Coco Chanel made this floral-aldehyde fragrance exclusive, intending to share only 100 bottles with her best clients. Marilyn Monroe made it sexy (she wore it to bed with nothing else). Millions of women have made it the number-one-selling fragrance worldwide today. (Available on Nieman Marcus – $105.00)

L’ORÉAL PARIS ELNETT SATIN HAIRSPRAY
Before this hair spray became widely available in the United States in 2008, hairstylists used to smuggle entire cases of it home from Paris. “It gives the ultimate light finish to the hair,” says stylist Nathaniel Hawkins, who brings it to every shoot. (Available on Amazon – $13.00).
Created by Max Huber, an aerospace physicist whose face was scarred from a chemical experiment gone awry, Crème de La Mer now has a cult following for its soothing, healing, and restorative properties. If you doubt its restorative power, check what others have to say on Nordstrom. (Available on Nordstrom – $450.00).
When this white, creamy cleansing bar was first introduced, in 1957, it changed the way we viewed soap forever. Now, 14 of them are sold every second in the United States. It’s gentle enough to use on your body and your face, and it leaves skin softer than the typical bar soap. ( Available on Amazon – $7.19).
AQUAPHOR ADVANCED THERAPY HEALING OINTMENT
If an A-list celebrity is toting around a $5 tube in her $5,000 Fendi bag, you know it’s something special. Beloved by Beyoncé, Anne Hathaway, and Kim Kardashian, this petrolatum-based ointment soothes dry, irritated skin—and it’s especially great on lips. (Available on Amazon – $21.47)
YVES SAINT LAURENT TOUCHE ÉCLAT
Touche Éclat (its name means “touch of radiance”) gets a lot of clicks—and we’re not just talking about the 30 it takes to activate it. In the U.S. alone, the product generates 350 Google searches a day, making it the number-one luxury concealer—though given how it brightens under eyes like no other, we think it deserves a category all its own. (Available on Nordstrom – $41.00)
CHANEL LE VERNIS IN BLACK SATIN
Talk about high demand: This supershiny black nail polish was the first Chanel product to ever have a waitlist and inspired Internet bidding wars when it was released, in 2006. (At one point, a single bottle reached $140 on eBay.) It was one of the hottest trends of that year, thanks to celebrity megafan Victoria Beckham. (Available on Nordstrom – $27.00).
M.A.C. LIPSTICK IN RUSSIAN RED
Madonna wore this deep, matte shade during her Blonde Ambition World Tour, causing lipsticks to fly off the shelves almost as quickly as her albums. More than 20 years later, it’s still one of M.A.C.’s top-selling reds, thanks to how great it looks on light, medium, and dark skin. (Available on Nordstrom – $16.00)
CLARISONIC CLASSIC SONIC SKIN CLEANSING SYSTEM
It was Oprah who really launched this oscillating facial cleanser into popularity. “It’s a miracle massage for your face!” she said. Everyone in the audience got one—and Lady Gaga, Demi Moore, and Justin Timberlake followed suit. The brush removes six times as much makeup and dirt as your hands alone, which not only clears pores but also makes skin-care products more effective. (Available on Clarisonic).
ELIZABETH ARDEN EIGHT HOUR CREAM SKIN PROTECTANT
Elizabeth Arden used this calming, apricot-colored balm to soothe her thoroughbred horses’ legs. Now, fans of the product (including Miley Cyrus and Gwyneth Paltrow) use it to moisturize dry skin, lips, and even their legs. (Available on Macys – $21.00).
DIOR DIORSHOW BUILDABLE VOLUME MASCARA
This mascara, which now has a glamorous celeb following, was inspired by a…toothbrush. After makeup artist Pat McGrath used one to apply mascara to models’ lashes backstage, Dior responded by designing an oversized, dense wand that creates lush, dramatic lashes. (Available on Dior – $25.00).
SHU UEMURA FALSE LASHES IN FARFALLINA
False lashes can look cheap because typically, they are. These strips cost about $20 per pair, but they look as natural as your real lashes. “These are really great because of the elastic band,” Murphy says. “It won’t change the shape of your eye like other strip lashes can.” (Available on Shu uemura – $21.00).
Most palettes contain at least one dud, a throwaway shade you’ll never touch. Not this one. Its perfect mix of neutral, matte, and shimmery shades look good on every skin tone—which is probably why one is sold every minute globally, and why beauty editors and bloggers alike use every last bit of the shadows. (Available on Macys – $54.00).
CND SHELLAC
We wouldn’t recommend making gel manicures a regular habit: Removing them can damage nails over time. But for special events, they’re a total lifesaver. CND’s super-shiny shades stay chip-free for more than a week, making them perfect for honeymoons, weekend trips, or back-to-back job interviews. (Available on Amazon – $18.95).
OPI NAIL LACQUER IN LINCOLN PARK AFTER DARK
Whenever we want to feel like a rock star, we turn to this midnight-purple polish. And we’re in good company: Rihanna, Fergie, and Taylor Swift have all been spotted wearing the sexy, dark shade. (Available on Macys – $9.50).
True story: While shooting a scene for MTV’s Fashionably Loud in Mexico in the middle of winter, makeup artist Scott Barnes needed to make the models look tan fast. He ran back to his hotel room, dumped a bunch of brown pigments, shimmer, and moisturizers into a blender, and came up with this believable bronze cream. Two weeks later he met Jennifer Lopez, and the J. Lo glow, not entirely her own, became her signature red-carpet look. (Available on Amazon – $28.00).
Inspired by the liberation of France following World War II, French couturier Robert Piquet wanted to create a fragrance that represented Paris’s freedom and femininity. He commissioned perfumer Germaine Cellier to create this intoxicating scent. “When a woman wears it, the tuberose mingles with the skin, so it’s impossible to tell where her natural scent ends and the perfume begins—that is the definition of a sexy fragrance,” says perfumer Frédéric Malle. (Available on Nordstrom – $150.00).
REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK IN BLACK CHERRY
Very few makeup products actually live up to their name, but this juicy shade is the exact color of a just-bitten black cherry. Swipe on one coat for a wash of berry color. Dab on two for an intense brownish-red that would make Kate Moss proud. (Available on Drugstore – $8.00).
NEUTROGENA HEALTHY SKIN ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM SPF 15
Packed with retinol, the gold standard of anti-aging ingredients, this cream has been proven to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and age spots while moisturizing the skin. And while you could spend more than ten times as much on cream, this one only cost about $15. (Available on Amazon – $12.47).
LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMOUFLAGE
This concealer duo contains two shades: one designed to match your skin’s color, another to match its undertones. Together, they truly cover up blemishes. “When you have a monster pimple and need a bulletproof concealer, this won’t move,” says Quinn Murphy. (Available on Nordstrom – $34.00).
