I've been on the hunt for the perfect nothing nail polish for months. I want something not too white, not too pink, not completely clear -- basically lip gloss for your nails. Fortunately, nail genius Jin Soon Choi knew people like me would be looking for exactly that this summer, and she came up with Jin Soon Nail Polish in Pixie, $18. It's sheer, slightly pink, and seriously shiny for that your-nails-but-better result, and it even has a pretty rose scent.
Consider your summer hostess gifting solved. Molton Brown Comice Pear & Wild Honey Fine Liquid Hand Wash, $28, smells like a fruity dessert and comes adorned with a sweet little bow. It will freshen up any bathroom or kitchen sink, and make every recipient smile. (Pair with a bottle of local honey and some heirloom pears for bonus points.)
The only thing better than Nars Blush? Nars Liquid Blush, $30. Orgasm, Dolce Vita, Luster and Torrid are now available in liquid form. They're seriously pigmented and offer slightly more coverage than most liquid blushes out there, yet the finish is almost stain like. And they're equally gorgeous over foundation or bare skin.
The cult favorite French beauty brand Bastide is back and better than ever. There are perfumes, candles, hand washes, hand and body lotions and so much more coming out in future months. The packaging is beautiful in shades of millennial -- I mean Provencal -- pink, and everything is made by artisans in the south of France. It's basically impossible to choose between the rose, neroli and amber scents because they're all so good. I want it all, but I'm starting with the classic Bastide Artisanal Provence Soap, $20.
I'm a sucker for almond milk everything -- ice cream, smoothies, popsicles, I love them all. Naturally, I was intrigued by almond milk hair products -- especially after I smelled the vaguely sweet new collection from Carol's Daughter. For me, the standout is the Carol's Daughter Almond Milk Ultra Nourishing Hair Mask, $14, which contains almond oil, almond fruit extract, aloe and shea oil. It's incredibly nourishing and repairs damage without weighing down my hair. And the delicious scent lasts all day.
