Gold as skincare “wow factor” ingredient and bees as narrative plot device make us yawn so hard our faces could become black holes. Yet Orlane’s new Crème Royale Eye Contour, which is jam-packed with the alchemist’s prize and the scientist-baffling goodness of queen-bee longevity ectoplasm, aka royal jelly, has us wishing for dark circles. After using this pearlescent ritzy meringue, our ocular pads feel as firm and elastic as a backyard trampoline. $300 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
