If you’re a beauty lover, you’ve likely noticed the emerging #shelfie trend on social media lately. The #shelfie or #topshelf hashtag corresponds to those alluring still-life snaps of stylishly curated bathroom shelves and medicine cabinets, showing off a collection of luxe beauty products. Into The Gloss’s popular “Top Shelf” feature undoubtedly helped the trend go viral, and beauty lovers of all levels are showing off their own stash of must-haves.
The bathroom has earned more attention recently in the interior design sector, so it’s a natural progression for toiletries that could double as a work of art. Plus, aside from their aesthetic appeal, these products aren’t just a pretty face either — they’re praised for their performance too.
1. Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel
This all-natural astringent is infused with rose petals and aloe vera, leaving your skin feeling toned and clean without drying it out. Plus, its petal pink packaging has a vintage-inspired Art Nouveaux design that will look lovely on display in your medicine cabinet or vanity table.

Available in a variety of different colors from lilac (jasmine mint) to black (licorice), the retro-inspired design elevates your dental hygiene and looks much more presentable than your average mass-produced toothpaste.
