There are so many beauty products that come and go from the market. Some, however, are so good that they achieve cult status and frequently feature on social media. Here are eight cult beauty products at Edgars to add to your collection.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
This is one of the first balm cleansers that hit the Western market and it still reigns supreme today. This luxury brand combines scientific innovation with natural ingredients. This best-selling product contains no mineral oils and melts away make-up, sunscreen and skincare, while unclogging pores for a smooth, soft complexion.
La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream
This face cream first hit the shelves in 2012 and is a lighter version of the brand’s original Crème de la Mer. The formula is lightweight, making it suitable for all skin types, has powerful anti-ageing benefits and contains the iconic Miracle Broth to keep skin hydrated, smooth and soft.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum
Almost 22 bottles of this popular serum sell every minute and it has 883 million views on TikTok. Because – yes – it’s that good! When used as part of an evening skincare routine, it assists in keeping skin hydrated and delivers a potent dose of brightening antioxidants to promote radiance.
Maybelline Instant Age Eraser Concealer
Not just a *really good* concealer, this beloved make-up product contains antioxidants and has a moisturising formula to keep your eye area plump and hydrated. It comes in a range of diverse shades so you can find your perfect match and it has an easy-to-use sponge tip so no application tools are necessary!
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact
Many brands have tried to create their own versions of this popular highlighting compact, but none of them come close to the original. Each one is made up of five bars of pearlescent shades that come together when blended to deliver a sunlit glow. It has a silky feel for dreamy application.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss
Before you go the cosmetic injection route, you might want to get your hands on this extraordinary lip gloss. It comes in a range of flattering, trendy and neutral shades if you want to add a pop of colour along with a juicy shine. It also has a selection of finishes, from clear to shimmery to holographic.
Clinique Almost Lipstick
It’s not really the entire range that has achieved cult status – although it is amazing – but one shade: Black Honey. This deep-berry colour dates back to 1989 and is so popular because it is so universally flattering. Gen-Z continues to embrace this hue, with this lipstick getting over 575 million views on TikTok.
Benefit Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain
This product was the first of its kind in the make-up world and is still considered the best. The rosy-hued formula is watery, allowing wearers to customise their blush or lips and build colour for a sheer or more pigmented look. One of the many things that’s great about it is how long it lasts – no touch-ups necessary!
