Each month, Fashionista editors try a *lot* of beauty products. And while not every formula we test is a winner, we're constantly unearthing new favorites. Here, we've rounded up our

As we look toward the new year (and hope like hell it leads to some kind of return to precedented times), we're also reflecting on 2021, and the many beauty and wellness products we fell in love with over the past 12 months.
Ahead, we've compiled all 248 (!) of our very favorite hair, makeup, skin-care, fragrance and wellness discoveries from the year. Click through to learn exactly why we became so obsessed with them — and, of course, shop them for yourself if you'd like.
