Too Legit to Quit: 5 Beauty Products Our Editors Always Go Back to
Sure, hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of beauty products come across our desks each year, but these are the ones we'll never stop using. Ever
Meghan Rabbitt, Executive Editor 1. MD Solar Sciences Mineral Tinted Crème SPF 30 Broad Spectrum, $32
This is the silkiest, smoothest sunscreen I've ever put on my face. I actually look forward to putting it on every day, which is the first time in my life I can say that about a sunscreen. And the tint gives me enough coverage that I can skip foundation altogether. Amazing.
2. Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Eye Primer + Shadow + Liner in Kitten, $22
This stuff has changed my makeup world. It's an eye makeup primer, which means any shadows or eyeliner I layer on top stay put for hours. And this shade -- Kitten -- is really layer-able. I put on one or two layers on most days and that's it -- the gold undertones bring out the blue in my eyes. And when I want to go for more drama, I layer a few of my favorite shadows on top. Plus, the stick is so convenient -- this gem is always in my makeup bag.
3. Korres Magic Light Face Contouring Trio, $28
This is a new addition to my makeup haul, and I've now been using it every day for the last two months. In one compact, you get a bronzer, a blush, and a highlighting powder. Some days, I just use the blush/highlighter combo to brighten up my skin. Other days, I contour with the bronzer. And no matter what I do, my skin always looks natural -- none of the telltale signs that my cheekbones really aren't as high as they look (cough -- like the Kardashian Klan).
4. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo, $34
This is the best colored gloss I've ever tried, and the pink-red color is perfect for my fair (and pink-ish) skin tone. It's sheer but packs a lot of color, it lasts for a couple hours, and it's super moisturizing and not at all sticky.
5. CND Solar Oil, $7.50
I stash bottles of this nail and cuticle oil everywhere -- in my bathroom, on my desk at work (and at home), in my car, on my nightstand. I always had the worst cuticles and dry-looking nails, and now I can go manicure-free and my nails look neat and polished. Plus, the almond scent is so happy-making.
