Sorry Not Sorry — 30 Makeup, Skincare, and Haircare Discoveries That Will Ultimately Deplete My Bank Account.
(Image credit: @aniyahmorinia) I'll be straightforward: I struggle with self-control when it comes to beauty products. I'm eager to test, swatch, and purchase nearly every new item that has hit the market recently. Whether it’s the changing season, targeted ads, or my fellow editors with impeccable taste filling my shopping cart, the truth is, it’s all happening. Fortunately for our budgets, I have a knack for balancing high-end and budget-friendly beauty finds. My focus is on discovering effective hair, makeup, and skincare products instead of simply popular brands or expensive prices. Below are 30 items that fit that bill. We’ve got sunscreen, deodorant, lip liner, lash treatments, and more. If you're looking to refresh your summer beauty collection, continue reading.
Color Wow
Color Wow Extra Strength Dream Coat Ultra-Moisturizing Anti-Frizz Treatment
My fellow editor Anneliese Henderson swears by this. I trust her and the numerous positive reviews it has received online.
SHEGLAM
Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick
I enjoy applying this glaze stick to the inner corners of my eyes for a radiant appearance.
COSRX
The Retinol 0.5 Oil
I’m falling for this retinol, which addresses loss of elasticity and dryness.
Image Skincare
Vital C Hydrating Overnight Masque
Self-care feels different in the summer. I’m adding this overnight mask to my routine.
e.l.f. Cosmetics
Halo Glow Powder Filter
You’ll find me touching up my makeup on the subway, in the backseat, and at the dinner table all summer long.
REFY
Lip Sculpt Longwear Liner
It’s gained internet fame for a reason. This long-lasting, transfer-proof lip liner enhances any lip look.
I’m a fan of two-in-one products. This moisturizer offers SPF 30 while keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day.
Hanni
Splash Salve In-Shower Body Moisture Treatment
My coworker Kaitlin loves Hanni products and highly recommends them. In line with summer self-care, I’ll be taking her suggestion and trying this in-shower treatment.
Katie Kime
The Oversized Accessory Bag in Color Block
To carry all my beauty purchases on their way to me, of course.
Nécessaire
The Hand Cream
Don’t be misled! My hands still dry out during warmer months. I keep this in my desk drawer at work.
OPI
GelColor Love Is in the Bare
I’m not getting married, but if I were, this would be the manicure color I’d want.
Sunscreen is crucial year-round, and especially in summer. This one shields your skin from both the sun and pollutants, as well as blue light.
Garnier
Color Retouch in Brown
Just $5 and 10 minutes is all it takes to hide your roots.
SHEGLAM
Complexion Boost Concealer
Here’s the creamy, lightweight, brightening concealer I’ve added to my collection.
Olaplex
No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
My hair is slightly damaged from winter heat styling. This duo is visibly repairing my strands with each wash.
Westman Atelier
Face Trace Cream Contour Stick
Sculpted glow is in the works.
SHEGLAM
Color Bloom Liquid Blush
The color, the applicator, the glow—our beauty team was astonished this was just $7.
Dippity-do
Girls With Curls Gelée
I’ve already used two tubs of this. Enough said.
Dossier
Ambery Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Inspired by YSL's Black Opium and under $30? I’m sold.
Swap makeup wipes for this cleanser and thank me later.
Flash Cosmetics
Flash Happy High-Definition Mascara
Length, volume, and curl are all I desire in a mascara, and this one delivers.
SHEGLAM
PoutPerfect Moisturizing Solid Lip Gloss
I team this with my go-to dark-brown liner for the ultimate nude lip.
My friends love this product. I apply it generously before layering my wash and go with the curl gel mentioned above.
bareMinerals
Original Mineral Veil Set + Protect Translucent Powder Mineral SPF 25
Finally, a practical way to reapply SPF over makeup. This will be at the bottom of my purse in three to five business days.
T3
Aireluxe Professional Hair Dryer and Brush Set
Ready for at-home blowouts.
OPI
Nail Lacquer Big Apple Red
Regardless of red-nail theory, a classic red manicure is always a safe choice.
Bubble Skincare
Slam Dunk Hydrating Face Moisturizer
Bubble offers more than just cute packaging. I appreciate a moisturizer designed for sensitive skin that’s loaded with natural ingredients.
Honestly, I couldn't handle NYC's heat waves without this deodorant.
Medicube
