Lunata's wireless styler is a game changer. It's cordless and has a rechargeable lithium ion battery so you can take it with you anywhere. Each charge lasts up to 45 minutes and it heats up to 400 degrees in a flash. The one-inch floating titanium plates need just one pass through the hair to leave it smooth, shiny and frizz-free. I love that I can straighten, curl or get subtle bends in my ends with just one tool. It's even great for bangs as it doesn't leave those annoying little crimp marks on the supershort baby hairs.
The charger itself is small and minimalist in design, so it looks neat and chic perched on my vanity. I just insert the pretty white and rose gold iron into the charger and take it with me to the gym, in my overnight bag or my purse in case my hair starts misbehaving while I'm out and about. It comes with a silicone heat protectant cover that you pop on after using so it doesn't burn you or anything inside your bag. Typically, I use two to three irons to achieve my ideal hairstyle, but Lunata is like having three irons in one. And for that reason, I'm bringing this baby with me to Hawaii next month!

A few years ago, I had a four-month-old foster puppy named Waffles. Waffles loved no toy in the entire world more than my Smith's Rosebud Perfume Co. Minted Rose Lip Balm in a Tube, $6. He snatched it several times when my back was turned and chewed it to death, leaving little puppy teeth marks all over it. And ... I still used it. I know — insert grimacing-face emoji. But that's how much I love this lip balm. I never get tired of its herbal-floral scent, tingling minty freshness and slick feel. In the years since, I've bought so many backup tubes there's no way I could run out. There's one in my backpack, one in my coat pocket, two in my top drawer in the bathroom and two in my bedside table — all out of reach of dogs. — Katie McCarthy

For years, I've been trying to come over to the natural deodorant lane. I'm constantly on the go and bad B.O. is just not something I'm willing to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I also wasn't willing to smell like the outdoors or like my boyfriend, which seemed to be the scent of most most natural options I'd tried. So when I heard of the Kopari Coconut Deodorant, I thought I'd give the natural route one more try — and, boy, am I happy I did.
Kopari is a brand that I know and trust. I slather on its signature coconut oil melt every day in the winter so I know the brand understands my desire to find a deodorant that is natural, effective and still feminine. Kopari Coconut Deodorant, $14, is infused with coconut oil and milk to keep bacteria-causing odor at bay and it's aluminum-free, so scary health concerns aren't a concern when I swipe this on. My favorite part of all is the scent. Oh, the glorious scent of coconut! It's so subtle, but still makes me feel like a lady. It's totally worth the few extra bucks for this natural coconutty formula. — Andrea Jordan

When it comes to skin care, I'm a bit of a lazy girl. I like easy. I like fast. So for those reasons, I absolutely looooove face wipes. And Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes, $6.99, are my current favorite. Just one sheet removes it all—foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, everything—with minimal effort. Even my "smoky eye" nights disappear with a few easy swipes.
Even though the wipes are super effective, they're also incredibly gentle. There's no need to rub and pull like crazy at the delicate skin around your eyes. (I have very sensitive skin and they don't irritate me, which is rarely the case.) But, perhaps best of all, they leave zero residue behind (that's a huge pet peeve of mine). There's no film, no greasiness, none of the bad stuff. All you're left with is just clean, soft skin with nary a trace of makeup left behind. What else could you ask for? —Alyssa Hertzig

I've swatched and tested dozens upon dozens of highlighters and found many winners: Some glitter as brightly as the sun, others glide like butter across your cheekbones...
But it's not every day you fall properly in love. And reader, I have: with the new Shiseido Inner Glow Cheek Powder, $29, specifically with the shade Inner Light. It's like magic; dusting it atop your cheeks adds an instant soft-focus glow that shimmers and catches the light just so. The powder itself is finely milled and blends seamlessly into your skin — meaning, it never looks cakey or overdone (no matter how much you pack on). And the resulting glow is so natural and dewy it almost looks like a cream product — but since it's a powder, it wears longer and is better suited for oily T-zoned, combination-skinned people like myself.
For me, it strikes that perfect balance of noticeable and not-noticeable, as opposed to a full-on metallic gleam, the finish is very much Your Skin But Better (which is very much my jam). It's so soft and romantic...I hope you love it as much as I do. — Rosie Narasaki
