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 |
Emily Popp, Associate Editor 1. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Rose, $22.50
I absolutely hate the feeling of dry lips. I have to re-apply lip balm constantly to keep my lips feeling acceptably soft and moisturized. This has a pretty, sheer tint and it hydrates my lips better than anything else I've tried. And I've tried a lot of stuff.
2. Benefit That Gal, $29
This is, hands down, my favorite brightening face primer that I go back to again and again. I've been using it for years and I run through it like water. It's the only face brightener I've used that actually smells nice, and it gives that perfect, natural dewy-finish. Plus, I'm a sucker for Benefit's cute packaging, but who isn't?
3. MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer, $18
I would sooner leave my house in my underwear than not put on under eye concealer. I swear by this stuff because it gives the best coverage. Plus, it's one of those products where a dab will do ya, so you get a ton of mileage out of the small pot.
4. Guerlain Rose Aux Joues Blush in Pink Punk, $50
It's funny that I keep going back to this blush, because I've always been against powdered blushes. I'm a cheek stain girl through and through. But something about this "Pink Punk" color is just the right rosy shade for that perfect flushed look all day.
5. Sally Hershberger Salon Keratin RX, $24
I feel like every time I try a new hair product, it's a game of Russian roulette. So many products weigh my hair down and make it limp and heavy. But I always return to Sally Hershberger's Keratin RX spray because it is light-as-air. I spray it onto damp hair after I shower, and it leaves my hair silky smooth every single time.

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!
