From non-smudgy mascara to the surprisingly worth-the-hype Dyson AirStrait, here are my top purchases of 2024I was struck by how dominant makeup and devices were in 2024, after years of skincare mania in the market. Saie, a fairly priced US makeup startup, stormed it. With the notable exception of its complexion products (improvement needed), the line is excellent. Dew Bronze (£20), an extremely easy, natural-looking bronzing liquid, was its best launch. I reached for it again and again, fluffing it into cheeks and temples with their now-indispensable Base Brush (£21). Saie could get away with less for the money, but mostly overdelivers.Speaking of price, the high-street hits kept on coming.
