Your Favorite Things: 2023 Edition.

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through the links below, I may receive compensation.

A round up of the bestsellers for the entire 2023 year, excluding Amazon, which I’ll share separately. I found this list deeply compelling — I need to finally give that CE Ferulic acid a try! I love Vitamin C products but had heard it smells strange (plus, $$$). Still, so interesting that so many of you love it! I own 75% of the rest of the items on the list and adore them, too. The bra is a no-brainer — you need it in your rotation — BUT bear in mind that many Magpies have written to say that the one from Target’s diffusion line with the same brand is basically identical and less than 1/2 the price. If you’re on the less-endowed side of the spectrum, I know you will love these bralettes as much as I do. Obsessed. Butter soft and delightful.
