Everyone has their favourite beauty products, from the likes of a world famous concealor to a perfect lipgloss. But how great are these products in real life, and which ones are sitting in our cupboards at home? We round up our favourite cult beauty buys from a great sunscreen to the ultimate mascara...

This cult concealor is famed world over for its ability to erase fatigue from around the eyes. A few clicks of this stuff and that hard night partying will disappear. This best selling highlighting concealor was the first product on the market to use the brush and click technology, and pair an illuminator with a concealor. 2: Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 45 Daily Moisturiser from Neutrogena This lightweight moisturiser is an every day essential. Not only does it work to keep your skin soft and hydrated all day long, but it also provides superior protection from the sun’s damage. The innovative formula contains Helioplex, a sunscreen complex which helps block the harmful UVB-burning rays and UVA-aging rays, and help keep your skin looking youthful and healthy in the years to come. Not to mention the formula goes on smoothly and evenly, and feels light and fresh on; perfection. 3: Anatomicals Shower Cleansers from $16.00 from Off Cult beauty brand Anatomicals first started grabbing headlines for their hilarious product names (Snog Me Senseless lip balm anyone?), but quickly became just as famous for high quality products that do deliver. I am in love with its shower washes, and it appears I’m not the only one with a celeb following for the “You Need a Bloomin Shower” variation. Yes its $108.00 but it’s worth every cent! To be honest it was hard to just pick one cult buy from Nars, but The Multiple – a multi use product for body, cheeks, eyes and lips is definitely a standout. The first “multi use” product on the market, the perfect cream to powder consistency makes it virtually fool proof and the colour choices are spot on. A stick of The Multiple will last you so long that you won’t worry at all about the initial investment. A pot of Guerlian Les Meteorites contains small balls of pressed powder almost too pretty to actually use. But if you are brave enough, a brush over your foundation is like setting the world on the diffuse setting on a camera; you’ll look absolutely flawless. Les Meteorites comes in many different colour ways, from the beige pictured here to pink, mauve and peachy tones. Fermented paw paw gives this petroleum jelly based ointment a little bit of ompf. Paw Paw ointment can be used on boils, burns, chafing, cuts and cracked skin. Its great as a lip balm, cuticle cream and emergency cheek gloss. Not to mention it’s cheap as chips, and I dig the retro old school charm of the packaging. In a time when the world is seemingly obsessed with primers, beauty flash balm by Clarins still goes strong. Smooth onto skin after cleansing, but before moisturisng and feel your skin become smooth and soft. It’s like a pick me up in a tube, perfect for any day when you feel blah or every day so you can feel fantastic! It’s hard to have a conversation about nail colour without OPI coming up, that is of course because they are without doubt the most influential nail colour company world wide. Delivering fashion forward collections, with amazing names and themes and colours that get us all excited! Mor Cosmetics are an Aussie based company that comes up with Divine body products, Tee is a fan of the Marshmallow moisturiser, but the entire range encompassing everything from shower gel to Eau de Parfum with a delicious pink musk, white carnation, rose and vanilla atop candyfloss. The range has been a huge seller, and a main stay of the Mor collection and a divine way to pamper yourself in an affordable fashion. 10: Maybelline Great Lash $18.50 from Maybelline stockistsYou can spot the pink and green container a mile off; a hark back to when this cult beauty buy first hit the market in 1971. This mascara is just as popular now as it was then, with a Great Lash Mascara being sold in the States every 1.9 seconds. Internationally the product is known as “The Mascara” and has been the favourite of professional makeup artists, models and the celeb set for generations. 11: M.A.C Lipglass $45.00 from M.A.C CosmeticsWax BarEveryone has a favourite lip gloss, but it’s hard to fault MAC’s Lipglass collection. The smooth to apply, not too sticky long lasting lip gloss formulation boasts a plethora of sheer colour options. From the nudes and barely there tones to punchy hues of reds and purples as well as seasonal releases. The tubes are great with enough lip glass to keep you happy for a while but not so much that you are stuck with it forever and get board. Great over lippy too. Anya Merryfield
