Both directions feel polished—the editorial hero in Option 1 has a stronger first read, while Option 2 makes the product hierarchy immediately scannable. I’d lean Option 1 for the calmer beauty-space storytelling.

I'd go with Option 2! The product hierarchy is super clean and makes it much easier to browse the products right away.

Tough call to make

I agree with Option 2. The color palette resonates perfectly with the hydration theme, making the UI feel both elegant and effortless to navigate.

option 2's grid gets you to the products faster, option 1 is prettier but you scroll a while before anything's buyable
