I’m a Shopping Editor Who Gets Hundreds of Emails a Day — These Are the Products You Actually Need

Every time there’s a new launch from Sofie Pavitt, I get my credit card ready. This moisturizer from her brand came out this month and it’s perfect for anyone who has acne-prone, dry skin. If you’ve ever been hesitant to use a moisturizer with the fear that it'll cause breakouts, get this. It’s packed with squalene and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to repair the skin barrier without clogging pores. ($64, Sofie Pavitt Face)

You’re going to see a lot of makeup launches with skincare-forward ingredients and that’s the exact focus of this Glow Recipe launch. This blush comes in two shades, has a serum-like texture (so it’s buildable), and has niacinamide for brightening dark spots and minimizing redness. ($25, Sephora)

I’ve spoken many times about how I’m really into making my iced matcha lattes at home. The addiction is real, and it’s gotten to the point where I’ve started packing a matcha kit with me when I travel. I was recently connected with Mariana Kanellos, the founder of Visp, and she sold me on her recently revamped Elixir Mixer Bottle. This glass and silicone tumbler has a whisk built into the lid, so all you have to do is add your matcha powder, milk, and press. You’ll have a matcha latte on the go in minutes. ($99+, Visp)

Yes, I know Quince has pretty much everything, so them having activewear shouldn’t come as a shock. But their workout clothes recently popped into my inbox and after doing some research, I noticed that their pieces have Beyond Yoga, Alo, and Lululemon vibes at a fraction of the price. I’m personally eyeing these cropped yoga pants. ($34.90+, Quince)

This set from Wavytalk is under $100 and comes with three attachments, sectioning clips, and a protective glove. You can pick from a variety of heat settings depending on your hair’s needs, and it has a double-ceramic coating to ensure your hair will glide through smoothly. I highly recommend a thermal brush as an easy way to get an expensive-looking blowout at home with minimal effort. PS: Gracie Abrams’ hairstylist used this exact one on her at the Grammys.

Cleaning your shower, kitchen, and any awkward crevices in your space has never been easier. This power spin brush from Casabella is safe enough for tiles, glass, porcelain, laminate, and more. It has four different attachments along with an extendable section in the middle. I love how versatile this cleaning brush is — especially for the price. It’ll last for up to 100 continuous minutes on a single charge. ($49.99, Target)

I’ve been a fan of Madeleine Cohen’s petite-centred denim brand, Nelle Atelier, since the very beginning. This past month, the brand forrayed into non-denim petite clothing and I can’t stop wearing these trousers from the launch. They have elongating slits down each leg and are perfectly mid-rise. The best part is that I didn’t even have to think about taking them to the tailors. This brand is on the more expensive side, but if you’re short like I am, it’s well worth it. ($218, Nelle Atelier)

Prime wedding season is almost upon us and this Staining Lip Oil from Kulfi will be in my clutch at all times. It provides the glossy hydration of a lip oil with the lasting power of a stain. You can pick from nine shades, but I’m personally into Guava for a peony pink lip. ($24, Kulfi)

Spray these scents into the bowl of your toilet before you go and you’ll have the freshest smelling bathroom of all time. For spring, Pourri released two limited-edition scents, Orange Yuzu Twist and Orchid Vanilla Blossom. They even make purse-sized versions, too. ($9.99+, Pourri)

It makes me happy to see that there are so many inexpensive denim lines on the market right now — especially ones that are accommodating to all sizes, styles, washes, and lengths. Torrid’s jeans also come in countless styles and washes, sizing up to a size 30. You can pick from short, regular, and tall inseams. ($49.90+, Torrid)

This two-tiered system from Clorox is a great way to deep clean any contaminated kitchen tools. It’s collapsible and has an adjustable rack so you can maximize its space. To use, rinse any items with soap and water, add water to the reservoir, insert the adjustable rack, and press start. The power light will turn off when the cycle is complete.

I recently received a bouquet from them for the first time so they’re definitely new to me. You can pick from all kinds of arrangement styles and they’ll be delivered straight to your recipient’s door. They’re packed in a way that allows them to arrive safely, so all your giftee has to do is pick a vase and add the flower food it comes with. They have same-day delivery in select cities and I love that they have a weekly arrangement that’s on sale. (Price varies, The Bouqs Co.)

Reverie’s Milk Anti-Frizz Leave-In Nourishing Treatment is another product that isn’t new, but it popped up in my inbox and I’m intrigued. Our Senior Editor swears by this stuff as it’s lightweight and the ultimate one-step hair product. It moisturizes, softens, strengthens, and protects against heat styling. You can use it on dry hair or post-wash for air drys or blowouts. ($44, Reverie)

Hear me out. You might remember FabFitFun from 2016’s subscription box heyday and be thinking “what a throwback.” Same. So when I dug around their website after receiving a pitch, I was delighted to see that they’re now carrying high-end brands like Bala, Osea Malibu, and more. These boxes as a whole would make an awesome gift for someone, or you can split the items up inside so you never have to think about gift shopping again. ($54.99+ per box, FabFitFun)

Adulthood is getting excited about hand soap — especially one created by the momagers of all momagers herself. This hand soap is currently sitting in my cart because it claims to be cleansing but not drying, which is crucial this time of year. Rise, the brand’s hero scent, has notes of orange flower and jasmine. ($4.99, Target)

I recently tested out Salt & Stone’s Santal and Vetiver candle and bodywash, and I have to say, I’m captivated. The potent fragrance is calming and musky in a way that isn’t overpowering. If you’re a Le Labo fan or have been itching to try Le Labo’s too expensive fragrance, try this. While it’s still a little pricey, it’s better than spending $87 on a candle. (Price varies, Salt & Stone)

This is a part of Rifle Paper Co.’s spring launch and is the perfect “I don’t know what to get them” gift. It’s $26 and they can keep it anywhere — deskside, bedside, in the kitchen or entryway. Not to mention, it looks expensive. ($26, Rifle Paper Co.)

You’ll see a lot of retro-inspired shoes this year and I’m calling it now: Golas will be everywhere. I recently got pitched a chic metallic pair, but I’m loving Anthropologie’s offerings with brightly colored suede and leather. I find that these are more supportive than Adidas, so grab a pair before they sell out. ($100+, Anthropologie)

I’m getting back into wearing earrings after simply forgetting to put them on for a few months. I love these 14-karat gold huggies from Mejuri because they have a sleek latch closure, which means I won’t feel them when I’m sleeping. You can also add tiny charms. ($148+, Mejuri)
