We've all shed tears over destroyed jewelry—that strand of pearls that unraveled, the diamond ring that crunched away in the sink disposal—but, in the beauty world, mutilated jewels are
trendy as of late. Beauty companies are pulverizing, distilling and blending pricey gems, using them as ingredients in ritzy
beauty products, says
The New York Times. Lately, products like gold-flecked Perfect Cream for Body from Carita and La
Mer's Diamond Powder Refining Facial are sparkling up beauty counters, as is
Juicy Couture Dusting Powder, a shimmering powder made with crushed pearls and diamonds. "For most people, bathing in diamonds and gold is as likely an occurrence as washing the car with truffles,"
The NYT said. "And yet it now appears that the endless search for smoother and younger-looking skin and the tireless
acquisition of
conspicuous signs of wealth have collided at the cosmetics counter. The result is an array of topical products almost too precious to be anywhere near a sink drain." Revised motto: Diamond
creams and powders are a girl's best friend.
