Whether you're embracing the coastal grandmother look or you want a fresh faced approach to the minimalist aesthetic, it's the perfect time to refresh your skincare cabinet and makeup drawer, and get some new beauty tools while you're at it. We're always looking for new beauty products, and while product reviews are nice, we're definitely more willing to try something if it's personally recommended from a friend.
We rounded up the products that the B+C team can't get enough of to give you some serious hair, makeup, and skincare inspo as we head into the second half of summer. From hair care to moisturizers to tried-and-true skincare products, these picks are our ride or dies.
"E.L.F. Wow Brow Gel is one of the first products I apply in the morning to look awake. It gets my brows in line in no time and requires no skill to apply."
Ali Ives, Head Of Content
"I started using the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation after the brand launch, and I will never use another foundation. I think the coverage is amazing given how lightweight it feels, and the color match is the best I've ever had — I don't even have to put it on my whole face!"
Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant
"The Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment has been my go-to for a few years now, and no matter which exfoliants I try, I always come back to it. It is so effective at keeping my skin clear and soft, but it also has a plumping agent that makes my skin look super youthful and hydrated. This product is holy grail status for me!"
Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor
"I'm forever on the hunt for the best brightening products, and I've fallen in love with how Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum has my skin glistening. I highly recommend it if you want to fuel your glow. I feel beamy every time I use it!"
Sophie Meharenna, Brand Marketing
"I love the look of naturally flawless skin, and CC cream has become my holy grail for achieving it without the caked on texture. I love the CC Screen 100% Mineral CC Cream from Supergoop! because it has SPF 50, which keeps my skin well-protected from sun damage and premature signs of aging."
Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead
"The Farmacy Beauty Green Clean is amazing because it can take of ANY makeup with no issue and it smells great! Plus it's a cleanser so you don't have to wash your face again after you use it."
Claire Shadomy, Graphic Designer
"I have dry skin and I live in a dry climate so I need a moisturizing cleanser that can do double duty. The soothing Loli Date Nut Brulee Organic Nourishing Cream is smooth and doesn't leave my skin dry. I also love that the company uses sustainable packaging. Win-win!"
Theresa Gonzalez, Branded Editor
"It took me awhile to come around to Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint because I'm such a Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer stan, but it really does give me a hydrated glow and evens out my skin tone. It's so crucial that my beauty products include SPF as I'm always out in the sun in LA, so I love that this one has SPF 40."
Ali Ives, Head of Content
"I'm a low-coverage foundation kinda gal - I really can't stand anything that makes me feel like I look made up. With so many tinted moisturizers and low-coverage foundations coming out these days, I've tried to branch out - but the Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream from bareMinerals is absolutely the best, hands down."
Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor
"I'm really intentional about removing all of my makeup because of how easily I break out, and the Garnier Micellar Water has been a constant for me since freshman year of college. It gets makeup residue, dirt, and oil that you can't even see out of your pores, and offers some extra hydration without ever causing me skin problems. There are different colors for each bottle's benefits, but I stick with the plain old pink."
Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant
"Independent beauty brands have always held a special place in my heart, especially when their products are this fun! The Innbeauty Project Lightning Bolt Eye Mask is loaded with caffeine (to de-puff), Vitamin C & A (to brighten and reduce dark circles), and hyaluronic acid (to plump & keep skin glowy). Plus, the reusable bright blue bolts make for a great selfie!"
Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead
"I always have CeraVe's mineral sunscreen stick in my bag — its mess-free application is amazing when I'm on-the-go or out walking my dog and need some extra SPF protection on my hands, arms, or face."
Ali Ives, Head Of Content
"Whether I'm on the go or I'm at my desk, I *must* have moisturized lips. I have tons of different lip products but one of my favorites is the Lottie London Oil Slick. It goes on just like a lip gloss, but it's hydrating and smooth instead of tacky the way that lipgloss is. Plus it smells like Lipsmackers so it's nostalgic to boot."
Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant
"For as long as I can remember, my go-to method of controlling my long, thick hair has been to keep it pin straight, devoid of its natural wave and accompanying frizz. At least until I discovered the wonderful world of hot air brushes! My inexpensive Conair Nano Hot Air Brush has made achieving the Serena van der Woodsen waves of my dreams an (almost) instant reality, and I'll never look back."
Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead
"I am completely in love with the Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Moisturizer. It's both lightweight and hydrating, which is perfect for my normal-type skin that's prone to hormonal acne around my chin and jawline. With a few drops of face oil (I love Herbivore's Orchid Oil) applied on top, it gives me just the right amount of hydration without clogging my pores or feeling heavy."
Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor
This John Masters Organic Cleansing Balm with Kokum Butter & Sea Buckthorn cleanser goes on like butter and smells great. I love using it in winter. I've also used Caudalie as a daily cleanser. It's almond milk-based and a clean beauty product. My mom always instilled in me to take care of my skin - her skin is amazing! We still share beauty product recs.:)
Theresa Gonzalez, Branded Editor
"I love bold babydoll eyelashes and a swipe of Milk KUSH Mascara delivers exactly that. It's truly the thickest, high-volume mascara I think I've ever used."
