The bags also included $45,000 of body-contouring treatments and Miage's full line of skincare products.

In a statement, company founder Lash Fary said while the gift bags were fun, they were also meant to give back.
"While our gifts may be famous for being fun and fabulous, they also serve as a means to elevate small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back.
"This year, on the heels of the historically tragic LA fires, we have found even more ways that our celebrity swag can do good in our community."
Fary said the "incredible" gift bags - going to some of the top 25 acting and directing nominees - were to "brighten someone's day if they do go home empty handed on Oscar night".
"Also including some simple but significant ways for these nominees to give back," he said in a video on social media.
The company has been gifting out the goodie bags at the annual awards ceremony for the last 23 years.
