Let’s be honest, when we first see a beauty product the first two things that pull you in is the packaging and scent coming a close second. In fact, many beauty companies capitalize on this and try to incorporate some sort of smell and/or the appearance of food to make products more memorable. Whether you have a sweet tooth or a preference for the savoury there are so many products that look good enough to eat. From scrumptious strawberry scents to aromas that could be confused for a chocolate bar. Although we don’t advise actually consuming them we’ve curated a selection of food-inspired makeup and skincare products that are all about making you feel good and incorporating the sweeter side of life.
Keep scrolling to check out the best food-inspired beauty products that will leave you hungrier than when you started:
1. TooFaced, Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette
While everyone knows about the chocolate eyeshadow palette TooFaced Sweet Peach is in fact even more popular. Each of the 18 shades is intended to represent the different layers of peach and to make things sweet they actually smell like real peaches.
2. Laneige, Berry Lip Sleeping Mask
This now cult favourite lip mask tops everyone’s list and for good reason. This berry flavoured lip sleeping mask is like treating your dry pout to a relaxing spa day. The berry extracts which are rich in antioxidants help transforms your lips from rough and dry to soft and supple overnight.
3. Lush, Cup O’ Coffee Face and Body Mask
You can trust that the sweet roasted cocoa aroma is 100 per cent authentic as this face and body mask is made entirely from freshly ground coffee beans.

It’ll have you feeling refreshed and glowing just like the first cup of coffee in the morning.
4. Etude House, Dear Darling Water Gel Tint Ice Cream
If you ever wondered what could be a dupe to the Benefit Benetint, you need to check out this Etude House range of tints. While the watery tint gives you a beautiful flush of colour the super cute popsicle inspired packaging cannot be ignored. Plus it’s price tag much easier on your wallets.
5. Glow Recipe, Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask
