2023 is rapidly coming to a close. What better time than sale week to look over the past year at all the winning products that I’m still singing the praises of. We will explore six categories: skincare, makeup, fashion, hair, wellness, and home. Each category will have my top three products with an honorable mention in a few categories because I hate limiting myself. I’m excited to see how these lists change or stay the same in 2024!
To keep this post from being miles long, I’ll link the review of items that have been reviewed in the past and for those that do not have reviews (most the home section) you’ll find a small blurb about why I love them. I will also link and let you know if any item is on sale this week so you can shop confidently.

Honorable Mention: Clarins Cryo-Flash Mask - read the review here, shop the item here
In my review I said it was a good mask, but not something I think everyone NEEDS. I stand by that review, but I also have completly fallen in love. I’m addicted to the cooling sensation and I have yet to try a mask that makes my skin look so even for so long.
Chanel Les Beiges Bronzing Cream - read the reivew here, shop the product here (I always buy Chanel beauty products from the Chanel website because their packaging is TO DIE FOR and feels like the most luxurious gift opening experience.)

Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner - shop the proudct here and get 20% off with THANKFUL20
I have yet to review this item and it fairly new to me, but it’s the first shampoo and conditioner in a long time that I have really enjoyed using. I also LOVE the minty feeling the conditioner leaves.
Kate McLeod Sleep Body Stone - shop the product here and get 20% off with CHEERS
I haven’t reviewed this item before, but I have talked about it. I was skeptical of a solid body lotion, but this is incredible. So easy to use and travel with and makes my skin so soft and not oily! The Sleep stone is my favorite, but she offers other scents as well.
Drowsy Silk Sleep Mask - read the review here, shop the product here
Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes - shop the product here
A follower on IG recommended these magnesium flakes and I like them so much more than the bag of salt you can find at the store. The flakes dissolve quickly and make my bath feel extra luxurious.
Aspen Clean Bathroom Cleaner and Super Scrub Powder - shop the product here and get 15% off with WELCOME15
I have been using the entire Aspen Clean line for laundry and cleaning products for most of the year and I can’t see myself using anything else. The bathroom cleaner and scrub together get my bathroom fixtures shinier than anything I’ve ever used before.
Dorai Self-Drying Dish Pad - shop the product here on sale!
If I was throwing my Favorite Things party this year, I’d bring this as my gift even if it went over the spending limit. It’s THAT good.
Breville Milk Cafe - shop the product here
I don’t think the Milk Cafe will ever not my make my top products list. I hate cooking, but I’m slightly addicted to Breville small appliances and the Milk Cafe is my favorite of them all. My favorite way to use it is when I get coffee outside the house, I pour the drink in and a scoop of collagen peptides. It’s much easier and less messy than using my handheld frother.
There we have it! My favorite products of 2023. I’m so happy many products are currently on sale and you can try out or gift these fabulous products that I have loved so dearly. Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and happy shopping!
In case you need any more reason to buy Merit products, they are having a 20% off sale this Black Friday. Yay!
