Skimm Shopping

EDITOR'S NOTE

As a Commerce Editor, I spend a lot of time taking inventory of the things I actively reach for and lately, I’ve had a lot of luck. So many of my go-tos are high quality, enjoyable to use, and don’t exceed $30. In this economy, I’m genuinely thankful for that. Here are my five favorites as of late:

This soft, stretchy tee from Gap. I have it in butter yellow and a striped version. I can confirm it doesn’t get scratchy or stiff after washing.
These Repetto-inspired blocked ballet heels from…Walmart? More on this later, but I’m shocked. Will probably wear them to my bridal shower.
A hydrating hand sanitizer that makes freshening up on the go feel luxurious.
My new holy grail hair product. It’s $12, hydrating, and gives my waves the best frizz-free air-dry of all time. Consider me converted (the travel size is $5).
A mini version of this TikTok-viral blush compact. It’s cheaper than the full size and will last just as long.

Ali’s Picks

Our Senior Commerce Director is sharing three products she’s loving this week:

Knix Leakproof Seersucker One Piece: I wore this on my vacation in Mexico last week and felt (and looked) svelte.
Verloop Stripe Raffia Beach Tote: This expertly held my sunscreen, sunglasses, book, phone, wallet, hat, and more. It’s also frickin’ adorable.
Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50: This zinc-based sunscreen kept me totally protected. I paired it with this face sunscreen and this genius applicator.
