Join the Cult!

For those of you who are not as beauty-obsessed as I am, you may not know what a "cult favorite" is. It's basically a product that has a small following, but the few people who buy it are crazy about it. Kind of like Rocky Horror Picture Show or Napoleon Dynamite. So here are a few popular products in the beauty world, and I'm sure as JLo is having twins you'll love them just as much as I do!

• Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, $17. Once you try this stuff for the first time, you'll understand why it's so popular. If you have breakouts every now and then, this is a great thing for you because it pretty much zaps zits overnight. You just dab a Q-tip in the solution (make sure you get to the pink stuff--it's calamine lotion--and don't ever shake the bottle!) and put it on the offending blemish. Let it dry, and lights out! The next morning, your zit will be gone. Or at least go-ing. I promise.






• Smith's Rosebud Salve, $6. Many would argue that this stuff is fancy Vaseline, and I would have to agree. Raised in a family where Vaseline is used for everything from hair to getting people's heads unstuck from the banisters, I have to say that Rosebud Salve feels much better on lips. I've also experienced the Vaseline clumping together and looking like some kind of gross glue on my lips--Ew, right?! SRS doesn't do that at all. And you can use this stuff for everything from lips to moisturizing cuticles or keeping brows groomed.



• Solar Oil, $8. Okay, so in the winter, everything gets dry for me--my hair, my skin, and my cuticles. Conditioner and heavier moisturizers have been able to solve the first two, but what about the latter? Until I tried Solar Oil, I wasn't able to figure out a damn thing to do with my poor nails. They're always looking flaky and dried-out! Now, every night before I go to bed I swipe some of the good-smelling stuff onto my nails. It makes my nails feel awesome and they're super-moisturized and pretty-looking all day. I am a woman who likes to keep her nails groomed. Even though I use clear polish, my nails have to be perfectly shaped and cleaned. So hangnails kind of ruin that look. This stuff works.


• Nars Orgasm Blush, $20. I can tell you right now, as a true testimony, why this stuff is so amazing! It's because people of all skintones can wear it--it's universally flattering! For me it give off a really peachy glow that I adore--I'll definitely be taking this with me when I go to Jamaica next month! Believe me--if you're so over your old blush, try this. It. Will. Change. Your. Life.

I hope you guys keep the comments coming, even though I've moved my site! I love your bloggership! And I'd love it if you posted some of your favorite products.

Ta-ta,
