Add To Cart: What Our Editors Are Buying This September

“It's summer and it has been a hot one. Hydration is always important but especially when you are marathon training. Maybe I am just getting stronger, but I do not think it is a coincidence that I have also been feeling like I have so much more energy during my long runs and workouts after taking LMNT. These little pouches pack a ton of salt and electrolytes, which is important when you are going to be sweating a ton. They come in a bunch of flavors, each one being as delicious as the next. My routine has been taking it the night before my long runs because you get dehydrated while you sleep and then thirty minutes before I hit the road in the morning. I actually look forward to drinking this.” –Kelsey Borovinsky

"If Nikki DeRoest, celebrity makeup artist and CEO & co-founder of ciele cosmetics, told me to jump off a bridge in the name of beauty, I’d happily fling myself off the edge clutching this bronzer. Her versatile bronzing drops are SPF-spiked, contain skin-soothing ingredients (like niacinamide and allantoin), and melt into the skin like butter. While they can be easily mixed into skincare or foundation for an all-over tint, I prefer to apply with a brush for a touch of "sun" that's luminous and incredibly natural looking. It won't feel like you're wearing makeup at all.” –Hannah Cassidy

“REFY came onto my radar with Brow Sculpt, a wax-gel hybrid that gave me the look of laminated brows without the price tag. But it's this creamy, hydrating, line-blurring lip blush that has made me a brand loyalist. It's rare to find a matte finish that doesn't crack or dry out, and each shade is perfectly pigmented, always lasting longer than I expect it to. I wear it almost daily for an effortless pop of color.” –Deenie Hartzog-Mislock

“Beauty allows you to explore your creativity and there's no better way to color outside the lines than with ILIA's Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon. While designed as a long-wearing lipstick + precision liner for fuller, more defined lips, I find it's much more. There are 12 shades (variety for seasons!) bursting with hydrating and nourishing ingredients, like rosehip oil, seaweed extract and hyaluronic acid, for long lasting lip pigment — but I often use the Crayon as a multi-tasker, brightening cheeks as well.” –Christine Morrison

“I'm against single-function bags when it comes to myself (manhattan closet space is not a resource to be wasted), but I was beyond excited to get this Hospital Bag for my friend's baby shower. It's designed precisely for that oh-my-gosh-it's-really-happening day when you head to the hospital and your life changes forever. It's seriously spacious (so she doesn't have to worry about packing light) and it's machine washable (which she'll want to take advantage of because hospitals are ew). And even though it's called a "hospital" bag, I'm sure she'll get plenty of use out of it long after the new baby is here!” –Sanibel Lazar

“I originally saw this product on TikTok and thought it was too good to be true; a nail polish that lasts 10-12 days AND dries in 5-minutes. Very skeptical. I’m here to tell you this polish does exactly that and I’m officially obsessed. I used to have to choose between painting my own nails and having chipped polish after day 2 or destroying my already-thin nails with gel at the salon every 3 weeks. So when I say this saved my nails…I mean it. Dries so fast, stays on so long, comes off with normal remover, and leaves my nails strong. “Alluring Charm” and “Checkmate” are my fav colors.” –Sivan Weitz

“Since the pandemic, I haven't had the strength to wear a bra that didn't fall under the ‘Athleisure’ category. But, I'm different now. Things are different now, and that's only because I have found the perfect middle ground—ThirdLove's Mesh Wireless Bra. It provides the sexy allure of your classic wire-filled bra with the insane comfort and "holding pattern" of a sports bra. Things are high, tight, and locked in place while also making me feel like a grown a** woman. Big Second Skin Energy.” –Annie Goodman

“I'm obsessed with every Sol de Janeiro scent that comes out and this Cherirosa 76 is no different. First off, it comes in a gorgeous blue hue (my fave color) and it's the perfect scent to wear for a date night. Most of their classic mists have a very summer feel to them (which makes sense the brand is all about sunshine and Summer) but this one is actually inspired by Brazil's iconic 1976 disco scene. It has some of the most alluring notes such as midnight jasmine, lush freesia, and amber woods.” –Nikita Charuza

“This is a long-overdue ode to the haircare that has taken over my pre, during, and post-shower ritual. Everything ROZ makes not only smells amazing, but also makes my good hair day dreams an every day reality (no styling necessary). I'm using the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Milk Hair Serum every wash day, and the Willow Glen Treatment Oil when I (or my hair, but what's the difference) am in need of some special TLC. My natural waves have never looked or felt healthier.” –Zoë Brown

“When I tell you I’ve been looking for this… I’ve tried out various lash and eyebrow serums and unfortunately none of them have really made a difference. But luckily, I came across Agent Nateur, who has not one but TWO products supporting lash and eyebrow growth and protection. I love having one for the day time and one for the night time. I’ve never seen a 2-in-1 mascara that creates clump-free length and volume each day while nourishing follicles and supporting healthy lash growth over time. This product combo is truly a game-changer and I’ve seen results in as little as a few weeks! Highly recommend.” –Naomi Joshi

“As a fashion editor, it's hard not to get swept up in the trends, but if there's one thing I've realized, it's that no matter how fabulous a trend might be, there's nothing I love quite as much as having a reliable piece in my wardrobe. Enter this Peppermayo denim dress. Perfect for fall (think football game days, apple picking, and crisp autumn days) as well as every season in between (summer beach days, spring picnics, and winter outings paired with knee-high boots and a coat), this mini is a staple through and through. The best part? The sizing is inclusive, meaning it comes in XXS to 3XL. Oh, and did I mention it fits like a glove? Yeah, that, too.” –Lauren Harano

“Like seemingly everyone else, I’ve become obsessed with pickleball—partly because it gives me an excuse to curate cute court outfits. Although Pirdie is primarily a golf brand, their pieces are perfect for pickleball too, and I find myself reaching for this Pirdie skirt time and time again. The loose swing fit and stretchy fabric flatter every body type, and the retro piping adds just the right touch of flair to an otherwise sleek, streamlined design. Plus, it’s super functional with built-in mesh shorts that have a phone-sized pocket—perfect for those spontaneous selfies—and a hidden back pocket for my ID and credit card. It’s quickly become my go-to for both style and performance on the court!” –Tiffany Tse

“As a mom of two, I've been big into buying bulk lately -- and cleaning supplies are no exception. Between daycare sickness and little messes everywhere, it feels like we can't keep all-purpose cleaner stocked! That's part of the reason I've been loving Common Good's huge refills. The bergamot scent smells amazing and works great (which we all know we can't say about every eco-friendly cleaner). Add this big ol' box to your cleaning supplies and enjoy being ‘bulked up.’” –Dana Abraham

“I got this sauna blanket in prep for winter when I'm cold to my bones, and I've been using it at night on post-workout days to help with recovery. It heats up quickly, keeps the heat in, and feels great--I've found myself using it multiple times a week! Highly recommend this if you're looking for a high-quality alternative to a full-blown sauna.” –Kaleigh Moore

“I've been cooking a lot more lately and having the right tools in the kitchen makes a world of difference in creating restaurant-quality meals at home. The Cutluxe 7" Santoku Knife has been my go-to during every meal prep and I consistently look for it over other knives in my drawer. I love the weight of the handle and the width of the super sharp blade, which makes cutting, dicing, slicing, and mincing so precise and easy. If you're looking for a knife that does it all in the kitchen, this is one you'll want to have in your arsenal.” –Laura Leiva

“I've been nursing a knee injury for far too long, hoping the pain would just go away on it's own. Which has been difficult with my 6x a week fitness routine. I decided to invest in my health and get the knee pain under control with daily stretching and Theragun Elite. I've been using this small but mighty tool for the last two months and have been so impressed. Between the easy to use and comfortable grip, the Theragun app (free to use) has a couple of routines you can do for common stress points, knees being one of them. I've been following the quick 5-7 minute routine and have seen a significant improvement in my pain and performance. After just two months, I'm no longer using my knee brace, I can do 40% more of the leg work in my Zumba and Pilates class and I'm no longer walking up and down the stairs one foot at a time. It's been a game-changer for my total health. If you're looking for a pain-free tool to get rid of sore bones and tight muscles, Theragun Elite is 100% the way to go.” –Natasha Marsh

“I'm pretty *picky* when it comes to canned cocktails or wine but Archer Roose really impressed me. I've grabbed some for the beach, outdoor concerts, and pool parties and enthusiastically passed this canned wine around to my friends who are also politely put, wine snobs. Everyone reacts the same way, they take a first crisp sip and then a proclaim, "oh yeah wow that IS good". Now every event for the rest of the summer (but let's be honest, the rest of the year) will have an Archer Roose can floating in the cooler.” –Sophie Matthews Baumann

“The chicken industry in the US is not a pretty place, and I've been searching for high-quality, great-tasting poultry for a while. Pasturebird is the best I've found. The chicken is antibiotic-free and pasture-raised. But more importantly, it tastes great. The chicken breasts—and I'm more of a dark meat gal—are even flavorful. I won't be buying generic grocery store chicken again.” –Lizzy Briskin

“I have a soft spot for anything branded with Hello Kitty, making all the products released for her 50th anniversary an immediate add to cart. This Gel-X set from Apres Nail is so adorable I would buy it just for the case, but the products are just as good as the packaging. It comes with everything you need to DIY nail extensions at home and it's super easy! The Hello Kitty colors are the perfect shades to transition from summer to fall–especially Bow-tterfly am iconic, candy apple red.” –Olivia Ginsberg

“I've never been a big fan of carrying around an insulated lunch tote. It's always felt like an extra thing to carry and worry about not losing. But this Lunch Tote from DaCosta Verde makes carrying my lunches, snacks and beverages a stylish experience. I love carrying this lunch tote because it feels like a regular tote bag, but it is stain and water resistant and has useful pouches for stashing snacks. The blue floral print is also gorgeous and would work well for a luxury picnic.” –Maria Azua
