My 2025 Shopping Bucket List: 30 Fashion and Beauty Items That Made the Cut

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Over the holidays, I had a little more free time than usual to do things I often neglect, such as weeding out unworn items in my closet and unused beauty products in my bathroom. After being faced with how overstuffed my storage space is, I decided that I'm only interested in purchasing things that I'll wear and use repeatedly in 2025. No more shoes that I buy for one trip or lipsticks purchased for one special occasion. The best way to stay on track with my shopping intentions is to make a list and stick to it, so on New Year's Day, thats exactly what I did.
My 2025 shopping bucket list consists of 15 fashion items and 15 beauty products that I'm prioritizing this year, all of which I know I'll wear over and over. In case you're seeking a bit of shopping inspiration or are just curious, keep scrolling to check out my list and perhaps even add some of these bucket-list items to your own collection.

Truth be told, I already ordered this a couple of weeks ago, but I will definitely repurchase when this bottle runs out. I wanted something with a slightly glowy finish but with decent, natural-looking coverage. I'd heard the hype, but this foundation exceeded my expectations.
