World's Most Expensive Beauty Buys


Wondering how to treat yourself this birthday? What about gifting yourself the world's most expensive makeup?? H Couture Beauty's mascara and lipstick is studded with white, blue and pink diamonds in place of their 'usual' Swarovski crystal and gold-plating. The price? A cool US$14 million (about Rs 65,00,00,000). Little wonder that it comes with its own concierge service, 24/7 customer service and complimentary lip and lash refills for a year. If you ask us, we think it should also have a 6-room penthouse, indoor swimming pool, a couple of Rolls Royce and a few small Hawaiian islands thrown in for the price!!

If this sounds like too much, maybe you should just be satisfied with the world's most expensive perfum. Parfum VI - created by famous British perfumer Arthur Burnham - is inspired by the Rolls Royce Phantom VI and comes at a cool $90,000.00 USD (approx Rs. 40, 50,000!!). In return for all that dough you get a box crafted from gold and exotic wood by Rolls-Royce coach builders, with a pure gold key studded with diamonds and rubies. Inside, the fragrance combines "the richness of jasmine, rose from Grasse and secret natural ingredients from ancient recipes to create this most enchanting and irresistible symphony". If you have your heart set on it, hurry - only 173 bottles were ever made!!
