Inside The Beauty Edit Box Vol. 20: The Beauty Bible

Almost 20 brands. Over 40 featured products. One iconic experience. The Beauty Bible drops the same day as our private screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Here's what's inside.
Reading Time: 6 minutes

There’s a scene every beauty girl knows by heart: the closet. The belt. The cerulean speech. The part where fashion stops being frivolous and becomes, undeniably, serious.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally here. And we couldn’t let it pass without doing what we do best—curating the kind of box that makes the occasion feel like an event.

The Beauty Edit Box Vol. 20: The Beauty Bible drops on April 29, the same day as our private screening at Power Plant Cinema. It’s limited-edition and built around a single idea: that beauty, like fashion, rewards the people who take it seriously. Forty-plus products spanning skincare, makeup, fragrance, and more—all of it chosen with the kind of editorial conviction we’d stake our masthead on. Plus, it arrives housed in a chic Blanc Nué Pillow Clutch: a soft, structured bag that works as hard after the event as it does walking into it.

Here’s everything inside:

The Skin Edit

By All Means, Move at a Glacial Pace

In a world obsessed with overnight results, a slow, consistent routine will take your complexion further than any quick fix. The Skin Edit is where you start.

CLEANSE: Nuxe Very Rose Soothing Cleansing Micellar Water
Removes makeup, excess oil, and the day’s chaos in one sweep. Clean, calm, and ready for your next outfit change.

TONE: Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner Alcohol-Free
A classic for a reason. This alcohol-free toner with real calendula petals soothes, balances, and keeps skin looking really unbothered.

TREAT: Filorga NCEF-REVITALIZE Serum
Consider this your skin’s reset in between issues. This serum brings back glow, smoothness, and that well-rested look.

MOISTURIZE: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream
A rich, barrier-repairing cream that melts on skin to soothe, strengthen, and bring it back from the brink.

SOOTHE: Formulogic Panthenol All-in-One Barrier Cream
Great for sensitive types, this panthenol-infused cream hydrates and calms skin in as little as 10 minutes.

NOURISH: Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse® Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
The kind of multitasker that belongs in every closet — leaving skin and hair with a silky finish.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse® Or Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
The same iconic dry oil, now with a golden shimmer that leaves skin and hair subtly luminous.

PROTECT: Y.O.U SUNBRELLA 2% Niacinamide Brightening Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++
The non-negotiable — lightweight and refreshing broad-spectrum protection with niacinamide and vitamin C to keep skin even and camera-ready across all lighting conditions.

Shopping: The Beauty Department

Emily Has Paris—Beauty Girls Have This

Beauty Bar has been the country’s go-to source for niche international beauty since 1999. This edition, it brings the formulas worth knowing — clean actives, considered coverage, and color that reads from across the room.

FIRST STOP: SKIN

The Korres Route
Born in an Athens homeopathic pharmacy, Korres has been formulating with Greek botanicals since 1996—olive oil, yoghurt, and herbal extracts that deliver hydration and skin comfort without overcomplicating the routine. The range covers all the bases: foaming cleansers, probiotic serums, and sleeping creams for the face; milks, moisturizers, shower gels, and multipurpose oil for the body; plus cleansing cloths for makeup removal and refreshing on-the-go.

Korres Pure Greek Olive Blossom Body Cream / Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser / Korres Pure Greek Olive 3-In-1 Nourishing Oil / Korres Pure Greek Olive Shower Gel Olive Blossom / Korres Olympus Tea Deep Detox Biodegradable Cleansing Cloths (30pcs) / Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial / Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Skin-Supplement Serum / Korres Lefko Body Milk / Korres White Tea Body Milk / Korres White Tea Eau de Toilette (10ml vial)

NEXT STOP: MAKEUP

Hince and the Modern Skin Finish
Seoul-born Hince was built on the idea that makeup should feel like a second skin — minimal in effort, deliberate in result. Think sheer coverage, diffused color, and hydration-driven glow. With a tone-up base, multi-use shadow, radiance balm, and dewy liquid cheek, each step enhances tone and dimension rather than masking it. Nothing exaggerated, nothing missed.

Hince Second Skin Tone Up Base / Hince Single Eyeshadow / Hince True Dimension Radiance Balm / Hince Dewy Liquid Cheek

Arches, Sorted
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo
Anastasia Beverly Hills built its name on brows done right—and the Brow Powder Duo still delivers. Two complementary shades, soft-focus definition, a finish that looks considered rather than drawn.

MUA Lip Stop
MUA Multi-Lip Matte Lipstick & Gloss Duo + Hydra Juice Peptide Lip Balm
UK-based MUA consistently delivers where it counts. Its lippie + gloss duo approaches lips through contrast—soft matte color paired with high-shine gloss for flexibility in finish. The peptide balm keeps lips conditioned and visibly smoother. Function, but with options.

Editors’ Picks

Wake Up, Sweetheart

The finishing touches you’ve been sleeping on—and then some.

Small Steps Feels So Light Niacinamide Gel Cream
Niacinamide and Vitamin C are doing serious work in something that feels like nothing. The kind of moisturizer that will make you wonder why you ever used anything heavier.

Small Steps Lip Syrup
Vitamin C, peptides, and ceramides in a glaze so comfortable it barely registers as effort—just as noticeably better lips.

Dazzle Me Get a Grip! Makeup Setting Spray Prime+Set Anti-Pollution
Pollution, sweat, transfer—this setting spray handles all three while Damask rose and ceramides keep skin hydrated for 24 hours.

Hello Glow Alpha-Melight Sun Care Stick SPF 50+
Matte, brightening, and SPF 50+ — the stick format means you’ll actually reapply it, which is the whole point.

Hello Glow Bakuchiol Sun Care Stick SPF 50+
Every swipe is SPF 50+ and bakuchiol working together — sun protection that’s also your anti-aging step.

Hello Glow Ceramide Sun Care Stick SPF 50+ T
riple hyaluronic acid and ceramides packed into an SPF 50+ stick. Protecting skin and rebuilding it at the same time.

Hello Glow Mugwort Sun Care Stick SPF 50+

THE UNDERCOVER ESSENTIAL

Fragrance Files

Thirteen scents, from lazy Sunday mornings to nights you’re chained to the desk

THE CLEAN SLATE
Korres Mini Eau de Toilette White Tea
Smells like a fresh start—white tea notes that settle softly and linger gently.

GIRL OFF-DUTY
Maison Margiela REPLICA Lazy Sunday Morning EDT (1.2ml vial)
Clean linen, lily of the valley, white musk. The olfactory equivalent of not checking your phone until noon.

STAYING IN TONIGHT
Maison Margiela REPLICA By the Fireplace EDT (1.2ml vial)
It opens with roasted chestnuts and clove, settles into gaiac wood and vanilla—warm and unhurried, like a night you don’t want to end.

THE BUILD-UP
Maison Margiela REPLICA On a Date EDT (1.2ml vial)
Bergamot and rose for the anticipation, black currant and patchouli for the aftermath.

SECOND SKIN
Maison Margiela REPLICA Ideal One EDP (1.2ml vial)
Warm, spiced, and skin-close — a musk that smells different on everyone, which is entirely the point.

NO INTRODUCTION NEEDED
Givenchy L’Interdit Eau de Parfum (1ml vial)
Golden pear and ginger give way to orange blossom, mimosa, and tuberose—then patchouli and balms anchor the whole thing. Opulent, but never obvious.

HEAD TURNER
Van Cleef & Arpels Patchouli Blanc EDP (2ml vial)
Aldehydes and pink pepper open bright. Then cashmere woods and white musk take over, and suddenly patchouli is the most elegant thing in the room.

AFTER DARK
Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Rose EDP (2ml vial)
Taif and Bulgarian rose cut through patchouli and oakmoss—voluptuous, but with an edge.

SOMEWHERE WARMER
Van Cleef & Arpels Neroli Amara EDP (2ml vial)
Italian lemon, mandarin, bergamot—a citrus opening so bright it lifts instantly. Then orange blossom absolute makes it more Mediterranean, more earned.

FIRST IMPRESSION
Van Cleef & Arpels Orchid Leather EDP (2ml vial)
Cardamom and plum on top, black leather and incense at the heart, cistus and vanilla underneath. It’s the fragrance that enters before you do.

SLOW REVEAL
Monotheme Natural Cocoa Beans EDT (2ml vial)
Opens on pink pepper and pear, turns gourmand with cocoa and tuberose, lands on patchouli and benzoin. Three acts, one vial.

OPEN AIR
Monotheme Natural Honeysuckle EDT (2ml vial)
Bergamot and petitgrain up top, honeysuckle and jasmine at the heart — then cedar, vanilla orchid, and ambrette deepen it into something unexpected.

MAIN CHARACTER
YSL Libre Berry Crush EDP (10ml)
Raspberry crushed into Libre’s lavender and orange blossom signature, finished with coconut and vanilla. The original was already good—this version is extra playful.
