<h2>The best in beauty products that have truly stood the test of time.  Tried and true, these still rock.</h2>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/calvin-klein-delicious-light-glistening-lip-gloss-in-maven-for-nights-out">Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lip Gloss</a></strong> ($17.00) was a surprising discovery I made during last year&#8217;s Friends &amp; Family sale at Sephora.  I impulsively purchased Maven lip gloss, and I was quite pleased with it when I received it.  In fact, I liked it so much, I went to my local Sephora and picked up three more &#8212; Knockout, Taffy, and Radar (at full price, even!).  Shimmery, fairly pigmented glosses with exceptional glossiness and smooth texture.  It didn&#8217;t feel sticky to me, but it wasn&#8217;t slipping off my lips either.

<p><strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/yes-to-carrots-frosty-loves-c-lip-butters-review">Yes To Carrots C Me Smile Lip Butters</a></strong> ($3.69) is one of those brands I find cute, affordable, and reliable.  I&#8217;ve never not loved a Yes To Carrots product.  They have a whole slew of flavors from Citrus (my personal favorite!), Melon, Berry, Carrot, and Mint.  Super hydrating, deliciously scented, and lightly glossy.  These just melt like butter on your lips.

<p><strong>See three more of my long-standing faves</strong>! <span id="more-9582"></span><strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/lush-sweet-japanese-girl-cleanser-for-a-facial-treat">Lush Sweet Japanese Girl Cleanser</a></strong> ($10.25 for 1.2 oz.) made my skin feel ridiculously smooth, soft, and hydrated every time I used it.  It&#8217;s lightly exfoliating, and a lot of Lush fans love to use this to reduce blackheads on their noses.  I just like the way my skin feels after using it, personally!  Available at <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2489716-10415715"  target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_top">Lush</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/true-blue-spa-just-a-minute-manicure-scrub-for-soft-paws">True Blue Spa Just a Minute Manicure Scrub</a></strong> ($12.00 for 5 oz.) is an amazing scrub for your hands.  I wash my hands a gazillion times a day, so my hands tend to dry out.  I moisturize them when I remember, but exfoliating also helps heaps.  What I love about this scrub is it scrubs and cleanses simultaneously!  It has sugar to exfoliate, but it lathers up and leaves your hands feeling ridiculously soft and silky.  Instant treat!   Available at <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2222373&amp;cp=2484528.3214848&amp;parentPage=family" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" >Bath &amp; Body Works</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.temptalia.com/le-metier-de-beaute-steals-my-lip-gloss-lovin-heart">Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme Lip Gloss</a></strong> ($36.00) is still the ultra luxe gloss of my dreams.  Rich in color, high in sheen/glossiness, and available in too many colors for my wallet&#8217;s comfort.  I only own two (hey, they are quite pricey, and they are very limited in availability!), but they are stunning.  Truly gorgeous and, for me, worth $36 a pop.
