Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
There are two types of friends in the world: those who talk you out of purchases and those who support every shopping expedition with enthusiasm. To no one's surprise, I fall in the latter group, and I'm proud of it. The world needs more people to cheer them on and make them feel more confident in their shopping habits—no matter the price tag. So I'm here with a roundup of 30 of the best fashion and beauty picks I've come across that are 100% worth your attention (and money). I swear this list has something for everyone, be it the chic matte claw clips or the not-so-practical beaded top that sparks major joy. Keep scrolling to get started.
FASHION
This rich chocolate brown screams "fashion."
Jeans with this wash and cut will take you through season after season.
These keep me up at night.
Classic.
It's perfect on its own and cute with tights.
The boots of the season.
Did I just find the perfect date-night top?
When you want a break from your jeans.
Practical? Absolutely not. But necessary for 2022.
These are the perfect jeans. Ask anyone.
Cute with jeans, dresses, and everything in between.
A bodysuit is the perfect layering piece for winter.
These bad boys will elongate any pair of legs.
Velvet flats give me life.
Am I the only one obsessed with this color right now?
BEAUTY
I don't know about you, but my lips could use some TLC.
How I plan to bring some heat to my winter skin.
This might be the prettiest metallic eye shadow I've seen.
A lightweight foundation that hydrates, smoothes, and brightens skin is just what my sad winter skin needs.
My latest obsession: this face cream that helps firm, plump, and lift skin. I've only been using it for a month, but I'm already hooked.
Highlighter for your face, lips, and body? Yes to all of the above.
I'll find any excuse to use Ouai products, and a new body cleanser—one that's made with rose-hip and jojoba oils and vitamins A and C—is well worth a purchase.
It would be stupid to ignore this whipped body butter with hyaluronic acid and so many positive reviews.
This $18 eye balm smoothes, hydrates, and plumps all thanks to its star ingredient: granactive retinoid.
If you're not using this for the 3-minute lip liner trick yet, you're really missing out.
2022 goal? Give my feet the attention they deserve.
If you want your skin to actually improve, you need to incorporate some sort of resurfacing compound. Not only is this packaging cute, but this serum actually sinks into the skin and helps smooth and improve uneven skin texture with AHA, BHA, and PHA.
Have you seen a chicer claw clip?
I don't think there's anything more satisfying than putting on a hydrocolloid patch and peeling it off hours later to reveal freshly cleaned pores.
It's a concealer! It's a serum! It's both! Not only does this provide serious hydration, but it leaves a natural, smooth finish that brightens skin in an instant.
