In the wide and varied world of trendy products, though, it\u2019s the old standbys that emerge as the true<\/em> tried-and-true favorites of all. These have a tendency to appear on many a makeup junkie\u2019s must-have lists, thanks to their quality and proven ability to stand the test of time. Here are eight cult beauty classics that absolutely everyone should have. Trust us: they\u2019re worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must-own cult beauty classics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smith\u2019s rosebud salve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Originally known as a multipurpose balm, Smith\u2019s Rosebud Salve eventually became one of the world\u2019s most beloved lip treatments. Soft, creamy and beautifully scented, the delicate balm is as effective as it is pleasant to the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Smith's<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once available solely in a cute tin pot, the beloved salve is now also sold in tube form and available in several other flavors, including mocha, strawberry, and mandarin. All are worth a try, but ultimately it\u2019s the classic tin from 1892 that earns the most accolades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opi I\u2019m not really a waitress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s difficult to envision a red that works well on everyone<\/em>, but OPI I\u2019m Not Really a Waitress\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> somehow manages this nearly impossible feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OPI<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Granted, red nails aren\u2019t nearly as tricky to pull off as red lips. Still, there\u2019s something undeniably impressive about a deep, sultry rouge infused with shimmer that really captures the spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This red is rich and romantic, sexy and bold, classy and elegant all at once. It\u2019s a true red, but there\u2019s a nuance to it that makes it more intriguing than the standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Arden eight hour\u00ae skin cream protectant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Developed in 1930 by the company\u2019s namesake, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour\u00ae Skin Cream Protectant was originally designed to soothe the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Elizabeth<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Its versatility is what makes it such an all-around perfect product for anyone\u2019s beauty arsenal. The creamy formula is just as effective on chapped lips as it is on flyaway hair. Try it on rough skin, out-of-control eyebrows, dry feet, rough cuticles and just about anywhere else that you feel needs a little comforting TLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nourishing product contains exfoliating salicylic acid and hydrating vitamin E to protect the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nars orgasm blush<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the world of luxury makeup, few blushes earn raves like NARS Orgasm<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s renowned for its ability to flatter virtually any skin tone<\/a>. The soft peach-meets-pink flush is vibrant yet natural, producing a lit-from-within glow that rivals the sort of finish you might experience after a morning jog. The effect is flattering, elegant, and easy to build up if you prefer more enhanced color payoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NARS<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dust it on cheekbones, temples, and anywhere else that you need a pop to brighten up your complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac Ruby woo lipstick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is MAC Ruby Woo<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> the ultimate red lipstick? The collective beauty world says yes! This hue is renowned largely for its ability to flatter most skin tones. It\u2019s a celebrity favorite, but you don\u2019t have to be a red carpet regular to flaunt this fiery hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mac<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Give it a go on date night, to shake up your beauty routine, or to make red a more integral part of your look. It\u2019s bold enough to play well on its own. For maximum results, balance Ruby Woo with low-key eyes and a gentle, natural flush on your cheekbones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mario badescu drying lotion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nothing says \u201cgreat timing\u201d like a blemish that develops the night before a special event. That’s the moment you need Mario Badescu Drying Lotion<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> to work its magic overnight. The solution contains salicylic acid, calamine, and sulfur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Drying<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While it may look like you need to shake it up to apply it, don\u2019t make that mistake. Simply place it on a level surface, dip a cotton swab into the pink powder settled at the bottom, and apply directly to the blemish. Let it do its thing overnight. You\u2019ll wake up to a less visible pimple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybelline great lash mascara<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This drugstore favorite is regularly recognized for its eye-catching pink and green tube, but Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is far more than just pretty packaging. Since its creation in 1971, it\u2019s been a best-selling product \u2014 and legend has it that a tube is sold every 2.5 seconds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Maybelline<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This mascara<\/a> instantly revitalizes tired eyes, builds up the volume, and enhances any look. It\u2019s available in a variety of standard colors, and Maybelline occasionally releases special editions in fun colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Dennis gross Alpha beta\u00ae universal daily peel pads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s difficult to imagine that a facial peel could ever earn such rave reviews when so many other similar products crowd the shelves. Yet Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta\u00ae Universal Daily Peel Pads<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> have earned their status for the visible results they produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dr.<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
