In an unusual twist, Pat McGrath Labs has found itself at the center of one of the beauty industry‘s most unexpected mix-ups. The company inadvertently shipped three $10,000 diamond-encrusted rings intended as personal gifts for supermodel Alex Consani and influencer Tefi Pessoa. Due to a factory mishap, these lavish rings, part of a collaboration with the Candy Crush collection, ended up mistakenly packed with recent makeup orders. Now, purchasers of the new line could find themselves the unexpected owners of these high-value accessories.

The rings, crafted by the renowned British jewelry house Basliq, are celebrated for their designs which often feature exquisite gems set in solid gold. For the Candy Crush collaboration, Basliq reimagined its signature “Drop Ring,” which elegantly spirals around the finger twice. Basliq’s creations are favored by celebrities such as Beyoncé and Gigi Hadid, adding to the appeal of this accidental giveaway.
Pat McGrath, the founder and CEO of Pat McGrath Labs, commented on the incident with her usual flair for the dramatic: “Beauty should always be an adventure. This collection is all about joy, play, and opulence , and now, three lucky individuals will unwrap a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. How divine is that?”
Adding to the excitement, Luken Aragon, vice president of marketing for Candy Crush Saga at King, shared his delight over the unintended thrill. “We wanted this collection to capture the magic of play, but we never imagined it would spark a real-life game,” he stated. “This is exactly what Candy Crush Saga is all about, fun, surprise, and playful moments. Now, the only question is: who will unpack the missing rings?”
This mix-up means that anyone purchasing one of the new “MatteTrance” lipsticks from this collection might just become the lucky recipient of one of these exclusive rings originally intended for Consani or Pessoa. The unexpected twist has added an extra layer of excitement to the buying experience, transforming a routine purchase into a potential jackpot.
