CurrentBody Hair Laser Removal
Buy on Currentbody.com $759
Laser hair removal is pricey. Just one session for your legs can cost upwards of $800. So, having a safe and effective option for at-home use is amazing. This tool from CurrentBody employs a diode laser, which is safe for use on light-to-medium skin tones (one through four on the Fitzpatrick scale) and black to light brown hair. It has a built-in safety sensor to ensure your skin and hair color are compatible with the device and is pretty painless to use. Plus, it has built-in cooling tech to offset any discomfort caused by the laser’s heat. It’s safe to use on legs, arms, bikini lines, underarms, feet, hands, chest, back, stomach, and sparse facial hair from the cheekline down.
Clarins Multi Active Collection
Buy Now
The Clarins Multi Active line comprises five moisturizers (for different skin types and times of day) and a treatment essence. Each product shares two main ingredients: niacinamide and organic sea holly extract. Niacinamide smooths fine lines and texture, while sea holly reinforces the skin's moisture barrier, keeping it hydrated and firm.
WYN Beauty Glideline
$19
Serena Williams always looks her best when she steps on the court, and effective, sweat-proof makeup is a part of her secret sauce. So naturally, she set out to create her own line, WYN Beauty (pronounced win, get it?). I'm genuinely in love with the brand's eye pencil. It has a creamy formula that glides on with ease and is super easy to smudge (with the built-in angled sponge) for a smoky, diffused look. But then, it locks in place and stays put, allowing my wing to look just as strong from the office to a dinner party.
Kate McLeod Dusk Stone
Buy Now $38
Anything Kate McLeod puts out is immediately entering my body-care routine. Her waterless, cocoa butter moisturizing stones nourish my skin like nothing else — so much so that I'm genuinely a bit sad when I'm using a body cream or lotion instead of one of her stones. The brand's latest launch, the Dusk Stone, is designed as a natural bug repellant. It's made with lemon grass and citronella, which, in addition to repelling insects, smell divine. I haven't had the chance to put the stone's anti-mosquito properties to use, but I can say the scent is intoxicating, and it feels just as luxurious going on as her other products.
Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Cream
Buy Now $240
The Glow Cream was inspired by Dr. Strum's best-selling Glow Drops. It's a rich cream that boasts nourishing, smoothing, and soothing ingredients like wild rose extract, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid. Plus, it has light-reflecting pearl pigments that give your skin an instant subtle shimmer
Talika Lipocils Démaquillant
Buy on Amazon
I can't even begin to count how many times I've lost lashes after tugging off my eye makeup with an ineffective remover. This new eye makeup-remover balm offers a two-fold solution to this problem: it melts off tough eye makeup with ease and delivers a nourishing blend of castor oil, shea butter, and more to promote lash growth. I use it as the first step in a double cleanse, but to reap the growth benefits, rub it in with your hands, remove the excess with a clean cloth, and let the ingredients work their magic overnight.
Oribe Hair Alchemy Heatless Styling Balm
Buy Now $48
This lightweight balm blends a host of ingredients ranging from watermelon and edelweiss flower to chia seeds and fermented Yerba mate extract to offer a low-maintenance multitasking product. Formulated for fine-to-medium strands, it nourishes hair while defining texture and smoothing frizz and flyaways.
Neuraé
Buy Now
Fresh out of France, Neuraé is a neuroscience-based skin-care brand developed by Sisley Group Laboratories. It taps into the effect our emotions, and thus, certain neuromodulators, have on the skin. It uses rejuvenating, destressing ingredients, aromatherapeutic fragrances, and soothing textures for an equally effective and sensorial experience. So far, there are seven products. Six are spread across three routines énergie, joie, and sérénité, each with a moisturizer and mood-boosting fragrance roller. The final product is the harmonie serum, which can be incorporated into any of the routines.
Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar
With a new season comes a new fragrance wardrobe, and I have been living for Ellis Brooklyn's latest scent. Aptly dubbed Miami Nectar, the scent is a blend of pink pineapple and coconut water, backed by plumeria, vanilla, sweet amber, and salted woods. Dousing myself in the sweet, sexy, and playful scent makes me feel like I'm walking along the beach with a cool drink in tow.
Aveda Be Curly Advanced Line
Buy Now
Aveda’s Be Curly Advanced Line pairs a vegan curl-strengthening peptide with kokum seed butter for strong and smooth strands. The line features seven products, including cleansers, conditioners, and styling products. Plus, the line is fronted by curly-haired beauty Antonia Gentry.
Mother Science Retinol Synergist
Buy Now $96
When I first spoke with Mother Science brand founders Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger and her husband Mike Einziger, I was blown away by the science. Their brand is centered around its proprietary ingredient Malassezin, a molecule naturally found in the skin that helps dramatically reduce the appearance of dark spots and sun damage. As excited as I was to use it, my first question was, "Can I layer it over a retinoid?" Now, a year after launch, I no longer have to layer as the brand released a Malassezin serum that's boosted with retinol. Safe to say, it's now a staple in my evening routine.
Irene Forte Pistachio Facial Oil
Buy Now
Pistachio is, objectively, the chicest nut out there. I love snacking on the crunchy treat or sipping a pistachio milk latte. And now, I can douse my face with it in the form of a face oil. New from Irene Forte, this oil is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and nutrient-rich. The antioxidant-infused, vitamin E-heavy elixir replenishes, hydrates, and protects the skin from environmental damage. In addition to pistachio, the oil has phytomelatonin, which helps diminish and prevent premature signs of aging.
Balmain Limited Edition Hair Spa Treatment Set
Buy Now $160
This limited-edition set includes a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner duo along with a scalp scrubber to bring the head spa experience home. The cleansing and conditioning pair includes nourishing ingredients like glycerin and silk amino acids, while antioxidants defend hair from the impact of UV light. The set is perfect for keeping your strands healthy as you sweat and swim your way through summer.
Dior Addict Lipstick
Buy Now $46
No brand does lips like Dior. And now, the French house's beloved high-shine lipstick is available in five new shades. They're a fresh take on pastels from Dior's creative and image director, Peter Philips. The new shades include 546 Dolce Vita (sunny coral), Rose Bonheur (subtle peach), Dior Lilac (subtly pinkish lilac, pictured above), 481 Désir (raspberry pink), and 616 Nude Mitzah (natural brown).
Vince Camuto Wonderbloom Eau de Perfume
Buy Now $98
Fresh floral fragrances will never go out of style for spring, and this scent from Vince Camuto is a modern take on the classic category. It blends white freesia, pear leaves, and sandalwood for a scent that's light, refreshing, and sweet without leaning too saccharine. Plus, the lid of the bottle features a stunning pink flower, making it a gorgeous addition to any vanity.
Fenty Beauty Soft Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation
Buy Now $40
The latest from Fenty Beauty, the Soft Lit foundation is the perfect middle ground for those who want the long-wear abilities of traditional foundation but the dew of a skin tint. It's a medium-coverage formula that hydrates and luminizes without leaving behind a greasy finish. Plus, it's waterproof and formulated to resist creasing, fading, sweat, humidity, and transferring. In other words, it's perfect for summer!
DamDam Matcha Boost Eye Serum
Buy Now $68
Caffeine is a common ingredient for revitalizing tired eyes as it works as a vasodilator, constricting blood vessels to reduce puffiness. However, using matcha as the source of said caffeine, as this new eye serum from DamDam does, is less common. Plus, this formula is packed with soothing L-theanine and antioxidants that help to protect against and reverse damage caused by environmental factors, like pollution and ultraviolet rays.
