Oscar Nominees Are Leaving With $20K Worth of Beauty Swag

We don't know about you, but we have always wondered what's inside the gift bags at major award shows. Year after year we've asked ourselves: what could possibly be good enough for some of the biggest stars in the world? Or, probably more accurately: what products do they not already have? With award season ramping up and the Oscars just a few days away, we finally have the answer. After seeing the products in the Oscars gift bag, we don't know if we're happy that our curiosity is finally satisfied or jealous that we can't get one, too.

This year's swag bag — technically called the "Everyone Wins" Nominee Gift Bags, since it's not affiliated with the Oscars or Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — is stacked with high-ticket items. From a $10,000 certificate for cosmetic treatments to a three-night getaway in Ischia, Italy and even a year's worth of foundation and concealer, the freebies are nothing to scoff at. Because we are who we are, we had to keep a keen eye out for all the beauty gifts that nominees will be receiving — and let's just say you may want to consider a career change after you see all the goods included.

Of the total value of the gift bag — a smooth $100,000 at minimum — the beauty-related gifts alone add up to more than $20,000. If you need to know to what post-award-show beauty treatments await each nominee, keep reading for the most notable beauty-related gifts in the 2023 Oscars gift bag.
