Skincare That Actually Works
Obsessed with this brand. Derms, estheticians and anyone with ezcema can attest - it's that good. I love the Glenser, their redness reducing serum and their SPF lip tints
Modern Dermatological Skincare Products - Prequel
ultimate hydration essential no matter your skin type
Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster Serum
Sensitive Skin? Use once a week. If you can tolerate more, 3x a week then work yourself up to daily. It will help you maintain the ‘just-had-a-facial’ level of clear skin.
REN Clean Skincare Glow Tonic - Daily Brightening
Despite summer, everyone needs a barrier recovery cream to let their skin soak up overnight. This is fragrance free, ideal for sensitive skin and at an afforable price point.
SOS Barrier Recovery Cream
A french skincare staple. Need I say more? But really, get ready to enjoy hydrated skin that doesn't require a drop of makeup to glow.
Lait-Crème Concentré - Daily Face and Body Cream - Embryolisse
Perhaps the best $6 item you'll ever buy. This caffeine eye gel packs a punch, lasts a long time and actually shows a visible difference once applying
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
This is my ride or die serum for glass skin and a post facial glow. Yes, I’ve been gifted this serum many times but it is also a product I consistently buy myself. My skin can’t live without it because I’ve SEEN what it does to your skin overtime and...
Hydro-Bound Daily Serum
SPF That Doesn't Suck
Clinical formulas for SPFs will always win. There's a reason derms recco this brand so much. I've tried nearly everything from them and their face SPF layers perfectly with makeup - no worries, no pilling, no greasiness.
Face Sunscreen– EltaMD
I rather overdo it on sun protection then get a burn! This SPF 70 formula is great for beach, pool, lake days and I'm always worry free when using it. It's not greasy, easy to spread on and doesn't bother my eyes.
Beach Defense® Oxybenzone-Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 70
One of the coolest SPF brands there is AND they're AUS based so you know they're good. Their innovations with mists and invisible formulas can't be beat and their glow drops and lip tints are one of the best kept makeup/spf secrets.
Naked Sundays
Skip the foundation - use this instead for a glow that give SPF 30 protection
DAILY PREVENTION pure mineral tinted moisturizer SPF 30
Perfect for hikes or long walks with the dog. I feel confident in its protection and how it feels on a bare face or under makeup. Plus, Hailey Biebs loves it
Sunscreen
Multi-Purpose Makeup
my holy grail mascara, it's stood the test of time since age 13. that means dance recitals, first love breakups (and makeups), college hangovers and long days in NYC at the office and beyond.
They're Real! Lengthening Mascara
everything you love about Urban Decay's longstanding NAKED collection in creamy eyeshadow (and travel approved) form. Love the pinks and browns for my blonde hair and complexion. Exposed, Toasty and Sinnocent are my favorites
Naked Eyeshadow Sticks by Urban Decay | Crease-Proof Color
BEST thing I bought this summer. And yes, I bought this on my own and was not gifted by PR so I'm even more ecstatic with how it worked out. It's the perfect berry tint and trust me, I have tried dozens and dozens. Non sticky, great hydrating ingredi...
Lip Treatment - Marine Glycoprotein-Powered to Hydrate, Soothe & Repair
My best tip - mix this into your SPF if you're going bare faced or mix it into your foundation or skin tint for an all over subtle, healthy looking glow. French beauty does it best!
Glow Drops 5% Vitamin C + Aloe Vera
Accessories
my best ‘it girl’ accessory
Deborah Pagani Hairpin
always have one on my wrist
Classic Minnie Scrunchies - Slip
I owe 4 dainty bracelets from Mejuri. A solid investment that people never stop asking about.
Bracelets for Women
I love to bead my own necklaces and I find myself always looks at these for inspo.
Beaded Necklaces | Gold, Pearl & More
Pricey, and I was graciously gifted from PR but these sandals have been worn about 90% of my time this summer thus far. Way more comfy than Birks.
Sandals
Shower + Body Essentials
The BEST deodorant I have ever tried. As someone who needs extra strength deodorant - this one is the best in existence. The Clean Tangerine scent is addictive.
Spray Deodorant
Another LUME obsession. I actually reviewed it for InStyle… it helps you conquer whatever heat and sweat is going to come your direction (even NYC subway heat) wayyy before it happens.
Acidified Body Wash
I buy the jumbo. Use it all over your body, on your face as a first cleanse to remove makeup. Once of the best multipurpose beauty items out there. Its so silky, doesn't clog pores or leave a greasy film on skin.
Atoderm Shower Oil | Ultra-nourishing, cleansing oil, for dry skin
If you struggle with body acne, dry skin, dull skin or anything in between; these Naturium cleansers have a tailored choice for everyone. Filled with skincare grade goodness and I love the jumbo sizing with a pump.
Body Wash - Advanced Body Cleansers
if belly from TSITP was 27 and living in NYC - she'd pack this in her bag when she leaves on summer fridays or her weekend trips to cousins beach
Salt Eau De Parfum
The best lightweight moisturizer that isn't going to give you sticky skin. It also does an amazing job at extending fake tan.
Cream to Water Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrating Hair Care
Hydrate your hair that's been through whatever summer throws at it… wind through your hair, salty waves, chlorine and excessive heat. But, one thing this shampoo won't do is weigh your hair down.
Hydrate Sulfate Free Shampoo For Dry Hair - Pureology
a little goes a long way, I like to use as a conditioner substitute
Briogeo Hair Don't Despair Repair Deep Conditioning Mask
a spritz here, a spritz there on damp hair. It smells heavenly.
Leave In Travel Conditioner - Heat Protection Spray For Hair
A new favorite, love the detangling aspect.
