I'm a Fashion Editor who has recently purchased more beauty products than clothing—here are 19 that I don't regret at all.

      While I might not be a beauty editor by profession, my passion for beauty products is profound, and I find it increasingly hard to resist new launches. As a fashion editor, it's obvious that I love shopping for clothes, shoes, and accessories; however, I've felt less inclined to shop for summer attire lately as I eagerly await the fall collections, leading me to focus more on the newest beauty products available. (True story: I check the Just Dropped section on Sephora every day.) I’ve tried countless beauty products this summer (and there have been many), but around 20 stand out that I can hardly imagine living without. I even had to acquire a couple of new makeup bags and cleared off space in my medicine cabinet to accommodate them. Among my top picks are Rare Beauty's new lip gloss, the creamy Summer Fridays blush and brush, and the much-talked-about Fara Homidi bronzer, among others. Keep reading to discover why I believe my new favorite beauty items are worth purchasing, and feel free to shop them for yourself.

      **ILIA Soft Focus Blurring Blush**

      I’m a big fan of blush. Whenever a brand I like unveils a new blush formula, you can count on me to be at the front of the line to try it. The latest powder blush that caught my eye is Ilia's Soft Focus Blurring Blush. (They won me over with the name alone.) It truly melts into the skin, which I can't say for most powder blushes. I'm particularly fond of the shades Breathless and Wonder, but all of them are beautiful and easy to wear.

      **Dieux Mini Air Angel Collagen & Peptide Hydrating Gel Cream**

      There’s nothing that brings me more joy (in a relative sense) than when one of my favorite products is released in a compact, travel-friendly size. Dieux Air Angel is my go-to moisturizer for all seasons—light yet noticeably hydrating, and it works well with other skincare products and makeup. It provides a slightly blurred finish that is nearly matte. (And don't forget about the new mini Instant Angel, which I intend to take on all my upcoming cold-weather trips.)

      **Fara Homidi Essential Bronzer Compact**

      Bronzer has never been a staple in my makeup routine, but I couldn’t ignore the hype surrounding this one. Once I tried it, I was amazed by how seamlessly it blended into my skin and the natural look it provided. Since I have fair skin, I opted for the shade Bois, which was pleasantly more neutral than warm—a rarity for bronzers. The accompanying brush is excellent, allowing for precise or full bronzing.

      **rhode Pocket Blush Tan Line**

      If you were to ask how many Rhode Pocket Blush shades I own, the answer would be quite a few. That didn’t stop me from promptly ordering the new Tan Line shade. It’s the ideal rosy summer hue and looks even more stunning paired with the bronzer mentioned earlier. (I referred to it as a summer shade, but I plan to use it all year for a sun-kissed glow.)

      **Crown Affair The Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner Duo for Oily, Flat Hair**

      Although my hair isn’t oily, I’ve found it a bit flat and thin this summer, and my usual hydrating shampoos and conditioners haven’t been effective. I had heard great things about Crown Affair's volumizing duo, and I can now attest to its excellence. It gives my hair bounce, lightness, and airiness—exactly what I was looking for.

      **Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss**

      I thought I had moved past sparkly lip glosses, but the new Rare Beauty Positive Light gloss completely impressed me. Its shimmer is subtle and lovely, without any chunky glitter. I first ordered Glimmer and then went back for Dazzle (yes, the blue one) because I loved it so much.

      **CYKLAR Naked Neroli Perfume Oil**

      My first encounter with Cyklar’s praised perfume oils was with Naked Neroli, and I finally understand the fuss. It’s a delightful, fresh scent for summer that has a soft floral quality, suitable for any occasion, day or night. I appreciate that I can easily throw it in my bag for touch-ups throughout the day, and I'm already contemplating which scents to try next.

      **Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm Hydrating Cream Blush With Peptides**

      Yes, another blush! This one is Summer Fridays’ new cream blush, and it’s as buttery as the name suggests. In fact, it’s so creamy that I thought it wouldn’t last long—especially during summer. However, I was mistaken. It wears beautifully throughout the day, and I particularly enjoy layering it over other, more matte blush formulas for added dewiness. I’ve been using Sweet Rosé and Toasted Terracotta, and Berry Spritz is on its way to me
