EDITOR'S NOTE

As a commerce editor, I go through what I call “random search fixations” where I’m constantly looking for the best of one particular product. My latest “search fixation” has been affordable bodywash that feels luxurious. I’ve been on the hunt for weeks. Here are the ones that I’m currently trying out:

• Byoma Sensitive Skin Body Wash. It’s fragrance-free and has colloidal oat extract and urea to relieve tight, itchy skin. ($12.99)

• Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash. A L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil dupe. ($15.99)

• Billie Glow Body Wash. It has the best citrus scent and has lasted me for months. ($8)

• The Honest Company Calm Body Wash. A relaxing lavender shower gel that won’t irritate sensitive skin. ($9.49)

Do you have a budget-friendly favorite? Let us know here.

If there’s one thing we love to put off buying, it’s bedding. In our eyes, it isn’t as exciting as buying clothing or shoes, and it’s always expensive. Which is why our editors love to take advantage of any and all bedding sales. Now until October 28, Brooklinen is offering 20% off sitewide. You might know exactly what you need, but if you don’t, we love their Super-Plush Bath Towels and Luxe Sateen Sheets.

Three Totally Random Things

Check out three totally random things we’re loving this week:

Take Note

Margo here. I’ve been a longtime fan of Merit for their easy-to-use makeup that gets me out the door in five minutes or less. It’s been awhile since I updated my everyday fragrance, so when I found out they were coming out with Retrospect, their first perfume, I knew I had to test it out. Retrospect’s bottle is inspired by modernist jewelry, and the fragrance is made of 30% perfume oil, so it’ll last for up to 12 hours. I tested it over the last few weeks and can attest that its staying power is real. By the end of the day, it adjusted to my body and smelled fresh. The best way I can describe the scent: It’s just like all those nostalgic perfumes you grew up with, but with a grown-up twist.
