This is actually one of our favorite articles to put together. The one where we get to give you both a peak behind the curtain and a mirror into what you yourself like most here on our humble, little site.
Actually forget humble, because in reviewing every single one of the 14 items on this list that you, our dearest readers, bought most, we kept finding ourselves thinking man, we have good taste. But in fairness, so do you.
So, without further ado, here are the top 14 things sold on our site in 2026, including a surprising and pretty fun number one.
14. Ruti On The Loose Work Pants
No surprise here. These perfect work/travel/weekend pants are viral for a reason. And while we’re often the last ones to hop on a trend, by god if these aren’t the most magical, flattering, unwrinkleable (not at all a word) pants in existence. They’re not cheap, but we wear them more than any pants in our closet. They’re like loungewear … but chic! Oh, and they make our belly pooch disappear.

13. EBY Sheer Bralette
A sexy, delicate bralette felt like something we were never really cut out for as heavy-bosomed ladies. And frankly, even those of us with smaller chests started to ignore the romantic racks of oh-so-pretty, but zero-support bras once gravity did its thing. But everything changed this year when we discovered this MESH bralette from EBY. The shape, support, and sexiness are all exactly right. So much so we made a reel about it, and it blew up. My fellow big-boobed and over-40 ladies, this is the one we’ve waited for.

12. Beauty Pie Über Youth Neck & Chest Super Lift Serum-Spray
Our necks were making us sad. And we were willing to try everything we could get our hands on which, as beauty editors, is quite a lot. This is the thing that worked. Words are nice. Photos are better. So take a look at this before and after:
All from a spray, guys. A spray!

11. Tabu The Prim Pillow
We’ve written a lot about how sex, like everything else, can change after 40. Low libido, discomfort, pelvic floor issues, prolapse, pain! This pillow is designed to optimize position and make everything go more smoothly. Honestly, how did it not exist til now?
Price: $195
10. Nécessaire The Sex Gel
Dryness! We forgot to mention dryness before. This takes care of that. It’s water-based. V. important. Also no silicones, parabens, phthalates, PEGs, or fragrance added. Also v. important. It’s not greasy, icky, or sticky. Just another glorious tool in the toolbox. It sells out constantly though, so be swift.

9. Huda Beauty Easy Bake Blurring Loose Baking & Setting Powder
We struggle to find powders that don’t make us look like old crones - to put it plainly. This one has the kind of nothingness to its texture that doesn’t undo all our glorious, dewy, youthful skincare. It just sops up all our oil and leaves us with our smoothest, most even skin. Before and after, of course:
Price: $40
8. Merit Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil
Our go-to color has been out of stock for a while, but we’re not too mad about it because every color has that perfect, plumping, your-lips-but-better effect. The texture is never sticky and makes our lips look younger. The sale that’s running right now means we’re stocking up in true hoarder fashion.
Price: $19 (20% off)

7. Chris McMillan The Glassy Smooth Blowdry Spray
We wrote an entire, unsponsored article about this product, which is made by the man who’s been doing Jen An’s hair since the Rachel days. It’s all we need when we blowdry to get our glassiest hair. It’s weightless, glossy heat-protectant that banishes frizz, like so:
Price: $36

6. Kitsch Metal Cloud Cuff
Anyone who watched The Madison this year knows the quiet power of this hair accessory Just adding a minimalist thing like this to a messy bun takes us from slob to sophisticate. It’s the little things, no?
Price: $10
5. Quince Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
Quince makes incredible, stretchy, flattering jeans, all for $50. We’ve actually seen you guys buy the barrel*, the wide-leg*, and the kick-flare, but nothing sold as much as this classic, idyllic straight-leg jean*, which yes, look excellent on the butt.
Price: $50

4. Merit Signature Lip Liner In bespoke
We send every woman we love this liner in the shade bespoke*. It has turned the biggest makeup-phobics we know into lip-liner enthusiasts. It’s sheer so it basically creates a shadow of the lip that makes them look fuller and still so natural. It’s honestly the closest thing we’ve come to filler that isn’t filler. Here’s a look at its magic. Old gloss on the left, gloss with liner on the right.

3. neiwai Barely Zero Anchored Cup Strap Bra
We won’t do stabby underwire anymore, but a lot of wireless bras fit weird and bulge out, and really every bra just feels like hell on our skin since we turned 35. This bra is like air. Nothingness! And yet, we get bouncy, pin-up girl shape. It’s a miracle.
Price: $39

2. Furtuna Skin Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil
You’ve likely heard us mention this oil. Possibly upwards of 87 times. We use it every day of our lives. It is our holy grail, anti-aging skincare product, and therefore, we just do not shut up about it. We tap it onto our skin, and the radiant effect is like instant health. Instant youth. We cannot be without it. And we’re thrilled you love it, too.
