One of the (privileged) occupational hazards of working for a fashion magazine is navigating the continual influx of beauty new releases that find their way across our desks. Some are trending, some are timeless, and some are touting to be the next big thing. Naturally, not every product lives up to the hype (at least not in our experience) and only a select few make it into our editors’ daily regimens. From splurge products worth every cent, to the go-to facials and the tried-and-true essentials we can’t travel without, over the next few weeks, we reveal each team member’s GOAT beauty products they’d happily repurchase time and time again. Better beauty buying, everyone.
