We at Snob Essentials try to avoid playing favorites with our beauty products. There are so many new tech-savvy tools, colorful polishes, and revolutionary skincare serums coming out all the time that we want to try everything, and lucky for me, that’s my job! At the end of the day, though, there are just some must-haves that can’t be beat. Mine is Natura Bissé Diamond Life Infusion Retinol Eye Serum (at Barneys New York for $275). I’ve been using the milky moisturizer for four months and still believe it’s the best out there for eyes. When I ran out of the tester, I panicked and immediately ordered more. The price is undeniably steep, but when you consider that eyes are the first part of the face to show signs of aging, it’s much easier to splurge on. Save on everything else and spend on this. Besides, very little is needed per application. Just a touch of Natura Bissé, and fine lines are gone! Check out which beauty products top the list for the rest of the Snob Team…

Tom Ford White Suede: Favorites come and go, but one product that has remained a staple on my top list since it launched is Tom Ford’s White Suede. I would literally freak if they ever discontinued this. At Bloomingdale’s for $215.

Korres Greek Yoghurt Cleansing & Makeup-Removing Wipes for All Skin Types: Given how much money I spend at Sephora, it’s shocking how lazy I can be about beauty. As everyone says, though, the one step you can’t skip is cleaning your face. On nights when even brushing my teeth feels like a chore, I pull out a Korres cleansing wipe. Not only do they remove makeup and dirt, they even do a little moisturizing! At Sephora for $15.

L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray: My go-to product is L’Oreal Paris’ Elnett Satin Hairspray. I can barely commit to a bar of soap but after trying this a year or so ago, I don’t even know how I lived without it. The light spray makes your hair look shiny without leaving it sticky or crunchy like most hairsprays do. I’m also able to restyle/brush throughout the day and still have a nice hold on my hair. It’s amazing! On Amazon for $11.99.
