    57 Beauty Products So Good That Reviewers Literally Call Them Their "Holy Grail"

    Once you've found the eye cream that you thought was too good to exist, there's no turning back.

    1. A tube of Monistat chafing relief gel powder gives ya' similar prep work and staying power as luxury primers the likes of Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.

    2. John Frieda Hot Air Brush handles the blowout for you. No more figuring out how the heck to maneuver a blow-dryer *and* round brush.

    3. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream — it's made to soften and freshen up your under-eyes...and according to reviews, can help lighten dark facial scars.

    4. Essence Cosmetics Princess False Lash Effect Mascara makes for a super-dramatic before and after. Prepare to get grilled about where you got your eyelash extensions.

    BuzzFeed writer Nusrat Sultana is a big fan! She said: 

    "I have this in several colors and always love how it colors my lips and lasts all day without me having to reapply because of the stain effect. You don't need to worry if the color is there. If your lips feel dry, just rub some lip balm over them — the color stays! You can also build up the color for intensity or swipe it once and blot for a natural-looking gradient stain."

    Promising review: "I've been looking for a good, long-lasting tint for a while now and have been disappointed nearly every single time. Most of the products would fade or go on really unevenly, causing me to have to reapply multiple times. Not these! These stay on through both food and drink (I've tested them with sandwiches, soup, soft drinks, water bottles, etc.) AND smooth over any dry areas on your lips to make them look really soft and not chapped at all. The applicator also makes it really easy to get the product exactly where you want it. I have long days from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and I usually only reapply once or twice — and even then, it's only necessary when I've been doing some hardcore stress eating. I've finally found my holy grail lip tint!" —Wendy K.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 12 shades. Find more shades here).

    6. Verb Ghost Oil makes quick work of taming frizz and flyaways. This is THE BEST hair oil if you have coarse, thick hair like me. Reviewers with hair textures up to 4c rave about it!

    7. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré – it combats all sorts of dry-skin woes, whether it's because your skin is just that way or you're trying to undo overuse of retinol or other harsh skincare ingredients. You can even use it as a makeup primer or mask.

    26. A Makeup Eraser washcloth easily takes off a full face of makeup with mere water. Then if you flip it to the other side you can use it to exfoliate your skin!

    27. Glossier Solution scrubs pores and skin with a trio of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) to help loosen the yucky stuff to make way for lightened scars, smaller-looking pores, and fewer blemishes.

    38. Humane Acne Wash, a strong, 10% benzoyl peroxide cleanser that's totally vegan friendly — the only thing it's cruel to is acne.

    39. Baebody Eye Gel, a depuffing, hydrating, and firming serum you can use on other places besides your eyes, like your face and neck!
