Golden kettles weren’t the only thing stars took home from the second annual Virtual Reali-Tea Awards.

Hosted by Page Six’s Danny Murphy and Evan Real, the headline-making evening brought together over 60 of reality TV’s biggest stars, including famous faces from “Summer House,” “Real Housewives,” “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and more.

And win or lose, we couldn’t let our favorite celebs leave empty-handed. Below, take a peek inside year’s gift bags, which were packed with sweet treats, skin care and even diamond tennis bracelets.

Exclusive cosmetics sponsor CoverGirl set up a touch-up bar at the official VRT Awards after-party, making sure each attendee felt glam the entire night. Products included the brand’s lip stain, which stays on for hours — even when you’re sipping Kahlúa espresso martinis.

Guests were also gifted the long-lasting lip pens, which are designed to feel up to five times more lightweight than standard lipstick.

Stars can complete the look with the brand’s hydrating gloss, which comes in eight gorgeous colors.

The night was certainly something to write home about. And in addition to being the exclusive streaming partner of this year’s sold-out awards show, Philo also gave out pens and leather notebooks reading, “Taking names and keeping receipts.”

You can watch the full show for free on the streaming service starting Oct. 9.

Tri-State Cadillac added an adorable keychain with Luann’s famous saying, “Money can’t buy you class,” alongside the VRT Awards themed bag charms.

Our favorite stars will be shining a little extra thanks to this gorgeous blush, which provides a radiant, lit-from-within glow. There’s nothing more easy, breezy and beautiful than that!

Another beauty product that can survive a full night on the dance floor? This wrapping mascara, which is designed to stay flake- and smudge-free for up to 30 hours.

Tri-State Cadillac also treated us to these Dylan’s Candy Bar chocolates — wrapped in iconic “Housewives”-inspired sayings, of course.

This multitasking formula works as hard as a booked-and-busy reality star. In addition to helping strengthen and soften dry, brittle hair, it can also be used to moisturize in between wash days — or even to help nourish hair extensions.

Plenty of stars (and editors) already swear by this hydrating makeup remover-cleanser hybrid, so it was a shoo-in for the gift bags. Page Six Deputy Editor Desiree Murphy is a big fan of the formula, saying it “removes even the toughest of makeup and leaves the skin feeling soft, tight, and hydrated.”

RoC is no stranger to reality TV icons (case in point: the brand’s star-studded campaign this summer). This two-step, non-invasive exfoliating treatment is clinically proven to target five signs of aging: lines, wrinkles, dullness, rough texture and enlarged pores.

This cozy blanket has a pocket for your feet at the bottom — perfect for staying warm while binge-watching reality shows this winter.

Sweet treats also had a place of honor in the gift bags, thanks to gummies from Ferrara Candy.
