40 Beauty Products Our Editors Discovered in 2021 and Now Can't Live Without

"I was a loyalist to luxury mascaras for years, but the Maybelline Sky High Lash Sensational Mascara ($9, originally $11) reminded me how good affordable options can be. Made with bamboo extract, just two coats of this lightweight formula fully extend my lashes above my brows without any flaking or smudging throughout the day. I totally understand why it sold out at Ulta (twice!) after going viral on TikTok earlier this year — it's completely worth the hype and it restored my faith in drugstore mascara." — Mary Honkus, associate editor, Makeup.com
