From starring as a Cheetah Sister to keeping it real on "The Real," Adrienne Bailon-Houghton has been gracing our screens since the early 2000s, entertaining us with her soulful voice, bubbly personality, and relatable commentary. Bailon-Houghton tells POPSUGAR that "hosting 'The Real' was the greatest, most fulfilling feeling — being able to share my heart, share my own life experiences, the journeys and the things that I was going through, and being able to connect with people on that level."

The singer, actor, entrepreneur, and host may seem like she's done it all, but she's just beginning. Currently, the star is embarking on a new journey of motherhood and making strides in her career as the coanchor of "E! News," a job that has unlocked a new excitement for her. From exclusive interviews with celebrities to glamorous red carpet coverage, she feels honored to be part of the iconic brand that is E! "I've been a fan for such a long time, way back from Giuliana Rancic and Ryan Seacrest, just that golden age of celebrity news," she says. However, her favorite part of hosting "E! News" is her cohost, Justin Sylvester. "The amount of fun we have is probably not normal, which I think just creates the best work environment. We're always laughing. We're always dancing, like commercial breaks are so much fun. I just love our cast and our crew," she says.

Bailon-Houghton gave us the rundown on some of her must-have products, including the incredibly comfortable APL sneakers and silicone antiwrinkle patches from SiO Beauty. Keep reading to see all of the go-to items she can't live without right now.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton's Affordable Must Have

Bailon-Houghton depends on the Bounty Quick-Size Paper Towels ($34) to tackle the big and small messes of the day. The brand has revamped its paper towels to be even more dependable and versatile, with more absorbency and durability. "I don't know if it's a Latinx thing, but like reusing a paper towel is a real thing," she says. "If you just wipe your hands or something after doing the dishes, you kind of just keep it folded there." After putting them to the test, Bailon-Houghton claims you can get at least three to four uses out of just one sheet of Bounty's paper towels. "The fact that I can get so much done with just one sheet is amazing; efficiency to the max," she says.

Pro Tip: According to Bailon-Houghton, the best way to keep your home clean is to not procrastinate. If you need motivation, she suggests making yourself a house-cleaning playlist.

"Splurge on something that you can use over and over again and that ultimately will be the statement of your outfit," Bailon-Houghton says. For her, it's the La Voûte La Seine ($85). "You literally could keep everything else simple, but if you've got a dope statement bag for spring, boom, you're popping," she says. She likes to pair this bag with bold, bright outfits. "Imagine you're in like all green, and I popped it with a pair of white sunglasses and a silver purse and white Jimmy Choo slides," she says. The La Seine has a stunning modern shape and can surprisingly fit all your essentials, according to Bailon-Houghton. "It's giving '90s Parisian chic," she says.

Pro Tip: The statement bag comes with a removable long strap that can turn it into a convenient crossbody.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton's Morning-Routine Must Have

"I feel like anything that you can do that feels like a luxurious experience first thing in the morning is a must," she says. The Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Magic Eye Cream ($65) is Bailon-Houghton's favorite product to help her kick-start the day, and it's also ideal for those with drier skin. Packed with time-released retinol, a botanical complex, and winter daphne stem cell extract, this eye cream will help brighten the undereye area while reducing the appearance of fine lines. "We wanna feel like we looked in the mirror and we're like, 'Yes girl, you are glowing.' This is going to do that. It might have a little bit of caffeine in it that picks up under the eyes, and it's got this great glow to it that's super hydrating," she says.

Pro Tip: "I also am a huge fan of keeping your eye creams in the fridge so that when you get up in the morning and put it under your eyes, it's got this great cooling effect," she says.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton's Sleep Must Have

As a side sleeper, Bailon-Houghton relies on the SiO Beauty ChestLift Silicone Chest Patches ($32, originally $34) to prevent wrinkles in that area. "I started noticing maybe six months ago that I was getting like little lines there, and I was like, oh no, we cannot have that," she says. The SiO Beauty ChestLift patch is a reusable silicone patch that helps keep skin hydrated and firm to prevent fine lines. Bailon-Houghton says it also helps her keep her breasts separated and supported throughout the night; once it's on your skin, she says, it doesn't move. "Even if you sleep on your side, they never touch. You wake up in the morning, you pull it off, and it is smooth as a baby's butt," she says. The patch is reusable, and according to Bailon-Houghton, with proper care, you can get around 14 uses from just one.

Pro Tip: "I would make sure that it's on clean skin. You definitely wanna make sure that . . . it's actually staying stuck, because if you have too many moisturizers going on here, it will not stick, and it's kind of pointless," she says.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton's Must-Have Pair of Sneakers

Bailon-Houghton tells us that the APL TechLoom Zipline Sneakers ($320) are the most comfortable shoes she's ever worn, and she loves to travel with them. "There are days when I just pretend I'm going to the gym just so that I can wear them with a cute little 'fit," she says. She loves pairing them with some cozy athleisure from Set Active, a puffer vest, and a New York Yankees cap. Her husband sports them, too, and she's since gifted them to her entire family. Bailon-Houghton appreciates the support these shoes deliver in the gym, especially when she's weight training. "I feel like the fact that they're slightly elevated in the back actually helps you target your glutes even better," she says, pointing out that it gives her a little height as well. These sneakers are also an editor favorite; read our in-depth review of the APL TechLoom Zipline sneakers here.

Pro Tip: These sneakers run small, so you might need to size up a half size for a comfortable fit.
