Unlock July’s Best-Kept Beauty Secrets: The Editor-Approved Products That Will Transform Your Routine Overnight!

“Susan Yara, the brainchild behind my favorite skincare brand Naturium, just launched a new line called Playa. The hero product is this fragrance-depositing hair gloss, and I am obsessed. In fact, I am probably using too much of it and too frequently, but I can’t get enough of how it makes my hair look, feel, and smell. My hair air-dries with significantly less poof and frizz after using this in place of conditioner, and the musky floral scent lasts for days. Days. I keep sniffing my braid like a weirdo.” —JR

“Not only is this blush just the cutest little thing (eep!), but the pigment it leaves behind is so stunning. The formula is creamy and blendable, but like all of Armani’s products, it wears for hours without fading. I find it so much easier to use than liquid formulas, and prettier on my dry skin than powders.” —JR

“I love fancy little bars of soap, but often they contain fragrance that my skin finds irritating, so I rarely indulge. Not this one—its milky sweet scent is gentle on the senses and my body. I picked up a bar when in Florence earlier this summer and love how it cleanses and hydrates the skin, perfect for dry, hot days.” —Michella Oré, fashion commerce editor

“Years ago, I received a bottle of a woodsy perfume that I instantly fell in love with and have since been in continuous pursuit of a replacement for. Bottega Veneta’s Bare Morning is nearly identical, if not better—it’s warm and subtly spicy, thanks to notes of sandalwood and musk, and perfectly layers over my Kiehl’s Creme de Corps for a sensual effect. I love applying it on summer mornings, when the air isn’t too thick and a gentle breeze is present to carry it across the room.” —MO

“I can’t sing the praises of this hairbrush enough—I now consider it the fairy godmother of my wash and go routine. While the Bounce Curl brush requires a bit of a learning curve to master, once you get it, coily and curly hair wearers will likely never have a bad hair day again.” —Tiffany Dodson Davis, beauty commerce editor

“Just about any Bazaar editor can tell you that I’m a superfan of slicked-back buns, since I wear the style in the office at least three times a week. This versatile styler makes it a breeze to keep frizz at bay and combines castor seed oil, mango seed, and shea butters to keep my hair hydrated yet defined without leaving behind any residue or build-up.” —TDD

“As soon as I used YSL Beauty’s new cushion foundation, I was hooked. Its formula is deceptively full-coverage, since it’s also extremely lightweight and non-cakey. And since a little goes a long way, I only need to add a hint of concealer for a flawless base.” —TDD

“Violette_FR’s Plume eyeshadows are the makeup essentials I didn’t know I needed. Unlike other formulas I’ve used in the past, this cream-to-powder version is highly buildable, leaving a sheer wash of color that transitions seamlessly from day to night. Anyone looking to create a subtle, softer smoky eye should opt for the shadow in Charbon Fumé—the shade also happens to layer beautifully with the Euphoria x Half Magic Glitterpuck Pressed Fairy Dust atop it.” —TDD

“As a new mom, my ability to take time outside of the house for a spa day is greatly limited. That’s why I started doubling down on face masks for 20 minutes at home. Femmue is one of my favorite skincare labels, and their glow masks leave my skin feeling dewy, refreshed, and silky smooth. I’m obsessed!” —Julie Tong, senior commerce content lead

“I love an LED mask, especially one with multiple colorways to fit whatever my skin is desperately needing at the time. This one has been my go-to lately and my favorite way to wind down at the end of every day.” —Sarah Olivieri

“I bought this to help with my more hollow-looking under-eyes, but I started putting it on my lips as well and have, on numerous occasions, been asked if I’ve recently gotten lip filler. This will be an immediate repurchase when I run out.” —SO

“Summer days for me often mean a constant cycle of self-tanner and exfoliation. This Body scrub keeps my skin looking glowy and smooth while avoiding any patchiness. I love that the formula combines both physical and chemical exfoliants to cleanse and treat my skin without drying or stripping. And as an added bonus, it smells amazing!” —Olivia Alchek, senior designer

“July heat means I need to arm myself with a strong and reliable deodorant. When it comes to sweat protection, Dove always works best for my body. I love this invisible stick formula that dries instantly, without any fear of transferring onto my clothing. I feel confident and fresh on even the stickiest of days.” —OA

“The best thing I’ve ever done for my hair is switch to a silk pillowcase. As a chronic hair-shedder, the lack of friction between my head and my pillow has significantly reduced any nighttime hair loss. I’ve also seen an improvement in my hair texture (less frizz) and skin since I’ve upgraded my sleep routine. This is one beauty hack I’m holding onto forever!” —OA

“After researching creatine, I’ve been aiming to be consistent with taking it, but it’s hard to find a formula that is genuinely enjoyable to take and won’t cause bloating. Elysium’s new Creatine powder checks both boxes for me. The powder comes in two delicious flavors—lemonade and berry—and doesn’t taste chalky or artificial. Since incorporating it into my supplement routine, I’ve noticed more muscle definition, and it’s amplified the results from my workouts.” —Katie Intner

“I genuinely look forward to showering, thanks to this Each and Every Body Wash and its summer-in-a-bottle scent. The unexpected combination of lime and coconut feels summery without smelling too tropical. Not to mention, the wash has a lush sud that goes a long way. I will use this body wash year-round—especially in the colder months when I want to imagine a beachy escape.” —KI

“I am extremely picky when it comes to mascara, but I’ve been loving Caliray’s new Tubing Mascara. It lasts all day without flaking and applies without clumping my lashes together, which is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to mascara. The brush separates lashes while adding fluttery volume.” —KI

“Frequent beach and pool days have made my hair feel dry and brittle. I recently integrated Kristin Ess’s Gloss system into my shower, and my hair has felt silky and smooth. I love that the gloss adds shine and softness (in under a minute, nonetheless!) without weighing down strands, which I find often happens with moisturizing treatments.” —KI
