You know, in theory we buy our beauty products based on quality... but you know what makes a big difference? Pretty, pretty packaging — especially when it happens to be of the limited edition variety.
This summer has seen more than its fair share of special versions of certain popular products, as well as blink-and-you'll-miss-them capsule collections with different stars, artists, designers and more. Suffice it to say, there are a lot of beautiful beauty products to choose from right now — though, you've got to act fast! Keep reading for 19 of our favorite limited edition products of the summer.

Urban Decay Born to Run Eyeshadow Palette, $49
Look, Urban Decay is known for its eyeshadow palettes and even among all of its cult favorites over the years, this one stands out. It's a veritable rainbow of shades; the perfect balance of adventurous and wearable. You'll fall hard for the peacock greens and rich mauves, but you can also rest assured that there are plenty of warm neutrals (in a variety of finishes) that you can wear for daytime. And come on, that packaging is divine.
Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter in Diamond Ball-Out, $34
Billed as "Trophy Wife's twin sister" (fraternal, we're assuming), this limited edition highlighter has got it going on — and 100-percent of the proceeds from purchasing it will go to Rihanna's charity, the Clara Lionel Foundation. Between this philanthropic aspect, the shimmery platinum finish and the seriously cool packaging (check out that embossed CLF logo and silver compact), it's kind of a must-have.
L'Oreal Paris x Camila Cabello Havana Lip Dew Lip Gloss, $9.99
The whole L'Oreal Havana x Camila Cabello line is pretty picturesque, but this gloss takes the cake for its bright floral cap. The four shades are gorgeous and the glosses boast a comfy, non-sticky texture, as well as a oversized doe foot wand that makes application a cinch.
