The 10 Biggest Sellers That We Wrote About And You Guys Bought In 2024. Like, By A Landslide.
We must say, you have excellent taste.
by The Candidly Team
All year long, we write about things that have altered our lives in some way that we firmly believe other 35+ women should know about. But we admit, not all these things get your attention.
Which is why selfishly, it’s really fun for us to compile this list of the most popular things we’ve written about over the course of the entire year.
And this year, we are once again blown away by the taste of our readers. You chose the best of the best.
So, are you ready to accompany on from number 10 all the way down to the most popular item of the year? Let the countdown begin!
10. Favorite daughter The Jordan Belt
Kicking off at number 10, we have this gorgeous belt that we first noticed in all its glory, making every one of Kristen Bell’s outfits in Nobody Wants This jump off the screen. So much so we actually wrote a whole ARTICLE about her clothes. And the most popular thing was very rightly THIS belt. Honestly, it’s so beloved it often sells out in the black/gold combo but it also comes in chrome ,and the croc version with gold is available and might even be better.

Price: $98
9. True Botanicals Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum
If you hate the peeling and the harshness of retinol but really want its anti-aging rewards, it’s worth clicking into THIS dedicated article we wrote listing out the reasons we adore it this plant-based retinol alternative. It will transform your skin. In fact, it’s one of our fave discoveries of the past year.
Price: $90
8. Madewell The Harlow Wide-Leg Pant
We’ve spent years on the hunt for deeply flattering, wide-leg trousers we can throw on daily instead of jeans and look smart, as the Brits say. And when we found them at Madewell, we wrote all about it HERE and HERE and 27 other places we’re too lazy to link to. These pants are crucial to any chic capsule wardrobe. Also, the size and color range are both excellent.
Price: $69.50 - $118
7. Dr. Scholl's Time Off Platform Sneaker
We’ve made it known in many an article that we’re at a point in life where we require an orthopedic level of comfort in all shoes we wear. They made it to number 7 on our top 10 but these sneaks have consistently topped our shoe list. With every length of jeans, with dresses and skirts, they’re just so balancing and classic that it’s more like we’re wearing a ballet flat than a sneak.
Price: $70
6. Dior Lip Glow Oil In 001 Pink
We wrote about this as a critical part of THIS gorgeously glowy makeup look we all want. It’s the most balmy, beautiful gloss we’ve ever known. And we’re so glad you agree.
Price: $40
5. Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner
Right in the middle, we have this incredible liner. We were so wowed by the allure this liner gave our eyes that we practically tripped over out feet running to write about it. The color you want is called cinnamon. It is deliciously creamy and gives us the easiest, most gorgeous smokey eye of our lives. It also doesn’t budge or crease all day which is excellent for more … mature lids.
Price: $34
4. The Colette Cropped Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve
This comes as no surprise to us that for the second year running, these pants made our top 10 list. Who among us does not need that one pair of absolutely foolproof, supremely flattering, everyday pants that make our butts look great and our hips look smoothed and our bellies feel held in but like we can blessedly breath at the same time.
The original pants are made from a “magic fabric” you’ll want in 6 colors and that we wrote an entire article about HERE. They size in plus, tall, and petite, but we also HIGHLY recommend the jeans version. Unbelievable on curves.
Price: $120
3. Shapermint Truekind® Daily Comfort Wireless Shaper Bra
We’ve been up front about the fact that we will no longer do stabby wires and the slightest feeling of constriction. And we’ll be blunt. Lines in our underwear and overspill from our bra make us look/feel like our absent-minded 80-something aunt. We wrote all about this HERE. And it’s no wonder people jumped all over this seamless bra, because no bra has given us such comfort while also giving us such gorgeous, lifted, round shape. So wise choice, my friends. Very wise.
Price: $24
2. Furtuna Skin Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil
We always feel a bit like Isabella Rosselini in Death Becomes Her when we speak of this magic formula, which we do ALL. THE. TIME. It’s from the beloved brand Furtuna. In just a few drops you dab onto your skin, it’s plumping, so fine lines diminish, repairing, so blemishes melt away, restoring of your skin’s natural moisture, and brightening, so you instantly glow. If you’re serious about skincare (or just want one incredible thing that works), this could be your new favorite anti-aging thing. As it is ours.

1. J. Crew Classic mariner cloth boatneck T-shirt in stripe
And for our big winner of 2024, we have … this flawless tee.
In fairness, we’ve written about this tee 582 times, because J.Crew made a perfect version of the tee that chic Parisian woman have been wearing since Coco Chanel, and we had to share. If by chance, you don’t already own a marinière, this is the one that will turn all your dull jeans and pants into understated, French outfits.
Price: $25

5. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
Once again we start with number 5. If you know us, you know we’re obsessed with French pharmacy. And it appears you share our obsession as this is one of three French Pharmacy products to make the top five. This oil melts into your skin and smells like the most luxurious, clean, delicate scent you’ve ever smelled. It might just be the signature scent you’ve been waiting for. It certainly was ours.

4. Artfish Women's Sleeveless Tank Top

3. Eau Thermale Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid Replenishing Balm
Another hugely popular product to come off the glass shelves of Paris as well as the pages of The Candidly. This $36 cream is an incredible dupe for this famous $300 one. As soon as we tried it, we had to admit its magic. Needless to say, we rushed to write about it.
Price: $36
2. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Fluid Multi-Purpose Nourishing Moisturizer
This is our favorite French pharmacy body product, which says a lot given our love of this category. The smell is heaven. The texture melts into your skin instantly then hydrates like it’s your thickest cream. You can hear us go on and on about it even further HERE.
