Our favorite products for 2023
Poured Gentle Relief Balm
B+C Creative Assistant Meredith loves this super hydrating formula for her dry winter skin. This product keeps things simple, no fragrances, just a thick, creamy balm that’s also bomb for nailing the skin blowout trend.
Odèle Volumizing Shampoo + Conditioner
Meredith has had a lot of showers with this shampoo and conditioner combo this year. She likes the Odele brand because it looks like a luxury product at an affordable price – the bottles are available at Target!
A boy smells a banana pudding candle
This candle disappeared in an instant in Meredith’s apartment. “It literally smells the way it’s marketed,” she says. “I love its unique scent, it’s indulgent, tasty and smoky all at the same time.”
Khus + Khus Balm KAMA
“I’ve never tried a body balm like this before,” says Meredith. “It melts in your hands like coconut oil and smells divine. » This balm leaves skin with a bright enough glow, ideal for going out or staying in for a night of self-care.
Razor head + Flamingo blades
This razor suite gave Meredith the easiest, smoothest shave she’s ever had with a disposable razor blade. Like Odele products, this razor is luxurious, but at an affordable price.
Saucony Triomphe 21
Meredith has only had these shoes for about a month, but she can’t keep quiet. In his words, they “literally feel like they’re walking on clouds.” She likes how snug the shoe fits, with the laces being intrusive or restrictive. The light yellow color is also unique and fun.
Your scent brighter
You are brighter is the most unique body scent Meredith has tried, and that’s why she wears it every day. The packaging is sleek and fun, and the payoff you get from just one application is impressive.
40 oz Hydro Flask Bottle
Meredith has had the same Hydro Flask since her freshman year of college (2018), and it’s never broken once. She loves it because it keeps cold water really cold all day, making it the perfect companion for work days and workouts.
Dreo tower fan
This pedestal fan literally saved Mer’s air-conditioned apartment last summer. “It runs very quietly and the remote control feature is very useful when I’m feeling lazy,” she says.
Sour Moonjuice Potion
This beauty pick was a great introduction to liquid exfoliant for Meredith this year. It’s easy to apply with your hands, provides a fun tingling sensation so you can really feel it working, and plus there’s a lot of product inside the glass bottle that will last for centuries.
TheraFace Pro
Haley, Content Editor at B+C, says, “This is the best at-home skincare device I’ve tried! I saw pretty good results after a month of regular use. She loves that it has multiple heads, making it versatile for everyday skincare needs.
Blundstone Boots #2365
Haley loved these Blundstone boots this year. “They fit like a dream, they can be dressed up or down, and I don’t remember feeling like I had to break them in at all!”
Outdoor Voices SuperForm™ Ribbed Flared Pants
Haley is obsessed with her Outdoor Voices flared leggings at the moment. “They’re so flattering and comfortable and cute,” she says. “This looks like a massive upgrade from black leggings, without having to try too hard.”
Caudalíe Vinoperfect lightening cream for dark circles eyes
Haley too delirium about this eye cream from Caudalíe this year, praising it for being the first product to be truly effective against her dark circles.
“Although this skincare combination is more expensive than I’d like, I plan to stick with it for the long haul,” she says. “Honestly, this serum and cream seems like a miracle blend to me, and I can’t wait to see how well it works over time!
Gap Stride high-rise wide-leg jeans
Haley has literally never received more compliments on her outfits than when she wears these jeans. They are versatile, flattering, And comfortable! “A miracle, to be honest,” she said.
Gap Casual Pull-On Straight Leg Pants
“These soft, fitted pants are so beautiful I had to buy them in black and gray,” says Ali. “I’m in my elastic waistband era (AKA comfy pants only), but these look much sleeker than casual pants.”
Allbirds Tree Runners
Ali is on his third pair of Allbirds Tree Runners – for good reason! “This white pair goes with everything, it’s the most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever worn, and it’s machine washable,” she says. “I walk over 5 miles a day in these clothes (usually with my dog) and wear them down to the ground. I also have pairs for my mother and my husband, who love them! »
Roen 29 Palm Candle
Ali says Roen candles have a strong scent (even when unlit) and make her house smell amazing. “It’s probably one of the products I own the most and get the most compliments on,” she says.
Apple Airpods
“It was a birthday present that took my audiobook habit to the next level,” Ali says. “No more tangled wires! »
Our place always Pan 2.0
This pan represented a major step forward for Meredith over the previously worn out one. The non-stick coating is *actually* non-stick (contrary to what other brands promise), but the only thing she doesn’t like is that she can’t put it in the dishwasher.
Kate Spade New York Tea Kettle
This tea kettle brightens up Ali’s kitchen in the cutest way! Everyone needs a little dose of color every now and then.
Jacquotha hand towel
These cute plaid napkins allow Ali to try out a short-lived trend in a modest, no-commitment way. The range of colors is so cute!
IKEA FADO Table lamp
Ali recently added this IKEA lamp to her desk which has been major to provide pleasant light during the newest and shortest winter days.
Bose 700 Noise Canceling Headphones
Meredith loves these headphones because they are great at noise cancellation. They are extremely useful for concentrating at work and for drowning out crying children on the plane.
Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Lotion for Dry Skin
For Meredith, it’s “literally the best lotion I’ve tried for my dry skin since moving to Colorado,” and boy, is it drying down there! “I’m in love with how thick and creamy it is, and I can actually feel the hydration last for a few hours.”
