade so fast.
I got this for Valentine's Day and the scent lasts all day, I love it a lot.

Olaplex bonding oil

Didn't Olaplex recently get sued and have a bunch of allegations leveled against them? I heard everything from causing cancer to infertility, I have no idea what came from that tho but suddenly everyone stopped shilling it.

This is what I use. You only need one drop, it works well on fine hair and is not greasy or heavy at all. The bottle lasts forever, I bought mine last year and it's still full. It also smells kind of like skittles, which I really like.
When I researched it, that ingredient was in one or two of their products, but isn't any more. That said, the only products from them worth buying is the bonding treatment (seriously transformative) and the bonding oil. Everything else is either meh or trash.

I used to have a bottle of Moroccanoil and it smelled nice but I'm a currently using this one. I also use their incredible milk., their whole range smells like caramel so I am obsessed. It's not exactly cheap but a little goes a long way.

Aveda products are pretty solid if you're willing to drop some money. It's not oil but their leave-in conditioner is just about the only product that I've ever found that manages to tame my frizzy hair while not also making me look like a drowned rat.

n.b. I make many of my HABA decisions at the grocery store after midnight. Works for dry ends in basic Caucasian hair, though.
I like morrocanoil.
Re. Olaplex, I was using their whole system for months, and I don't feel it did anything for me. so I stopped and went back to pseudo curly girl which is working nicely.

Haven't tried this one. I'll keep an eye open for this and all the other things that have been recommended.

Hard agree-the bonding oil really helped with frizz but everything else I have tried has been a dud.
I fell victim to the zoomer propaganda from some family members and tried the gisou honey oil and I personally love it.
Only other product I use is just plain argan oil but it is more like a hair mask before a shower and not oil to make your hair look nice.

Same here, this is my fave bottle even though the perfume itself is incredibly meh
Unfortunately the lid is pure decoration and you do have to take the lid off to use it.

This stuff is excellent but the company is based in Belgium and I'm not sure what the global availability is like.
