Oribe Cleansing Crème For Moisture and Control

Oribe Cleansing Crème For Moisture and Control

I am so lazy in the Summer when it comes to my beauty routine that using a shampoo and conditioner seems like too much effort. So I've been loving Oribe Cleansing Crème for Moisture and Control ($44) — which is a no-lather hair cleanser that can be used sans conditioner. This is part of the popular co-washing movement, which is excellent for naturally curly hair like mine. My hair has been supershiny and soft thanks to purifying oils, citrus fruit extracts, and water-mint essence. — Lauren Levinson, beauty editor

Dolce & Gabbana Matte Lipstick

Dolce & Gabbana Matte Lipstick

I am now the proud owner of a red lipstick library thanks to Dolce & Gabbana. I have always loved bold, matte shades, and this season the fashion house has released 13 new shades in my favorite color — red. The hues range from punchy coral to moody aubergine, but they all have a tint of rouge. My favorite is the Dolce & Gabbana Matte Lipstick in Passion ($37), a crimson with a classic blue undertone. — Jessica Cruel, associate editor

Dr. Brandt Skincare Oxygen Facial Flash Recovery Mask

Dr. Brandt Skincare Oxygen Facial Flash Recovery Mask

I am notoriously lazy when it comes to using skin care. When I find a product that's worth adding a few minutes to my regimen, it has to be seriously special. This new mask from Dr. Brandt ($69) is like a real oxygen facial, crammed into a sleek turquoise vial. Just slick the formula over your wet face and wait for it to lather up like a bubble bath (it's a surprising amount of foam!). Once the suds subside, rinse your skin clean; your complexion will be dewy, fresh, and radiant. — Emily Orofino, assistant beauty editor

Chosungah 22 Dong Gong Minn Brow Maker

Chosungah 22 Dong Gong Minn Brow Maker

At the opening of Sephora's new Beverly Hills location — which is big enough to make a grown woman cry — I had a chance to get my makeup touched up. After perusing the aisles, I came across my new brow bestie, Chosungah 22 Dong Gong Minn Brow Maker ($22). (Say that five times fast!) It's a gel that keeps your brows in place, but the unique double applicator includes a sponge, which deposits color evenly onto sparse areas. This proved to fix my consistently bald brow spot in seconds. And it's waterproof! — Kirbie Johnson, on-camera beauty reporter and producer

Sol Janeiro Samba Foot Fetish Cream

Sol Janeiro Samba Foot Fetish Cream

When I met the founders of this new Brazilian beauty brand, I was an immediate fan. It contains just three products — a hair-bleaching treatment, cellulite-busting body butter, and this foot cream ($27). Summer sandals always beat up my feet, so this surfboard-shaped callus file and quick-drying moisturizer has been a winning combo in keeping my toes looking nice for those weekend beach days. Plus, it is infused with cupuacu butter — a nutrient-rich Brazilian superfruit. — LL

Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil

Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil

Like many mass beauty brands, Neutrogena tests its most exclusive innovations in Asia, where the skin care technology is always new and fresh. This month, the company is bringing a Korean bestseller over to the United States: its Ultra Light Cleansing Oil ($9). The product has been around for a few years overseas, where it beat out the prestigious competition in blind testing. The oil turns into a milky cleanser when you add water and rinses away even the most stubborn waterproof makeup. — JC

Rodial Instaglam Glow

Rodial Instaglam Glow

I have been looking for the perfect highlighter for what feels like forever. Many products look fake, look overly glittery, or are just the wrong hue for my superfair skin. I'm delighted to have found this Rodial highlighter ($32). Its shimmery champagne formula blends into my complexion perfectly, but even better? It delivers a high sheen to my cheekbones that makes me feel like I could take on Jennifer Lopez in a highlighting competition. — EO

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Killer Colors Collection

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Killer Colors Collection

I was obsessed with They're Real Push-Up Liner Pen ($24) since its launch last year, and now Benefit has expanded the entire line with vibrant colors. The mascara now comes in brown and blue, while the liner shades include purple, green, blue, and brown! — KJ

St. Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan

St. Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan

If you only buy one new product this Summer, go for St. Tropez's In Shower Gradual Tan ($25). Hands down, it is the most innovative launch of the season. Here's how it works: take a shower, stop the water, and apply this self-tanner (it feels like a creamy body wash) everywhere from your face to your feet. Be sure to clean off your palms, but you can rub a bit on the backs of your hands. Wait about three minutes during which you can do a hair mask or brush your teeth. Then, turn the water back on and carefully rinse it all off. Skip a moisturizer — the formula has almond oil so your skin should feel nice. After a few uses, you should see a nice bronze develop. The best part? No self-tanner streaks, drying time, or getting stinky lotion on your clothes. It's brilliant! I've been using it for about a month, and I am obsessed. — LL

Algenist Sublime Defense Antiaging Blurring Moisturizer SPF 30

Algenist Sublime Defense Antiaging Blurring Moisturizer SPF 30

Putting on sunscreen every day is truly a chore (even for a skin-obsessed beauty editor like myself). Typically products leave me ashy and oily in less than 15 minutes. The new Algenist Sublime Defense Antiaging Blurring Moisturizer SPF 30 ($75) is nothing like the white creams you're used to. First of all, it's pink thanks to the antiaging algae. The texture is like a whipped mousse that melts into skin, leaving your face with a soft-focus effect. It's a sunscreen and a primer in one. — JC

Australian Gold Hello Kitty Frozen Aloe After Sun Cooling Spray

Australian Gold Hello Kitty Frozen Aloe After Sun Cooling Spray

Last month, I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic, and despite my faithful application (and reapplication!) of sunscreen, I burnt my skin to a crisp. Luckily, I had this adorable skin savior ($8) waiting for me on my desk. Instead of typical gel formulas, this aloe spritzes out like snow (so fun!) and feels just as cold as the real thing, soothing my lobster-red complexion. — EO

Tyra Light in a Stick

Tyra Light in a Stick

Our girl TyTy perfected the selfie before Kim Kardashian was a household name, so it's no surprise that her own line of makeup includes products to easily contour and highlight. Tyra's Light in a Stick ($26) glides on your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and cupid's bow, and it blends evenly, leaving people to wonder if you're naturally glowing or if you had the help of an Instagram filter. PS: it's great for strobing, too. — KJ

Balmain Paris Hair Couture Texturizing Salt Spray

Balmain Paris Hair Couture Texturizing Salt Spray

Could this Balmain Paris Hair Couture Texturizing Salt Spray ($36) be any chicer? It has a sophisticated scent — like fresh linens in a beach house — and leaves hair with that model-off-duty texture. It will be coming away with me to weekend Hamptons jaunts. — LL

Lorac Pro Contour Palette

Lorac Pro Contour Palette

Everyone's contouring the heck out of their faces these days, debuting new tips and tricks to getting a chiseled, illuminated mug. I'm keen on a subtler approach to the technique. Lorac Pro Contour Palette ($45) is perfect for the lazy girl who wants to glow and enhance her jawline or cheekbones without a bunch of fuss. The contour shades are matte and come in three different colors to match all skin tones; the highlighters range from banana powder to luminescent. And, unlike most contour kits, this one includes a brush! — KJ

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Shower Oil

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Shower Oil

Nuxe Huile took its cult body oil into the shower! The Prodigieux Shower Oil ($15) has the same intoxicating orange blossom, magnolia, and vanilla fragrance, and the formula shows off a hint of shimmer. I love how it complements my spray tan with an illuminated glow. — LL

Olay Total Effects Featherweight Moisturizer SPF 15

Olay Total Effects Featherweight Moisturizer SPF 15

I've been using Olay since I was a teenager (after all, my mom and grandma used it!), but I took a little break once I started using makeup religiously — I just wasn't patient enough to let the moisturizer dry before using cosmetics. The latest iteration of the iconic product ($22) absorbs practically immediately, so my makeup application is streak free. The formula is fragrance free, too, so now I really have no excuse to not wear sunscreen on the daily. — EO

Suki Renew Body Oil

Suki Renew Body Oil

During the Summer months, I pack away all of my heavy body butters and lotions and opt for a body oil instead. Suki's Renew Body Oil ($28) is my new favorite because of its energizing citrus scent and the hydrating formula. The oil has a base of apricot, rice bran, and grape seed oils with an all-natural fragrance. The concoction is thick enough to keep my elbows and knees hydrated all day without leaving the rest of my body greasy or slippery in sandals. — JC

Glossier Coconut Balm Dotcom

Glossier Coconut Balm Dotcom

I'll buy or try anything with coconut in it, and Glossier's Coconut Balm Dotcom ($12) was no exception. The simple lip balm received a summery coconut makeover this season, and it joyously brings a tropical scent to my lips every time I use it. It also works great on cuticles, sunburns, and elbows. — LL

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation

You learn a lot about your makeup when your job requires being in front of a camera: don't go crazy with powder under the eyes, avoid anything that's too oily or you'll look sweaty, and if you want coverage that looks natural, use Make Up For Ever HD Foundation.
The brand is giving the foundation that started it all an upgrade, though: the Ultra HD Foundation ($43) was created with Instagram in mind, using what they call a "4K Complex" that includes light reflectors and hyaluronic acid to plump the skin. It still has a natural finish but comes in 40 different shades, so everyone can find their perfect match. — KJ
