It's no secret that as editors, we're sent lots (and lots) of beauty products. Our collective routines are in constant flux, and even if we like a certain product we try, it rarely—if ever—stays put as a permanent fixture within our regimens. As such, product empties are somewhat of a unicorn occurrence for us. However, every so often, we do scratch the bottom of a certain jar or tube—whether it's due to irrevocable obsession or because we simply didn't find another product that was all that much better. (Some product categories seem to perpetually fall into the bucket of "meh.") Obviously, we're much more focused on the former option.

At the top of January 2023, we decided to conduct a little team-wide experiment with the prerogative to save every last one of the products we used to the last drop. From there, we'd decide which of those we'd actually buy again because they were just that impressive. Sharing is caring, so just below, you can read up on the products our editors couldn't get enough of and immediately added to their carts once they crossed the emblematic finish line.

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
