Unlock the Power: 17 Beauty Products That Will Crush Your Routine and Transform Your Look This June!

“I am always on the hunt for a good dry shampoo, especially in the summer when my hair turns oily even faster from lots of sunscreen and sweat. I like that this one from Davines is actually invisible, so I don’t have to worry about those white splotches that never seem to absorb against my brunette hair color. It also smells subtly of coconut (maybe that is just me), which feels beachy and perfect for summer!” —Kristina Rutkowski, temporary e-commerce editor

“I love the cream-to-powder formula in this blush stick. It’s so easy to apply and blend, and it’s full of pigment! Meet There is the perfect pink nude shade for everyday wear and lasts all day for a sunkissed look.” —Olivia Alchek, senior designer

“This viral skincare product has been described as ‘filler in stick’ for a reason. The main buzzy ingredient in the balm, Volufiline, plumps skin by stimulating the fat cells. I’ve started seeing results after a few weeks of consistent use—particularly a lessened appearance of my smile lines and plumper-looking under-eyes. Medicube has done it again!” —OA

“I’m an avid fan and advocate of Red Light therapy for its skin and hair benefits, and was blown away after my very first use of this luxe shower head. The strength of the red lights (or irradiance) is very high—about four times the strength of the HigherDose Red Light Mask. You can even detach the red light ring for use outside of the shower. It was so easy to install, and I love the added benefits from the water filter. It’s a huge upgrade to my shower routine, making everything a lot more lavish.” —OA

“Even though it’s hot and humid out, I won’t go anywhere with a hand cream in my bag. I have been loving this light-as-air formula from Almora Botanica as of late, because although it has calming centella asiatica, a natural retinol alternative, and skin barrier-boosting ingredients, it sinks into hands instantly and leaves behind a faint clean scent.” —Katie Intner, beauty market and commerce editor

“This is my favorite lip formula of the summer thus far. It has a slight, comfortable plumping effect that I swear lasts for hours, and the shine is unmatched (it truly gives that ‘jelly’ effect without feeling sticky). It’s safe to say it lives up to the name.” —KI

“My skin drinks up Medicube’s latest NAD+ serum—so much so, I have been scraping the bottle for more now that it’s empty. The NAD+ plumps and volumizes my skin while adding a subtle glow I love. Ever since running out, I can feel and see the difference in my skin. I guess this makes it one of my new holy grails.” —Zizi Strater, social media manager

“I have never received more compliments on my scent than when I started wearing this. Fresh out of the shower, and after lotion, I lather this milky serum-like fragrance all over… then head out the door surrounded by a cloud of sweet ambery bliss. The body milk formula keeps it on all day. Meaning, I get compliments from morning to night. Genius product and a gorgeous scent I now cannot live without.” —ZS

“I’m always on the hunt for the next status hand soap, and Homecourt’s Cece Exfoliating Hand Wash is one of the best. Not only does it smell divine and a little goes a long way, but the soap also contains tiny volcanic granules that help exfoliate your skin as you use it, leaving skin soft and smooth before hand cream is even applied.” —Tiffany Dodson Davis, beauty commerce editor

“Costa Brazil’s Vela Jungle candle is officially my new favorite home scent. It’s fresh notes of acred Breu resin, Brazilian Vetiver oil, wild jungle flora, and crushed cypress root are completely transformative, and linger long after the vessel is snuffed out.” —TDD

“I’m typically not a superfan of gourmand scents, but I am one of Flamingo Estate’s range of bar soaps, which is one reason I quickly fell in love with their Prinsesstårta version. The scent aims to be reminiscent of the famous Swedish sponge cake dessert but isn’t overly sweet, which typically turns me off from food-related fragrances or body products. In fact, I find the Prinsesstårta Milk Bar Soap quite comforting, partly because of its nourishing shea butter and raspberry oil formula and nostalgic scent, and partly because its dusty sage color is one of my favorite shades of green.” —TDD

“This K-Beauty perfume is like a compliment magnet—seriously. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve spritzed on its aquatic soft floral scent and almost instantly been told how great I smell. Not only does its distinctive notes of pink peppercorn, lychee, rose and iris absolute, vintage woods, and more help the fragrance stand out next to every other perfume in my collection, but it actually smells even better once it’s completely dried down.” —TDD

“This is hands down one of the best body moisturizers I have ever used. The texture is really the winner—it’s a gel but not wet, and yes, it may say banana, but not in a cream pie way. In a beautifully subtle way that reminds you of a wonderful remote beach in the height of summer. It was a limited edition, but now it seems to be back for good. You must try!” —Lynette Nylander, executive digital director

“Reed diffusers may seem a little dowdy, but I think they’re a great way to infuse scent into your space in a chic way. I have a couple of favorite brands, but Santa Maria Novella’s packaging probably beats them all. and work in bathrooms, bedrooms, and hallways, and the scent is infused with the essence of green tea, honey, and acacia!” —LN

“In the cooler months, I alternate between silk presses and wearing my hair curly, but the summer is when I let my curls really shine. Always in the market for a cream that enhances definition while keeping frizz to a minimum, my new favorite is Roz’s Evergreen Style Cream. The lightweight texture starts off as a paste that can be quickly worked into the hair, resulting in defined curls that still have body and bounce (and smell incredible). I like to finish with the Santa Lucia styling oil for added shine.” —Michella Oré, fashion commerce editor
