Feeling nosy? Us too. That’s why we’re revealing the bestsellers Skimm’rs have been buying the past few months. This time around we have lots of skincare and a couple of budget-friendly clothing pieces that are work- and travel-friendly.

While you’re at it, visit our Amazon storefront to browse more of our faves. We’ve got anything and everything you need to live your best life and shop a bit smarter. Let’s get to it…

Eve Lom

The easiest way to reduce crow’s feet…

We can’t tell if we love this new Time Retreat Smoothing Eye Complex cream’s lightweight texture, illuminating and powerful formula, or cooling Zamac applicator more. It uses a blend of Liposome Encapsulated Retinol, Prebiotic Oat Kernel, and Stabilised Vitamin C to target fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Not to mention hydrate your skin and boost its luminosity. PS: Skimm’rs get 25% off with code SKIMM25. ($85, Eve Lom)*

EltaMD

A tinted sunscreen loved by dermatologists…

This EltaMD sunscreen has a base of zinc oxide and is oil-free. We also love that it’s packed with niacinamide to reduce any redness along with its light tint. Wear it under makeup or on its own. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Completely Bare

Something to help you get rid of annoying bikini bumps…

You spend a lot of time, energy, and $$$ to get unwanted hair removed — so why settle for the pesky bumps that come after? This woman-owned company’s pads are packed with skin-loving ingredients to help smooth out your skin in time for your next beach or poolside event. No matter what gender you are or what you do to remove that hair. Psst…use SKIMM15 for 15% off. ($11, Completely Bare)*

Buy it
Cocofloss

Coconut oil-infused floss you’ll be excited to use each night…

This brand is known for its flexible, soft-textured weave that makes it easily able to scrub away plaque and get into those tight spaces between your teeth. Think of the material like an exfoliating loofah, but for your teeth and gums. This eco-friendly, toxin-free floss has aromatic fruit oils and a light coating of vegan wax. Plus, with this pack, you’ll get 32 yards of floss — that’s about six months’ worth in recyclable packaging — so you’ll be set for quite a while. It’s also a great option for kids thanks to its cute packaging that’ll help encourage them to floss each night. ($36/4-pack, Cocofloss)

The teeth-whitening strips you know and love…

To make sure your teeth are pearly white for all your upcoming plans, grab some Whitestrips. This classic whitening treatment promises teeth up to 20 shades brighter in just 22 days, hence why they’ve earned over 66,000 five-star ratings. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Grace & Stella

A pack of eye patches under $25…

These gold under-eye masks are a godsend on mornings after a less-than-stellar night’s sleep. They’re soaked in a serum made with hyaluronic acid, sea moss, and glycerin that feels like a glass of water for your under-eyes, and we see a visible difference in puffiness and dark circles. Bring them along on vacation, too — you’ll want them after your nights out. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A detangling mist that smells like sugar cookies…

One shopping editor swears by this Milk_shake mist for detangling her long hair. It also acts as a comprehensive leave-in conditioner, so you’ll have smoother, softer hair throughout the day, even if you air-dry it. We also love the sweet-but-not-sickly fragrance. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Buy it
Belif

A gel-cream moisturizer that’ll hydrate your skin in seconds…

If you’re looking for a basic, dependable moisturizer, this one is it. It contains squalene, ceramides, and peptides to plump and improve elasticity. It’ll also keep your skin barrier balanced and healthy (which is key in preventing irritation and breakouts). We love to wear this one underneath makeup to provide some extra glow. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The viral sunglasses of the summer…

If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these sunglasses that are a dupe for a popular Celine pair. They’re a retro oval shape with gold detailing, and have a UV lens protection of 400. The best part? They aren’t $550 like the designer pair that inspired them. If you break them, you don’t have to worry. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

A TikTok-viral toner…

It seems like all the skincare girls are using this K-beauty toner these days. It has a high concentration of heartleaf extract that soothes, hydrates, and reduces redness. It’s also safe for all skin types. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

A hydrating lip butter that’s $6…

We’re having major flashbacks with this EOS lip balm from our middle school days. Now, the brand feels a little more elevated and grown-up. One editor recently tried this Intensive Dry Lip Repair Rescue Treatment and was shocked at how well this kept her lips hydrated for a full 24 hours. It’s hypoallergenic, packed with shea butter, and has a light strawberry scent. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The texturizing spray our Senior Writer is obsessed with…

Every time our Senior Writer goes to the salon, her stylist uses a texture spray before curling that creates soft waves, and it has the most delightful coconut scent. She finally had to ask what it was, and it’s this spray from IGK. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

Moon Juice’s cult-favorite magnesium…

If you haven’t tried a sleepy girl mocktail yet, now’s the time. Moon Juice’s magnesium supplement made the recipe famous and — with a combination of melatonin and L-Theanine — promotes falling asleep and staying asleep. Our sleep-averse editor says it’s the best sleep supplement she’s ever tried. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A washable slip dress that’s been the star of wedding season…

With this dress, you don’t have to worry about dry cleaning. It’s made of a low-maintenance mulberry silk that’s soft and thermoregulating. We love that it has a midi-, bias-cut and comes in 21 different colors. Just wash it on the delicate cycle in a garment bag and hang to dry. ($79.90, Quince)

Buy it
Walmart

A button-front midi dress we’re wearing to work this fall…

Yes, Walmart makes some of our favorite dresses for work, and this cotton one is a recent bestseller. The grid-like seaming makes it look super expensive — when in reality it’s just $34. Buy it before it sells out. It’s definitely going to. ($34, Walmart)

Buy it
Walmart

An inexpensive cardigan we have in countless colors…

A cozy cable knit with pockets and large buttons? What more could we ask for in a cardigan? This one sizes up to a 4XL and comes in eight fall-friendly colors. Skimm’rs can’t get enough of this one and we understand why. It’s soft, pairs well with leggings, and isn’t overpriced like so many other cardigans on the market. ($34.99, Walmart)

Buy it
Philips Sonicare

An electric toothbrush that’s upgrading our manual one…

You might be wondering why a $200 electric toothbrush is worth it — and in our eyes, the one-time investment is better than having to keep going back to the dentist for endless treatments. This one from Philips removes up to 10 times the amount of plaque than a manual brush and has a sensor to let you know when you’re brushing too hard. It has four different cleaning modes with three intensities depending on your needs — and if you’re worried about figuring out when to replace the brush head, it’ll let you know of that, too. ($199.96, Walmart)

Buy it
Quince

The linen pants our editor swears by for travel…

In a recent You Asked, We Answered submission, one reader wanted help finding elevated travel pants, and our editor immediately suggested these linen pants. They’re from Quince, come in 11 different prints and colorways, and are under $40. They’re perfect if you’ve been wanting to try the boxer pant trend but don’t want to spend a ton. Our editor also says they’ve held up well after multiple washes, and she’s worn them everywhere from the plane to even the office. She’s wearing them with sweaters going into fall, too. ($39.90, Quince)
