Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Scandi Candy: gloss left unretouched
Ole Henriksen (@olehenriksen) just added Scandi Candy, a pink gummy tint, to the Pout Preserve line. The first two shots are why I stopped. They look real and unretouched, and that unretouched gloss makes the images feel lifestyle and true to life, not like polished campaign shots. The third photo needs a little more light in the shadows.

Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Lip Serum 5.1 Jelly: clean and bright, played slightly safe
I love these shots. Abib (@abib.global) kept it so clean and bright. This is how Korean skincare always shows up. Playful, with very clean light and color. Great work. It is a plumping lip serum with PDRN and 5% Volufiline, and the jelly tip is a nice touch. My only thing is the styling. They played it a bit safe. But the quality is amazing.

Laura Mercier Holiday Atelier: shot like a gift guide
Laura Mercier (@lauramercier) shot the Holiday Atelier sets like a gift guide you can trust. Every set is shown with its box, and you can read exactly what is inside before you buy it. The hand cream duo, the powder, the caviar sticks, each one presented simply and warmly. No guessing, no surprises at checkout. This is how you sell a gift set.

SIDIA Parfums: fragrance treated like an heirloom
SIDIA (@sidiathebrand) styled this so intentionally. Nothing is random, and it is so on brand for them. I love the light here. Hard light, done right, with soft blown out highlights on the gold caps. This is the hard light trend nailed. These are the three scents, Braless, Midas and Soaked, made with perfumer Jérôme Epinette. Fragrance treated like an heirloom you actually carry. I would buy it.

Oribe Supershine Hydration & Shine Set: shot inside its own box art
Oribe (@oribe) shot this set inside its own box art, and it works. The gift box carries a mosaic called Golden Reverie, made by French artist Mathilde Herrero from raw stone, Venetian smalti and gold glass. The set holds travel sizes of the Supershine shampoo and conditioner plus a full size Mirror Rinse, the one minute treatment for glass hair.
