Hello beauty lover, why don’t we take a trip down memory lane?
With some beauty faves, of course, it can be challenging to know what to buy with all the options out there. All the new products are coming out while the older faves are on the shelves.
So here’s a list of the favourites that have been consistently in the makeup kits over the years. From cult favourite skincare to holy grail makeup products, you’ll use it until the last drop.
1) Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
To start, a makeup remover is essential. Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a well-known makeup remover and seriously a favourite for efficiently removing makeup. Often sold out, so no complaints here. This balm preps the skin nicely for a good clean afterwards!
2) CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
Finding a cleanser that works for you and your skin concerns can be difficult with all the skincare. CeraVe’s cleanser options have something for everyone, and I am still waiting to hear anyone that has used this and had any issues with it. It’s gentle enough for everyday use and cleans the face like a dream. Definitely a must-try!
Of course, everyone loves a good moisturizer, so a couple of favourites…Now, most people have seen or heard of the Tatcha creams, and again, there is something for everyone’s skin type. My favourite is the dewy skin cream… heavenly! I swear your skin will thank you every time you use this.
4) SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essence
The fountain of youth in a mask. From a luxurious award-winning skincare line, this essence softens texture, evens skin tone, enhances radiance and reduces the appearance of dark spots & fine lines, leaving you with angelic dewy skin. Worth every penny!!!
5) Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Moisturized for the face but how about the body? The Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is wildly viral. For a reason, this cream smells amazing! Those who don’t like a fragrance in a body cream should skip this one. However, for the summer especially, this cream is a dream! It does its job, keeping the skin nice and hydrated while smelling amazing. Love love this cream!
6) L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick
One word: WOW! Very comparable to high-end lipsticks; the pigment in these lipsticks is lovely and packed with full coverage on the first swipe. The colour options are also beautiful; you will surely find the perfect everyday lipstick in this line!
7) Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eye Liner
Everyone loves a good liquid eyeliner for that perfect staple wing liner, right? The Stila Stay All Day Eye Liner is a must! The pigment is fantastic and lives up to its name. It truly does not budge once applied. This is quite the popular one as well.
Onto a cult favourite for makeup, the Beautyblender! I’m sure everyone and their mom has heard about this sponge. It’s a must for blending. As we have seen, many brands imitate this sponge; however, the original has always retained its popularity. Blending out creams to liquids effortlessly, this sponge has to be a part of your kit!
9) Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder
Haven’t tried a setting powder yet? Don’t just settle for any setting powder. Cult favourite and winner of major awards, Laura Mercier’s light and beautiful Translucent Loose Setting Powder, is a game-changer. I love this powder for sitting under the eyes and oily spots on the face; this one lasts all day. Have been using this powder for years and wouldn’t consider using anything else!!
10) Ruby Woo
What are you doing if you don’t have Mac Cosmetics Ruby Woo?! A classic retro matte red lip with a fade-proof formula and blue undertones. The red lipstick of your dreams makes you feel confident and effortlessly bold with that old Hollywood charm. A classic cult favourite for a reason.
Iconic Nars Orgasm Blush has been a huge cult favourite for a million years. A sparkly pink with buildable coverage gives a flattering 3lovely glow to your cheekbones and stays all day. Superfine and silky powder. Simply irresistible!!
12) Velvet Teddy
More for an everyday lip, we have a popular and well-known lipstick Velvet Teddy. A matte and deeper tone beige that is primarily a warmer tone but can change depending on skin tone and lip liner paired with it. Such a lovely nude, and you must try this colour for your next everyday nude!
13) Shiseido Power Infusing Serum
An absolute must-have for all skin types!! The serum is infused with eight botanical ingredients that help to activate your skin’s inner defences and stimulate circulation. Some ingredients, such as reishi mushrooms, iris extract, lotus and ginko, collectively boost hydration and lift and firm up my skin to leave it looking radiant.
Another pick for liquid and the extremely viral Soft Pinch Liquid Blushes from Rare Beauty is another classic for blushes; as a little goes a long way, these last for a long time!
With the endless eyeshadow palettes on the market, it takes time to pick out the best of the best. However, there are treasures to remember when picking out what’s best! Urban Decay Naked palettes… were huge when they first came on the market! They have every shade you need for a perfect everyday nude look, or take it to a night look with a perfect smokey eye! My fave is the Naked Heat Palette, with warmer tones. However, there is something for everyone with each palette.
16) YSL Black Opium
This bold and sensual perfume is the one I gravitate to the most. It’s such an amazing scent; I could talk about it all day… but I’ll keep it short; if you haven’t tried it yet, go smell it, and you’re guaranteed to fall in love!
17) Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Now for the foundation, it takes a lot of work to pick out the best, considering there is much on the market. However, the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is a classic for many splurging on a good foundation. If you love a lightweight foundation, you will love this one. It’s sensitive skin-friendly, does NOT enhance pores or wrinkles, blends flawlessly, and lasts all day, giving your skin a natural glowy finish. So beautiful; you need this ASAP!!!
A community cult favourite!!! This moisturizing mask lasts a long time for deep hydration without icky stickiness. This mask lasts a long time. You can use it day or night and with the formulation of vitamin C. A huge best seller with reason.
19) Fresh Sugar Lip Polish Exfoliator
A must-try for dry, flaky, and cracked lips. The Fresh Sugar Lip Polish is a great Lip Scrub and a go-to for many who want fresh, hydrated lips. You’ll love this lip mask, formulated with real brown sugar to remove flakes and many other natural, hydrating ingredients!
20) Augustinus Bader The Face Oil
A magnificent oil that has a deep golden colour. The oil is not thick and doesn’t leave your face greasy or overly shiny. It has a richness that’s deeply moisturizing and calming to the skin. A wonderful compliment to the entire skincare routine I purchased. A beautiful start to your new skincare journey!
21) Ariana Grande Cloud Perfume
Another celebrity fragrance is the Ariana Grande Cloud perfume. Every time I wear this, I get compliments and questions about what I am wearing. It’s so clean, unique, and undeniably pleasing. Try it for yourself!!
