I’m preparing for summer with a $100 budget—30 beauty and fashion products added to my cart.

      As I prepare for summer shopping, I wanted to explore options for $100 and under. I reflected on my essential warm-weather wardrobe items, many of which are quite affordable, like Gap’s Breathe underwear starting at $10. Living in New York City, the air conditioning is everywhere during the summer, and it cools off in the evenings, so I always carry a lightweight cardigan, such as J.Crew’s Jackie. I prefer natural fibers in hot weather, especially items made of 100% cotton and silk. For footwear, I often reach for kitten heels.

      Regarding beauty products under $100, I've been eager to try Westman Atelier’s Hydrobalm Sheer Tinted Lipstick along with Fara Homidi’s Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil. I'll be replenishing my Ouai shampoo, Rōz leave-in conditioner, and the Clinique lip oil that always garners compliments. I absolutely rely on the Is Clinical Active Peel Treatment for exfoliating, essential during the summer heat, as well as a gel moisturizer like Sofie Pavitt’s new oil-free version. I'm also in search of a new skin tint since my favorite YSL one has been discontinued, and I've heard Kylie Cosmetics is a good alternative. Check out these items and more below.
