Cosmeceutical Collection

I've never used cosmetics but find cosmetic counters enticing in the way that candy counters are. There is something appealing about their array of aromatic, colorful objects, each housed in a special container designed to a certain aesthetic, an aesthetic that has shifted through the years. Yet, given my mistrust of both consumerism and culturally dictated notions of female beauty, I am also repulsed by these shrines to artificial beauty. Cosmetics are typically made of blends of waxy or powdery materials so I worked to include reference to those elements in my box.
