18 Classic Beauty Products Our Editors Will Buy Over and Over

"At my very first beauty job in magazines, the editor in chief tasked me with the delightful assignment of calling in samples of all her favorite 492 products. After about the third or fourth time it happened, I started to notice a theme in all of her requests: the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer ($45) was always on the list. Curious, one day I decided to call in an extra tube for myself to see what all the fuss was about — and yeah, I haven't been able to quit it ever since, either." — Kelsey Castañon, senior editor, Beauty
