14 Best Classic Beauty Products
See the tried and true beauty products our readers have been using for years -- and never plan to give up
We call them classic beauty products for a reason. They've been around for ages and have become staples in our makeup bags and bathroom cabinets. You know the beauty products we're talking about -- the ones your mother (or even grandmother) used that eventually (against your strongest will) became your favorites.
See the classic beauty products our readers love now.
And since you, like us, tend to get a little nostalgic when it comes to beauty products -- whether you use them regularly or revisit them when your newer beauty products don't deliver -- we rounded up a list of the ones our readers say are the best.
But before you see them, here are a few fun facts about these classic beauty products:
- One bottle of Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion, $24 sells every 5.3 seconds around the world.
- Noxema Deep Cleansing Cream, $4.99 was invented in 1914 as a skincare "cure-all" and got its name because customers used it to treat eczema. In the '50s, it was marketed as a skin cleanser/cold cream after a company secretary said it made the skin on her face look beautiful.
- L'Oréal Paris sells 1.3 cans of L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray, $14.99 every minute in the United States.
-Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara, $4.99 launched in the United States in 1971 and is still the best-selling drugstore brand mascara -- a tube is sold every 1.5 seconds.
- La Prairie was the first to introduce caviar to the cosmetics market with La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, $390 over 20 years ago -- in 1987.
-Benefit Benetint, $28 was originally made in 1977 for an exotic dancer to make her nipples look "pretty and pink."
Without further ado, check out the list of the best classic beauty products.
