12 beauty products that are (almost) too pretty to use

Have you ever received a gift that was so beautiful you couldn’t imagine ever using—and ruining—it? That’s how we feel about so many beauty products. Whether its a blush, lipstick or shadow palette featuring a gorgeously intricate design, bringing a brush to these products feels sacrilege. Of course, we eventually get over it because who can resist a gorgeous red lipstick sitting on the bathroom counter, waiting to be used (even if it’s saved for special occasions).

We’ve rounded up 12 beauty products that are too pretty to use. Almost.
