The Best Beauty Products of 2024

According to me, anyway.

Oh, hi!

I’ve been threatening you all with a list of the best beauty products for a few weeks now, and I’m finally following through. It’s not a very long list—11 products total—because even though there were a lot of things I liked this year, there were not a lot of things I loved.

The best part is that everything’s discounted right now either in Sephora’s Beauty Insider Sale or with various codes. Wee! Now, without further ado, I present the 11 products I loved most in 2024.

Hair

Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream with Taming Wand, $18, $14.40 at Sephora through 12/15 (JK: It’s sold out on Sephora but still available on Dae’s site)
I think we’ll see a lot of copycats of this one: It’s a styling cream—not a gel!—in a mascara-like tube complete with with a spoolie so you can slick down hairs and tame flyaways. Every time I use it (daily) I’m always like…how did I live without this for over 30 years?? Plus it smells good.

Roz Foundation Hair Mask, $48, $38.40 with code LINDY20
I love all Roz products, and their hair mask is really nice! It’s super creamy and easy to wash out, and comes with a little squeeze key so you can use up every last drop from the aluminum tube.

Skin

Minu Brightening Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, $58, $46.60 with code LINDY20
My friend Sonia introduced me to this sunscreen when we went into Credo (and she’s French, so if she’s buying sunscreen in AMERICA, you know it’s good). It’s possibly the easiest to blend mineral sunscreen I’ve ever tried, and it leaves a nice, hydrated—not greasy—glow.

Innbeauty Project Extreme Cream, $48, $38.40 at Sephora through 12/15
Everyone is obsessed with this moisturizer, and we are all correct. It’s great for dryness, but also gives skin that plump, dewy look and just makes skin look better all-around. For the money, you can’t beat it IMO.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum, $46, $36.80 at Sephora through 12/15
I love how weightless this eye serum feels, and I really felt like I noticed a difference when using it. Super hydrating and it lasted me quite a while, even though the tube is on the small size.

Tula 24-7 Weightless Moisture gel cream, $58 $43.50
This was my favorite daytime moisturizer from this year. It has the most refreshing texture, but didn’t leave that tacky feeling under makeup like a lot of gel formulas. They packed in beneficial ingredients too, like peptides, niacinamide, and collagen.
