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
Have used the mascara, skin food and rosehip oil.
The sheet mask looks very good
I use the Maybelline Mascara, Bioderma Sensibio H20 and Weleda Skin Food,
Wow!! Interesting list, surprised two Go To items are on it.
Trilogy Rosehip Oil is one of the best.
Not overly surprised. We love our beauty products thats for sure.
Found the 10 uses – on the review page. Nice – I never thought of using it as a lip balm.
I love the rosehip oil – use it everyday (but only on my skin – interested in hearing more about the 10 uses!).
I love Go to’s face masks. I have also tried trilogy’s rose hip oil on my cellulite, it’s a staple.
Bioderma…..yes there are cheaper micellar waters available, but nothing compares to Bioderma. It removes every trace of make up, leaving behind no residue. It just cannot be beaten for quality. I’ve tried just about every alternative on the market but I’ll always come back to Bioderma.
I’ve used a few of these. Weleda is new to me and I’m totally head over heels in love. I look forward to Priceline stocking it so I can check out the whole range.
The Maybelline mascara is definitely overrated. I get that it has history but mascaras have evolved so much since then
So many great products like all of them Thanks BH for a informative list.
Nice products here but surprised Go-To made it twice to the list (I’ve tried neither)
40,000 a day is incredible!!
I use reship oil, I have used trilogy, but I have also used other brands as well
It's really good that most of these products are affordable and good value for money
Had skin food and trilogy oil but passed them on to family. My skin does need oil or rich creams. Go to not for me either, tried samples given to me. No. Micellars use rarely and bioderma still have in stash. It works well, but as any micellar I've used so far, they all do.
I've actually never liked that Maybelline mascara
I quite like skin food
I love Go-to Face Hero oil, it's one of the best oils!! Go to products are generally pretty good, I haven't tried the face masks as yet but I have tried their face oil and face wash, and I am happy to say I am glad they made it on the list!!
Would love to try the exfoliate. The go to stuff is also really good, though the oil is a little heavy on my skin
Bioderma's toner is a fave of mine.
Bioderma!
Always have a bottle of Triology's rosehip oil in my beauty cabinet!
Have some Weleda Skin Food on the way to try out!
Yay for Trilogy rosehip oil!
I have the go to face hero after a friend recommended it but I must be the only person that doesn't love it. It has great reviews but it doesn't work well on my skin. My skin is dry and this hasn't helped at all. I didn't notice any difference in my skin which is a shame.
Zoe's Go To range has done so well.
Trilogy Rosehip oil is amazing and I always have some on hand also love the Bioderma's toner. I'm not a fan of the Maybelline mascara it just didn't give me the lashes I wanted.
Maybelline Great Lash was my first mascara because that's what Mum used. There used to be a matching pink & green tube of liquid eyeliner, too. I wish they'd bring that back.
Don't use any of these, although I have used products from a couple of the brands mentioned (Weleda – their Skin Food Light is wonderful – and Trilogy – long-time fan of the brand, just haven't used their rosehip oil as that stuff & my skin don't always get along & I prefer other oils).
I finished a bottle of the Trilogy oil today, have the Skin Food in use and have previously used the Bioderma micellar water.
I haven't tried any of these products. Would love to get my hands on some!
Cannot believe the stats on some of these products, unreal. I am using the Weleda Skin Food cream at the moment, the cooler weather has set in and skin can get a little dry.
I’m not surprised at how many Go To products are sold in this list, they’re so good!
Me neither. I don’t understand its appeal at all!
I have not tried any Go-To but hear great things about the face oil, although upon inspection of the ingredients I just find it's like any other combo face oil on the market.
Weleda Skin Food range is great
I have yet to try all of these products
The Weleda and the Bioderma are my favourites.
Prefer Skin Food light to the og and I don't get the hype of great lash at all. So basic.
I'm surprised by the number of sales for each of these products. Amazing.
Great products. I absolutely love Triology rosehip oil. It’s my go to every day!
I've tried the mascara and the Weleda skin food and really disliked both. That is literally the worst mascara I have tried.
I love the sound of the Go to Face hero face oil.
I love Weleda skin foods products.
really want to try the face hero
Is that you Ruby on the cover picture? It looks like you. Have you changed your hair colour?
I havent used any of these but I do have a sample size of the Trilogy oil so I'll give that a go soon.
