Too Legit to Quit: 5 Beauty Products Our Editors Always Go Back toSure, hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of beauty products come across our desks each year, but these are the ones we'll never stop using. Ever |
Cinya Burton, Senior Associate Editor 1. Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes, $5.99
These wipes are my everything. They are my toner, moisturizer, and makeup remover. Cleansers and serums may come and go, but these wipes are forever.
2. Benefit Magic Ink, $20
I've been fiercely loyal to Magic Ink since it came out three years ago. Obviously, the tiny brush is essential in creating a flawless cat eye. But the real reason I've stuck with it is the formula. It's pitch black and doesn't fade or smudge -- even if you leave it on (by accident!) overnight.
3. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Thermal Protect Formula, $8.99
Because I straighten my curly hair every week, I'm constantly on the hunt for a product that will protect my strands from being fried. But even through all my trials with pricey creams and serums, I always find myself reaching for this drugstore staple when it comes time to flat iron. It's just the best at keeping my hair silky and not sticky.
4. Marc Jacobs Fragrance in Biscotti
When I first sniffed this fragrance a few years ago, my first thought was this: "I've found my scent soul mate!" So you can imagine my sheer panic when I found out it was limited edition. I knew I couldn't live without it, so I stocked up like a crazy hoarder before it left shelves.
5. Neutrogena Body Clear Wash Pink Grapefruit, $7
I'm so not a morning person, which means I need a little push to get me going. I don't drink coffee, so this zesty, fresh scent is my morning pick-me-up. Plus, there's the added bonus that it also keeps my body blemish and bump-free.

It's so great to hear about all-time favorites instead of just whatever new products companies are throwing at you.

It's cool to see beauty editors that actually use drug store products :] I am always curious to see what other men and women like to use too...Great article!

I have a lot of likes in common with Sarah - Cetaphil, tinted moisturizer, Head & Shoulders, and Pure Grace!
