Welcome to Ranked & Loved, a series where we give you a peek at the Rank & Style-approved finds we’ve recently bought and loved, plus why you should buy them too.

One of the biggest perks of working for Rank & Style is having the opportunity to research (and even try some) amazing products. Honestly, at this point, we feel like we've experienced just about everything. Over the past year, we've collectively made countless purchases, discovered numerous new brands, and tried dozens of beauty best-sellers. However, we would be misleading you if we claimed that every single one of these products changed our lives.

It probably won't come as a surprise that not every product performs exceptionally well. Nonetheless, we are dedicated to bringing you the best of the best. As we start 2025, it only seems fitting to share a list of the products that made a difference in our lives in 2024. These include lip-softening balms and glosses, innovative skincare tools that help you make the most of your products, and even some closet staples that will help to streamline your get-ready routine, among others.

Continue scrolling to discover our top fashion and beauty picks of 2024, read about why we love them, and then shop your favorites so you can enjoy them alongside us.
