What to Buy from Net-a-Porter’s 2020 Beauty Hall of Fame

Or shall we say haul of fame?

Luxury shopping mecca Net-a-Porter has unveiled a new Beauty Hall of Fame, a curated collection of the products that sail off the site’s virtual shelves thanks to their never-fail efficacy and cult classic desirability. The lineup of star beautifiers spans ultra-hydrating creams to get-it-all-off cleansers, brightening serums to indulgent baths, hair heroes to tried-and-true home facial tools—a selection vast enough to ensure that there’s something for everyone. And while you couldn’t go wrong adding pretty much any of the Hall of Fame goodies to your basket, we’ve plucked out a selection of our favorites, from the ultra-famous (Crème de la Mer, anyone?) to the under-the-radar wonder products that you never knew your regimen was missing. Here, our picks for a premium vanity refresh.

Augustinus Bader’s body cream is packed with the same proprietary TFC8 blend—a complex of natural animo acids, vitamins and synthesized molecules—that has made the stem-cell-scientist’s face moisturizer a runaway hit. Expect softer, smoother skin with visibly diminished crepiness and cellulite. 

If you’re going to take supplements, shouldn’t they be the very best? LYMA contains seven clinically proven, bio-available nutrients and herbs—including keratin for hair, skin, and nails; anti-inflammatory lycopine; stress-targeting adaptogen ashwagandha; and vitamin D3—and comes with a chic hammered-copper vessel for countertop capsule storage. 

This Synactif cream feels so indulgent you might forget the serious work it’s doing—until you notice the difference it makes: Eyebags depuffed, cheekbones contoured, jaw re-defined. The secret? A molecule formulated specifically to boost lymphatic drainage. 

Does your complexion have the blahs? Behold, your solution. These gel-like sheet masks boost radiance in just 15 minutes; keep them in the fridge to amplify their born-again-skin effects. 

An Italian sojourn may not be on the cards this year, but this candle, with notes of orange blossom, fig leaf, and vetiver will bring a little dolce vita your way nonetheless. After the wax has burned, use it as a joy-sparking makeup brush holder.

A face and hand soap with serious sink appeal. Plus, the 100 percent natural ingredients—including hydrating glycerin and a gorgeous musky rose scent—leave skin feeling comforted and clean. 

Pores? What pores? Sisley’s innovative gel-formula blurring powder acts like an invisible veil, imparting a soft-focus glow to all skin tones.

Add this unique natural clay powder to a warm bath for a detoxifying, pH-balance-restoring soak. Formulated with marula oil, sea salt, and a calming aroma of geranium, patchouli, and jasmine. 

It wouldn’t be a beauty Hall of Fame without La Mer, would it? The supremely hydrating, comforting cream deserves its status as a must-have classic. 

Facialist Sarah Chapman is beloved by her celebrity clients—including devotee Meghan Markle—for her ability to bring an inner glow to even the most devitalized skin. This multiday regimen delivers timed ingredients formulated to slough away dullness and reveal even-toned luminosity. 

We’ve all seen LED masks for the face, but for the neck and chest? Not so much. This ingenious device is made from flexible silicon, which is easy to stretch over the decollete, neck and shoulders, and delivers collagen-boosting red and infrared light to areas heretofore underserved by at-home LEDs. 

Restore luster to even the most bedraggled locks with this delightfully scented jasmine-oil-infused mask, which imparts shine, softness, and bounce.

The apothecary-inspired bottle alone is a vanity upgrade. And the fragrance—a true blooming rose, with notes of musk and warm woods—delivers a bolt of beauty with every spritz.  

Just the perfect dry shampoo: It leaves zero residue, erases any traces of oil, and gives volume where you need it. 

A super versatile eyeshadow palette in shimmering neutral brown and rose shades. Wear them solo for a sweep of subtle color, or mix-and-match for a show-stopping smokey eye.  

A summer scent you’ll wear into fall and beyond. Inspired by sun-kissed citrus groves of Tunisia, this wafts with heady white floral orange blossom, bergamot, and neroli, grounded beautifully in creamy sandalwood. And the refillable gold bottle? A keeper. 

Can a 96 percent natural mascara really rival the traditional lash builders we’ve worn for years? Yes it can. Makeup artist Gucci Westman’s Eye Love You goes on like a lash-lengthening dream, defines, volumizes, and curls—and never crumbles or smears.
