Oscar Nominees Received $20K Worth of Beauty Swag

The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, is one of the biggest television events of the year with lavish outfits, beautiful hair and makeup, and of course, the actors and artists we have come to know and love for creating our favorite movies. Although not everyone will win an Oscar, every nominee will leave with an official Oscars swag bag.

What’s a swag bag? A gift bag of luxury gifts. From a $10,000 certificate for cosmetic treatments to a trip to Italy, these gifts are not your average party favor. A press release was sent out with the full list of all the items in this year’s swag bag, but the beauty-related gifts alone add up to more than $20,000.

Here’s a compiled list of 5 notable beauty-related gifts in the 2023 Oscars swag bag:

Benigna Parfum: The Royal Essence Collection

Seven perfumes inspired by the seven royal families around the world for $3,555.

Plastic Surgery Gift Card

If they’re looking for a session of Botox or a chemical peel, the swag bag offers the Oscar nominees a $10,000 gift card to Dr. Konstatin Vasyukevich’s office.

Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation

A year’s supply of this $66 foundation. The brand also teamed up with two aesthetic doctors, Jay Calvert, MD, and Shino Bay Aguilera, MD, to provide every nominee with a micro-needling treatment that can cost between $750-$1,000.

Serucell KFS Cellular Protein Complex Serum

An infusion of over 1,500 bioactive proteins, collagens, and peptides to rejuvenate the skin from within for $225.

Ariadne Athens The Bath Ritual Set

This three-piece bath set includes a body wash, hand, and body lotion, and bath bombs for $60.

Unfortunately, not every single nominee at the Oscars will be awarded the swag bag. The recipients of the swag bag are the nominees for best director, best actor, best actress, best-supporting actor, best supporting actress, and host Jimmy Kimmel. The recipients are as follows:

Op-Ed: The Subjective Nature of Beauty Over the Years

Growing up in a Pentecostal household, there were a lot of beauty trends that passed me by that I wasn’t a part of. For those who don’t know what Pentecostal is, it is a Christian, Protestant-based religion. It also, depending on the church, follows some strict rules when it comes to a women’s appearance. Whatever each church’s case may be, I did not partake in makeup, dyeing my hair- and cutting anything except the ends of it- plucking my eyebrows, wearing certain jewelry, etc. This was of my own doing; of course, I wasn’t forced, but it was something that was introduced to me pretty early on. Therefore, I underestimated the effects of not partaking in the, at the time unknowingly, yet still fleeting beauty trends of my high school.
