Micellar water is a full-on movement at this point and it's all thanks to this one: Bioderma's iconic micellar water was the first to really get the ball rolling and it's easy to see why. The formula disappears your daily makeup in just a few swipes — no more scrubbing at your eyes to remove that stubborn mascara. It's pretty easy to get your hands on now, but it's totally understandable that people used to beg their traveling friends to bring this home from France.
You've heard celebrities and beauty bloggers sing its praises for ages but were never sure if you could believe it. The story of the sake brewery-inspired essence and the Cate Blanchett-worthy results sounded almost too good to be true — but rest assured, this essence delivers, if not a Cate Blanchett-worthy complexion, then the next best thing. A few simple swipes pave the way for a brighter, clearer complexion. In fact, the results are so good that you'll almost (almost!) forget the hefty price tag.
Embryolisse's mega-popular moisturizer first appeared on our radar as a backstage beauty secret: It's so moisturizing, nourishing and gentle, it's ideal for prepping models' oft-overworked complexions at fashion week. Now, the French cream is a staple for many, especially in drier winter months when skin needs a little extra TLC.
It's not hard to see why this face spray has achieved cult status: It's cute, convenient, super affordable and it smells amazing. Mario Badescu recently came out with different versions (each prettier and more gloriously scented than the last) but this one will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Much like Bioderma's micellar water, you could argue that this was one of the first cleansing oils to really hit it big. Fast-forward to 2018 and oils are a must-have in every double-cleansing regimen. The emollient texture gently removes even your toughest liquid eyeliner near instantly, then lightly emulsifies when you add water, making it a cinch to remove (without a smidge of residue).
