Bought Up in a Blink of an Eye
By: Rachel Desiree
With countless of beauty products out there, have you ever wonder which iconic ones are the most coveted of all? Well, we present to you four awesome items that truly do the job and let me stress here that these products are snapped up every second all around the world!
Nivea Crème
Launched November 23, 1911, pharmacist Oscar Troplowitz, combined together Eucerit (a revolutionary emulsifier) with glycerin, a little citric acid and oil of rose as well as lily of the valley to give it a fine perfume. The rest as they say, is history. This classic creation that provides intensive moisture for all skin types instantly became a hit- and still is, right up till today. 10,000 tonnes of Nivea Crème is produced annually and filled into approximately 55 million signature blue tins, to be sold worldwide in more than 170 countries! Slather on this multi-functional cream to face, hands, body, arms or legs as often as required and watch that skin glow.
Clinique 3-Step Skincare System
This skincare system was the first ever dermatologist-created, allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free collection of beauty products. Here’s an invention which caters to different skin types, ethnicities and ages, to attain gorgeous skin for nearly five decades now (since 1967). The formula still hasn’t changed, except it now has a liquid soap too. It’s so simple and effective that it takes just 3 minutes, morning and night, to start to wake up in great skin. The tailor-made appeal will help you unveil more radiant looking skin. Clinique consistently ships 41 units of 3-Step every single minute, which comes off as no surprise, doesn’t it?
Benefit Benetint
You can start to blush now, since you are going to get to know that this product was originally conceived in San Francisco in the 1970s for an exotic dancer who requested for something to make her nipples look pretty & pink! Today, it is known as the original-and still the best-rose-tinted cheek and lip stain. Loyal users simply love this product as it provides a gorgeous flush is truly easy to achieve. You’ll get to be streak free with kiss proof colour that can really be used just about anywhere on the face! Simply draw three small stripes across the apple of your cheek. Blend in a circular motion with fingertips. Apply Benetint to lips with a clean q-tip… even after your lipstick wears off you’ll still have a rosy glow! Just so you know, one bottle of this magic potion is sold every 30 seconds!
Lancôme Juicy Tubes
Here’s a lip gloss that has become one of the most sought-after beauty products around. Expect 30 permanent shades and countless limited edition offerings that are just simply irresistible. Imagine having the chance to pick out a different shade/flavour every day, whole month long! The Juicy Tubes formula is the 1st fruit-scented gloss in a tube ever. It sits comfortably on your lips, thanks to the shiny oils, which help to moisturize your lips. A definite value for money due to it’s thick consistency that lasts for ages with a great smell and amazing taste that oh well, will simply let you have a luscious, pretty pucker. It’s really no wonder that 11 Juicy Tubes are sold around the world every minute!
