Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day


Sephora recently released an email that spelled out 8 of their best cult classics. In case you don't know, a cult classic is, in the most basic sense, a product that once it's tried, the user is immediately obsessed. A small community or "cult" forms around these products. Individuals cannot stop raving about the product for years after their first encounter. If you've ever had one of these episodes, you know what we're talking about.

Best of all, most cult classics are often top quality yet completely affordable. Does it get any better?
