The beauty world is constantly changing and evolving, but it’s nice to know that every now and then there’s a product so fantastic that it sticks around for years. So we’re here to share with you our absolute favorite beauty products of all time!

It seem’s like there’s always a new color, new scent, or limited edition product that we just have to have — it usually gets used once and then is completely forgotten about. But some beauty products are so fantastic and essential that they have legions of devoted fans worldwide. We’re bringing you our absolute favorite cult beauty products that have us singing their praises from the rooftops! Check out our gallery to see all of our top picks.

Cult Classic Beauty Products — Ultimate Skin Savers

It’s hard to come across universally beloved skin care because every person has different needs. So when you come across a cult favorite skin care product, you know it’s the real deal! Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator is a favorite of beauty editors and customers alike — and it’s obvious why. The cream hydrates skin beautifully with a special oil-free formulation that doesn’t clog pores. We also love the absolute classic that is Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant. This cream has been protecting and hydrating skin for decades with no end in sight. It also pulls major muti-tasking duty as a cuticle cream, brown groomer, and even frizz-fighter.

If you’re looking for a new body lotion, then follow the lead of millions and try Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula to hydrate skin and combat stretch marks. Plus, it leaves skin smelling absolutely delectable!

Cult Favorites: Makeup

After you’ve gotten your skin in tip top shape, it’s time to try some cult favorite makeup! For luminous skin, we suggest Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, which has been a favorite in Allure and Vogue for years. To get a glow going, follow up with NARS Orgasm Blush. The name may be a little scandalous, but you’ll totally love the peachy pink hue. It looks amazing on every skin tone. For eyes, makeup artists adore the LORAC Pro Palette which gives you 16 fantastic neutral shades to create the perfect eye. Before heading out the door, we suggest a quick swipe of Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment to hydrate lips for hours with a nice glossy finish.

Cult Classic Hair Care Products

Finally, make sure you’re using the absolute best hair care products on the market. After a shower, try running a little Moroccanoil Treatment through your hair. The oil will make your ends noticeably softer and shinier with just one use and after a few weeks, you’ll see fewer split ends and less damage. After you’ve styled, make sure to set your hair with L’Oreal Elnett Satin Extra Hold Hairspray.  This hairspray was once only available in Europe, where it was horded by hairstylists and lugged back to America.  Thankfully, L’Oreal released a version of the product stateside and we’ve been smitten ever since!
