16 Beauty Products That Are Guaranteed to Spark Joy

Full disclosure: I've only ever watched one episode of "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo" because it stresses me out. Obviously, Ms. Kondo herself is a delight, but as something of a hoarder, the KonMari method just strikes a little too much fear into my heart.

That said, I've gotten pretty good at following Kondo's credo in at least one respect: I only keep beauty products that, as she would put it, "spark joy." As a beauty editor, the amount of products I try annually gets into the high hundreds/low thousands, so I have to be downright draconian about what I actually keep in order to keep my beauty stash manageable.

With that in mind, I thought I'd make a little list of must-have beauty products — you know, the crème de la crème of joy-sparking stuff. These are the items that go the extra mile, be it with extra-cute packaging, lovely scents or especially decadent textures. Keep reading to shop a few of my favorite things.
