EDITOR'S NOTE

With the impending tariffs (more on that later this week), I’m anticipating many of my everyday products to increase in price — which makes restocking at the Sephora Savings Event an even greater hack. Pro tip: You can use your FSA/HSA dollars on eligible products, so I plan to do a sunscreen haul. In addition to SPF, here are my no-frills favorites from the sale under $50:

One of the most nourishing lip balms if you find lanolin irritating.
A hydrating serum and moisturizer in one.
A leave-in conditioner that gives the perfect air-dry every time.
A tubing mascara that only requires water to remove. I always go for the brown shade.

Steve Madden Cary Heeled Sandal

This wedding-friendly shoe is under $100.

Margo here. I always find my best pieces when I’m not actively searching for them, so having to find a great pair of shoes for an upcoming wedding felt like a fail in advance. (Yes, I’m aware of what I do for work, but when you’ve seen and shopped so many brands, things can get overwhelming.) When I crossed paths with these $80 Steve Madden heels, they felt like a gift from above. They have a cushioned sole, a short heel, and come in eight colors. I’ll rewear them to every event I have going on this summer.

Three Totally Random Things

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

Tripod Drying Rack

A game changer if you’re short on space.

Lululemon City Essentials Small Shoulder Bag

They make trendy purses now? They sure do.

Medicube Glutathione Glow Toner

Last week’s bestseller was glass skin in a bottle.

Like This? Try That.

Smocked, flowy dresses continue to be everywhere for spring/summer:

Like Hill House Home’s Ellie Nap Dress? Try These.

You’ve probably seen Hill House’s coveted Ellie Nap Dress everywhere. And while we’ve heard the dresses are so comfortable you could quite literally nap in them, paying $150+ to try out the trend is just not realistic nowadays. Our editors did a deep dive to find that Old Navy has a version of the dress that comes in both tall and petite lengths, with less-preppy smocking. Quince has a version that’s very similar to Hill House thanks to its exaggerated sleeves and tiered skirt — the only downside being its size range isn’t as robust as the original brand itself.
