The Top 10 Best Products We Bought in 2024
This year brought some incredible finds that blended quality, affordability, and just the right touch of luxury. From everyday essentials to game-changing wellness products, we’ve tested, worn, and used every item on this list—and we’re excited to share our favorites with you. If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, refresh your beauty routine, or add a little convenience to your daily life, these are the best purchases we made in 2024.
1. Quince Cashmere
We are big fans of Quince and have tested just about every product type they offer: women’s clothing, men’s clothing, bags, shoes, jewelry, hats, scarves, gloves, jackets, activewear, loungewear, swimwear, sunglasses, pillows… We consider ourselves experts at this point. We will say that Quince can have some misses (for example, we find that their men’s clothes is more variable in quality than their women’s clothes) but overall their products strike the ideal balance of affordable luxury.
And that brings us to our favorite purchase of the year. Soft, warm, and stylish, Quince’s cashmere products have become a staple in our wardrobe. The quality is comparable to high-end brands, but at a fraction of the cost. Quince will even directly compare their cost to competitors and the price transparency is definitely eye-opening.
Of course, we do a few favorite products in particular. For men, we highly recommend the Luxe Baby Cashmere Crewneck Sweater, Luxe Baby Cashmere Cable Quarter Zip Sweater, and Mongolian Cashmere Puffer Vest. For women, we highly recommend the Mongolian Cashmere Twist Headband, Mongolian Cashmere Fisherman Crewneck Sweater, and Cashmere Lined Leather Gloves.
Trust us—once you wear one, you’ll want them in every color.
2. Bowers & Wilkins Earbuds
We know everyone defaults to their Apple AirPods, but the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 earbuds are more than just headphones—they’re a true auditory experience. The sound quality is rich, clear, and immersive, and the noise cancellation makes commutes and flights infinitely more enjoyable. Plus, they look sleek as hell and come in absolutely beautiful colors. We particularly love them in midnight blue. Bowers & Wilkins nailed both form and function with the Pi8s, and they’ve become a permanent fixture in our tech rotation. (Affiliate Links)
3. Premier Men’s Sneakers
Stylish and comfortable, the Premier sneakers from Thursday Boots have become our go-to for everyday wear. They balance casual with sleek, making them versatile enough for more relaxed or more elevated looks. Plus, the craftsmanship holds up after months of wear—no surprise scuffs or loose stitching here. Compared to many of the other competitors, they also come at a great price point.
4. Naked Protein and Greens
Naked Nutrition’s protein powder and greens are the simplest way we’ve boosted our health this year. No unnecessary fillers, just clean ingredients that get the job done. Naked Greens can blend easily into smoothies but we just mix it with cold water and drink first thing in the morning. The protein powder is similarly easy to blend. Whether you prefer Whey, Pea, or some other form, they make the perfect base for post-workout shakes. Naked Nutrition also makes high quality creatine, peanut butter powder, and so much more. We will say that the only products we haven’t loved from Naked Nutrition are their baking mixes, but they excel at their core offerings. (Affiliate Links)
5. Amazon Package Opener
It’s the simplest gadget, but we can’t live without it now. This little Amazon package slicer makes opening boxes so much easier (and safer) than using scissors or keys. If you’re constantly receiving packages like we are, this is a must-have. We’re not sure why, but somehow this brings a little extra joy to an everyday task for less than $10. (Affiliate Links)
6. Quince Leather Bags
We had to call out one more Quince hit. Their leather bags offer minimalist style with maximum impact. The quality of the leather feels luxe and they have a great mix of timeless, modern, and trendy designs. Whether you’re carrying a crossbody or a tote, it feels like a bag that should have cost three times as much.
In particular, our two favorite leather bags we’ve gotten would have to be the Italian Leather Double Strap Shoulder Bag and Italian Leather Laptop Backpack.
7. Bombas Socks
There’s no such thing as too many pairs of Bombas socks. They’re insanely comfortable, durable, and the fit is unmatched. Plus, knowing that each purchase helps someone in need adds to the feel-good factor. These are the socks we grab first every time.
Bonus: We also love their undergarments and tees!
8. Dazzle Dry Nail Polish System
Dazzle Dry has revolutionized our at-home manicures. It dries insanely fast (truly 5 minutes), doesn’t chip for days (usually 2 weeks for us), and comes in so many gorgeous shades (our favorite is Campus Crush). It feels like salon-level polish but without the drying time or smudging risk. The Dazzle Dry system does have more steps than your standard kit, but it’s still less involved than having to go to the salon or try gel nails at home. Dazzle Dry can be pricey, but our hack is to buy a mini kit to start and additional mini lacquers to test out different colors. Once you’ve found your favorites, then you can invest in the full size kit. (Affiliate Links)
9. Tap Secret Dry Shampoo
Tap Secret has the dry shampoo we didn’t know we needed. Just apply the powder with the built in poof straight to your scalp, then brush it in. And boom - no one will ever be able to tell again when it’s a no-hair-wash day. We’ve tried a ton of dry shampoos throughout the year in the quest to find an option that works for dark, fine, oily hair and this is hands down the winner. (Affiliate Links)
10. Rodan + Fields Lash Boost Serum
This lash serum is magic in a tube. After consistent use, our lashes are visibly longer and healthier. We legitimately hear compliments all the time like “Your eyelashes are so long!” and “Are those your natural eyelashes?” It’s one of those rare beauty products that actually delivers on its promises—and it’s made us swear off extensions for good. It does take a few months (3 - 6 in our experience) to see results but, trust us - it’s worth it.
Near Misses: 5 Products that didn’t make the cut
There were a few products we thought would crack the top 10 but ultimately fell short. There is a ton of products tested behind the scenes that don’t make it to our sight, and we thought we’d share a small window into some of these:
Nutrafol Supplements – We typically have no problem sticking with routines, but this one was a bit much for us. After about 6 months, we didn’t see enough results to warrant taking 4 unpleasant pills every day. We know that these work great for many people, so they may be worth a try for you!
Nordstrom Dresses (with tailoring) – We bought a selection of special occasion dresses from Nordstrom and online stores like Lulus. We’d classify the dresses as mid-tier, decent quality but not quite top of the line. Part of why we purchased from Nordstrom in particular was to take advantage of their tailoring service. Long story short, we ended up waiting nearly an hour after our scheduled appointment time and the price to tailor was more than the dresses themselves.
Viral Products from Glossier – Glossier has so many die hard fans that we finally decided to give it a go. We tested popular products like their Cloud Paint, Boy Brow and Lash Slick. They were just fine, but there was nothing that stood out to us.
AG1 – We dedicated a whole article to this health supplement from Athletic Greens. Read our full thoughts here.
Many, many products from Amazon – For every product we recommend from Amazon, there are more that we don’t. We have been catfished by a ton of Amazon products this year. Luckily, we’ve found tons of gems as well! But, quality can absolutely vary on such a large platform, which is why we’re here to help.
Final Thoughts
There are many more products we love—some of our absolute favorites didn’t make this list simply because we bought them before 2024! And there were many more that we almost included (like custom haircare from Prose or convertible heels from Pashion) but we had to try the line somewhere. We definitely have lots more reviews in the pipeline so stay tuned! We personally vet every product we recommend to guarantee that they are midlionnaire approved, so you may also find other items throughout our site that you’ll enjoy.
Stay tuned for our top 10 experiences of 2024!
