These Are Our 22 Favorite Amazon Products of the Year

Softer hands without greasy fingerprints and keyboard stains. Prequel’s clinically tested formula locks in moisture for 24 hours, with a water-resistant barrier that keeps skin supple through frequent washing. It’s fragrance-free, too, ideal for anyone who’s over-sanitizing on the daily (nurses, teachers, parents), and who are sensitive to scents. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An effective brush cleaner is an absolutely essential tool if you’re applying makeup daily or weekly. This one works simply: Just spritz a couple sprays over the brush head after each use and wipe clean. Your brushes will work better and last longer. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Various fine jewelry brands, like Tiffany & Co. and Bottega, are offering statement-making teardrop earrings right now. This similar version from Pavoi comes in a few sizes with colored options, all under $15. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Whether you’ve recently moved, bought a new rug, or simply have a rug that won’t stay put, these corner-shaped grippers are a must. Peel the adhesive backs and apply to each corner of your rug. Then, peel back the adhesive on the other side and press down onto your floor. The corners won’t curl up or move around. They’re also renter-friendly and won’t leave behind any residue when you remove them. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

One of our editors introduced us to the new necessity that is nail concealer: a neutral, sheer base that requires no top coat. It’ll brighten and heal your nails while neutralizing discoloration, thanks to its botanical oils. Perfect for when you’re taking a break between dip, gel, or acrylic manicures. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Our editor’s dental hygienist recommended using Crest 3D White Strips for one week straight out of every month, starting a year out from her wedding. She said the small, consistent use will be more gentle on her sensitive teeth. Doing this over the course of the year will give the hydrogen peroxide at this level enough time to kick in. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This Korean snail mucin serum has been a bestseller for you for a while, so why not spread the word? It helps revitalize dry skin and amp up natural glow. It’s also super lightweight and fast-absorbing so you won’t have to worry about any sticky residue. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Medicube is a Korean skincare brand that has been all the rage this year. This Age-R Glutathione Glow Toner is packed with peptides and glutathione, an active that’ll brighten uneven skin tone, provide hydration, and give a glass skin effect. Apply it after cleansing and before moisturizer. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This mini version of the iconic Naked palette has every neutral you need to create every eye look you want, from natural to dramatic. The taupe and brown shadows complement all skin tones and eye colors, and the smaller-sized palette is great for traveling. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I bought this electric callus remover from Dr. Scholl’s at the beginning of summer and it’s just as good (if not better) than going to get a $50 pedicure. It’s battery-operated, but it comes with all the batteries you need. Use light pressure along any dry, cracked spots, and you’ll have smooth feet in minutes. It’s also FSA/HSA-eligible. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Picture it: a screw falls from your hand and suddenly you’re on the floor, flashlight in mouth, swearing under your breath. This magnetic wristband saves you the trouble. It keeps screws, bolts, washers, and other tiny essentials right where you need them. Think of it as the extra set of hands you usually refuse to hire. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Diamonds are forever (and therefore should forever sparkle). This pocket-size pen dispenses a cleaning gel with micro-fine polishing agents to lift dirt and oil from diamonds, precious stones, and gold settings. The brush tip sneaks into the tiniest prongs and crevices, resulting in an evident before and after. Something every jewelry lover should keep on hand, but it’s particularly ideal for the recently engaged person in your life (maybe yourself). PS: Check out our full review here.

Your foundation, blush, and concealer are really only as good as your brush, which is why it’s important to invest in a well-constructed option. Specifically designed to provide even, dense coverage, this easy-to-grip bubble blending brush is a dream. The ultra-plush, anti-shed synthetic bristles handle creams, powders, and liquid with ease, whether you dab, swipe, or blend them across the skin’s surface. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Your dishwasher needs cleaning, too. These tablets get rid of limescale and mineral buildup, and leave your machine sparkling and ready to perform like a champ. They also eliminate that dreaded dishwasher odor. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Unlike wax sticks, this flyaway tamer actually leaves hair soft and conditioned — not tacky — and is easy to brush through when you take out your slicked-back bun. As an added bonus, the citrus, orange blossom, and vanilla scent is subtle. We also love the easy-to-use wand applicator and portable tube packaging. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Gel loyalists, this is a must-have. Our Senior Editor has been using this for the last few months as a way to take a break from gel. It revitalized her nail beds, strengthening them, while also cutting flaking and peeling. If your nail beds are in rough condition, apply three times a day. Otherwise you can apply as needed. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

If your safe space is gold hoops, might we suggest this hammered style? Between their asymmetric shape and matte finish, they’ll add flair to your outfit in a way that isn’t intimidating to style. Bonus points for being under $10 and hypoallergenic. Shop the rest of the brand for more inexpensive jewelry here. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Compared to its competitors, we’ve found that Laneige’s Lip Glowy Balm in Berry is the tinted option that feels the most like a lip balm. It has a subtle rosy hue and can be worn over lip liner or before bed like a treatment mask. If you love the brand’s cult-favorite Lip Sleeping Mask, this is an on-the-go-friendly version since it has an applicator. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This Tomato Vine scent from Mrs. Meyer’s is one of our editor’s best finds of the year. It reminds us of Flamingo Estate, but at a fraction of the price. It was allegedly a limited-edition scent for summer (that still happens to be available), so we’re still buying it in bulk while we can. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A star of the last few months for Skimm’rs? Dr. Scholl’s Fast-Acting Callus Remover Gel Kit. It comes with a dermatologist-tested gel that’ll break down hard skin, along with a foot file that’ll buff said skin away. PS: It’s FSA/HSA-eligible. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

It’s hard to find an aluminum-free deodorant that not only smells good, but actually works. This is the one. It glides on easily and will keep you dry. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

We love to keep this spray in our medicine cabinets just in case. As cold and flu season ramps up, this throat spray is made with bee propolis to support immunity and soothe and coat, with a honey-like flavor. Stash it in your bag for when a scratchy throat strikes. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
