Why it's great: "Honestly, I've lost count of how many of these I own, because I keep them everywhere," says one reader. This reviewer favorite goes far beyond moisturizing lips. "My absolute favorite way to use this is as a moisturizer for my cuticles," says one reviewer. Other readers also use the balm "on burns" and "rashes." One reviewer adds, "The rose smell is wonderful, as is how long this little tin lasts. I will never be without this product!"
Why it's great: "What Coco [Chanel] created is a fragrance that has withstood time and trends," says one reader. "My husband goes wild when I wear it, so I save it for special occasions." "I just can't find another fragrance that has the same sexiness," one reviewer admits. "I do wear other fragrances from time to time, but none make me feel as womanly as No. 5."
Why it's great: "I absolutely will not use products that leave my hair crispy or crunchy," says one reader. "No risk of that with this hairspray!" Another reviewer loves the product's "firm but flexible hold." There's no stiffness, crunchiness or flakes, and hair [stays] soft all day."
Why it's great: "I've never found anything better to help seal skin after showering without causing blemishes," says one reader of this moisturizing oil. Another reviewer suggests mixing in a bit with your body lotion to help it absorb more easily. "It gives the skin a nice, sheer, soft, oily/moisturized, healthy look about it," says a fan. "It looks really nice on the legs, and isn't bad used in bath water."
