Top 12 Amazon Finds of 2022
12 Best Amazon Finds from 2022
Since starting my blog, one of my favorite series by far has been my Amazon series. On the last Wednesday of every month, I like to share all of the items I found the previous month and you have been loving these finds. From fashion to home to lifestyle, I test them all. As we begin to close up 2022, I wanted to share the top 12 Amazon items that changed the game for me this year. I found a ton of winners and I think you’ll like them too!
Amazon Fashion Favorites
Crop Tank
Okay one of the best pieces I purchased this year was this crop tank from Amazon. It’s from the brand Reoria and the quality is absolutely incredible. I love how thick and stretchy the tank is without being constricting. Now, I ended up getting it in black and white to wear under jackets or alone with pants and skirts. It’s rather versatile overall and has adjustable straps to help get you your perfect fit. I can easily see myself wearing this top often in 2023, plus it packs well so thats an extra bonus!
White Bodysuit
This was by far my biggest seller this year, the white turtleneck bodysuit! I shared it on Instagram and the video popped off. While I’ll admit it’s a bit on the sheer side, it’s such a great layering piece for sweaters and tees that I’m not even mad. I do like that it’s pretty lightweight and has snap closures at the bottom. It’s been great in my new snowy climate and if you do want to wear it on its own, just style with a nude bra underneath. You really can’t go wrong and you surely will be toasty this winter season.
Black Cowboy Boots
Moving into accessories and footwear we have my new go-to fun boot, the black cowboy boot! I had a similar pair that got dirtied at a concert so I picked up this pair and have been obsessed ever since. If you’re midsize like myself I will say they are ever so slightly tight on the calf however they are such a great shoe overall that I’m not mad. I recommend styling them for everyday by adding a skirt or leather leggings with an oversized top. Cowboy boots are the new go-to shoe and lets just say they aren’t for western girlies anymore.
Crew Socks
This pack of crew socks from Hanes has been a surprising 2022 favorite! Having moved back to Eastern Washington this year, it was time I upgraded my cold weather wardrobe. These socks were the perfect addition because they go just as well with clogs as they do booties or sneakers. I’ve been having a great time layering them over leggings or under my looser jeans. Either way your feet stay nice and warm and if you deal with ankle cuts from boots, these socks totally eliminate that issue.
Brown Bum Bag
This was the year of the Louis Vuitton bum bag which retails over $3,000, a price I was not about to pay for a handbag. Enter Amazon and their purse lookalikes, $30 was a much more manageable price point for my budget! I’ve honestly loved this bag this year, it’s quite roomy and since it’s worn across the body, it’s great for travel or shopping. I just layer it over my outfits and head about my day.
Pro tip: be careful with the zippers on this guy. I definitely lost one of the zippers a few months into owning this bag. So while you get what you pay for, it’s still a fabulous look for less and a rather practical find.
Gold Chunky Ring
Our final fashion find is this Cartier love ring lookalike. I had the stone version a few years ago that I loved but the gems fell out over time since it was a cheaper piece of jewelry. This version I prefer more now because it won’t tarnish or fall apart over time. It’s also fabulously chunky and pairs well with my various ring stacks. I recommend getting a bigger size to wear on the middle or pointer fingers, I think thats more of the vibe.
Amazon Beauty
Round Brush
In 2022, I made it my priority to get ready every morning. While I may not have done fabulous hairstyles every day, I did make sure to take care of my hair and makeup. In the hair category, I finally picked up a round brush for blow drying my hair and it’s a game changer. I use it during the last portion of blow drying my hair and it helps keep things sleek and voluminous. The key I’ve found has been to flip my head over and dry my hair upside down with the brush. It’s not the most professional technique but hey it gets the job done!
Nude Lip Liner
Another personal favorite this year has been the Nyx nude lip liner! I get the shade Peekaboo Neutral and I’ve been loving it. It’s the perfect pinky nude for my natural lip color and it looks amazing on its own or with a clear gloss over top. It’s also under $5 and goes on smoothly. Plus I’ve found it to be rather long lasting without totally drying your lips out!
Hair Wax Stick
Another great hair find from the year was my hair wax stick. I saw this on TikTok and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked for sleek hairstyles. On day three hair in particular I love simple low buns or high ponytails so this has been a total game changer. During the months when I was growing my bangs out too this was super helpful because it kept flyaways at bay without the bulk of bobby pins.
Ice Roller
This cool skincare gadget came into my life this summer and my life has been changed for the better! While I haven’t been hugely keen on skincare, I have started dabbling more in new products and I’m oddly obsessed with this one. Not only is it great for your face and reducing puffiness in the morning, it’s also nice for sore muscles because its cooling and mobile. I just keep it in my freezer and use throughout the week as needed. Can’t believe I used to live a life without this guy for the majority of my life!
Amazon Home
Grey Barstools
In 2022 I finally moved out of my parents house for good and back to my favorite city Spokane. With that move came the need for a bunch of new furniture like my set of barstools. I opted for this cute grey color since my aesthetic is pretty neutral and greyscale. While they were a bit of a pill to put together, they are comfortable to work from and they weren’t terribly expensive overall. For someone balling on a budget, I can’t really complain!
Drinking Glasses
My final Amazon fave of 2022 was my set of drinking glasses! Coming in a pack of 4, these round glasses are so stinking cute with their wooden lids and glass straws. Holding a large amount of liquid, I use these for coffee or smoothies in the morning. They also are easy to clean since they come with both a glasses cleaner and a wire brush for the straw. It’s a product I use daily and can’t imagine my life before, they are that dang good!
Happy Amazon Shopping
I hope this Amazon haul inspires your shopping for the end of the year and start of 2023. While I will always be an Amazon fashion girly, I also have enjoyed a lot of the lifestyle products I’ve picked up in the last year. As we head into a new year, anticipate a lot more fashion content and midsize try-ons. I’ve loved creating them on Instagram and need to do more styling videos on TikTok.
