We’re often throwing away the phrases ‘best seller’, ‘cult favourite’ or (our personal fave) ‘the must-have product on everyone’s shelves’… but what does it actually mean to reach such popularity?

When a beauty product delivers results, word travels fast. And by fast, we mean every 20 seconds kind of fast.
Check out which of your much loved products are flying off the shelves, or better yet, the accompanying (and fascinating stats) that you can whip out at your next dinner party.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
There are very few people who wouldn’t recognise this pink and green lash legend.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is so popular that they sell one every two seconds.
Yes, you read that correctly. That’s more than 40,000 per day.
Weleda Skin Food
There isn’t much that Weleda’s Skin Food can’t do.
It’s our go-to when hands are dry from over washing (something we are all familiar with at the moment), elbows are cracked and lips are chapped. You can use it as a face mask, eye cream, body moisturiser or to treat scars, eczema, and even your feet and cuticles.
So, when we tell you that one of these sells every 16 seconds, are you really surprised?
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Paula’s Choic 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, otherwise known as their no. 1 product worldwide.
This leave-on exfoliant is a cult favourite, selling approx one every twenty seconds.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O
There isn’t a beauty buff in sight who doesn’t have one of these bad boys in their bathroom cabinet.
Widely regarded as the best micellar water in the game, Bioderma Sensibio H2O sells every three seconds around the globe.
Go-To Transformazing Sheet Mask
Zoë Foster-Blake originally intended for Transformazing to be a cream mask, until an early 3am thought saw her change her vision.
And boy did that turn out to be a good decision.
Appearing as a guest on ‘The Glow Journal’, a beauty podcast hosted by Gemma Watts, Zoe revealed to listeners that Go-To sell one Transformazing every10 SECONDS!!
$9, Mecca
Trilogy Rosehip Oil
Trilogy Rosehip Oil has 10 different uses and one is sold every 20 seconds, so it must be delivering some sort of magic! Word on the street is the Duchess of Cambridge is a massive fan too…
Go-To Face Hero Oil
Another one from Go-To because this Australian brand sure does have some great stats.
Face Hero is another best-seller from Zoë Foster-Blake’s brain child, selling one bottle of the glorious oil every minute!
$45, Mecca
The Weleda Skin Food is my pick of these, closely followed by Trilogy's Rosehip
That's Zoe Foster-Blake
I love so many of these products! Weleda skin food, bioderma, go to sheet mask and the trilogy rosehip oil
I've seen one of those on the list haha. i'll be on the look out.
Some surprises there…
Are Welda products any good? They sell that at my work and they seem pretty affordable compared to other brands with similar products- nice scents too
The Maybelline mascara is a classic
I do not understand why Maybelline Great Lash is on almost every beauty editor's favourites list. It is one of the worst mascaras that I have tried. Maybelline make other mascaras that perform much better.
The Weleda is good, I need a new mascara soon but have been reluctant with Maybelline brand.
I am happy to report that the Goto Face Masks are superb just like most of the other go to products
I need to try that mascara, just to see if this popularity has any merit. But doubt it will be any time soon. Have to go trough a few.
I need to try that face mask from ZFB
Weleda skin food is my favourite. It really works on my dry skin.
So interesting! I need to try some of these facial oils.
I must try this then!
I like this product too!
I like Trilogy products and being natural is a bonus
The Paula's choice liquid exfoliant looks nice, sort of like Alpha h's liquid gold
Trilogy is always a winner.
I've heard good things about the Go To Face Hero 🙂
That Weleda cream is so rich and buttery
I love Trilogy rosehip oil
I also love YSL Touche Eclat pen
It would be good to know the prices of all of these, not just the odd one
I hate the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara – it is the worst mascara I have ever tried. I would have given it zero stars if I could. It hadn't dried properly hours after I had put it on (think wet black sludge around my eyes) and it was impossible to build any volume with. Yuck.
I love the rosehip oil
Sounds like one to steer clear of.
Wow, that's bad. Thanks for letting us know.
I use Maybelline mascara and I find it good .My lashes look much better when I use it.

I use the Weleda Skin Food, Maybelline mascara and the Bioderma Sensibio H2O.
Weleda Skin Food is absolutely amazing .
I love the Weleda Skin Food! So deeply nourishing for my dry skin <3
The Go To Face Hero is a fairly recent addition to my collection and I’m loving it! My skin is feeling very hydrated, and it’s looking good too.
I love skin food! It is so nourishing.
Encore article.
Weleda Skin Food and Trilogy Rosehip oil are my picks of these
The Weleda is really so thick, great for feet in winter
These best sellers are an interesting mix for me – some I love (the Trilogy oil), some I hate (fell out of love with Great Lash years ago!) and some I am just indifferent to – like the Micellar water and 'Transformazing mask' (I have two and still haven't gotten around to using it!
I do love Weleda products however and think all these products do deserve a try once – just to find out what the hype is all about!
I love the Weldeda cream
I don't use any of these products but I was trying to count how many tubes of Maybelline Great Lash Mascara must have sold while I was typing this comment!
I don't really find many mascaras better than another one. My lashes are fine and just adding definition pleases me.
