As the acquisitions editor, I receive endless emails informing me of all the latest and greatest product launches. And sometimes, products are so unique and niche that I don’t have a perfect place to include them. One of my favorite parts of our writing and production Shopping Skimm The bulletin is that I can make a “bag” by combining all the fun sections. Think of this summary as the long version. Note: Some of these products have been around but are new to me.
Jellycat collection inspired by summer…
I believe Jellycats are a wonderful gift for all ages – even adults. The May gathering feels happy and summery with the spinning sun (a must), the sweet pelican, the happy crab, and the sweet manatee. Give them to any and all children in your life or keep one on your bookshelf.
A luxurious body cream that would make a wonderful gift…
If you’re running a little late on your Mother’s Day gift, may I suggest this new Geranium Rose Body Cream from Augustinus Bader? It hydrates, locks in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier. It’s perfect for the mom or friend who has just about everything (and she’ll never think to buy one for herself).
A new red stick on the block…
Jones Road Beauty, Bobbi Brown’s latest venture, just dropped these Blushing Sticks. I love them because they have buildable coverage so you never have to worry too much about accidental application.
A hand cleansing mist from a brand I’m obsessed with…
I’m late to the party, but I’ve been loving Paume’s hand care lately. The brand has launched this mist version of its hand cleansing gel. It’s perfect to keep in your bag or car and I love how relaxing the scent is. buy the Hand Serum Renewal while you’re at it for the softest hands ever
The easiest way to use a scalp serum…
I usually forget to include scalp serums in my routine because I find the whole experience so tempting. I find that the serum gets everywhere except where I want it and then I end up wasting product. This new serum pen from Vegamour has small rollers that help to hold and massage in just the right amount.
The striped t-shirt I can’t get my hands on…
When this oversized t-shirt from Free People popped up in my feed, I knew I needed it for spring and summer. It’s comfortable but not too baggy and perfect for days when I don’t know what to wear but I want to feel put together. I love the contrast piping on the sleeves too.
Another graphic tee that makes me feel good…
Ever since Jennifer Lawrence and Sabrina Carpenter were spotted in Junk Food outfits, I’ve had my eye on them. Each one has the perfect broken-in, vintage feel (even though they’re brand new). This is the easiest piece to wear with denim shorts.
A gel moisturizer that saves my skin…
This new Skin Jelly from Sofie Pavitt Face is one of the only moisturizers that soothes my skin during perioral dermatitis flare-ups. I get dryness, redness and itchiness around my nose and it’s gentle enough to irrigate without causing more inflammation. Wear it on its own or treat it as a moisturizing serum.
The cookie brand I’m most excited about…
With these oatmeal cookies from Joy Supply, you can have bakery-grade treats at home. Choose from Classic Chocolate Chip, Salted Peanut, Classic Oatmeal and White Chocolate Raspberry. They are thin, crispy and made from whole ingredients. Bring them to your next housewarming party.
A guidebook that is not intimidating to use…
I can’t wait to get my hands on this Sonsie x No Particular Order collaboration this summer. These instructions are inspired by Pamela Anderson’s “7 Rules of the Garden” and how you can usher in the new seasons. It is compact, fits in most bags and comes with 49 instructions.
And a durable magazine with bright colors…
Anecdote Goods has been around for a while, but I’ve recently incorporated their magazines into my daily routine. I love how shiny the fabric covers are – so they never get lost in my bag – and they’re durable enough to withstand trips, spills, smudges, you name it. Choose from lined and dotted pages.
The SPF Skin Color That’s Going Viral…
When I saw Abbey Yung write about this product from Ciele Cosmetics, I knew I had to try it for myself. Tint & Protect is a skin tint serum that gives you a glassy skin effect. It has buildable coverage and I love that it has SPF 50+. I could always do with one less step in my skincare routine.
A portable fan from Dyson during the summer…
It’s a good year to be a hot girl. Dyson has just launched its HushJet, a small cooling fan that you can take on the go. It’s quiet yet powerful, and because it’s so sleek, it’s easy to keep in your bag. In addition, it works for up to six hours on a single charge.
Some low-rated nipples…
I was recently reminded of my love for these nipples from Nippies. You can shop the brand on Amazon (so they’ll arrive quickly for an upcoming event) and I love that they come in a range of sizes and leather colors. My favorite detail: the lifting tabs to ensure everything stays in place.
Bath water for period from Flewd…
I always keep a stash of these bath tubs from Flewd on hand. I love them for exercise recovery, stress, or general aches and pains when I’m sick. The brand has just launched these Cramp Deleting Tablets, which are packed with vitamins B1 and B6 and magnesium to help reduce period-related pain.
A comfortable pair of Mary Janes for every occasion…
I don’t think I’ve ever missed a pair of Roti shoes. The brand’s new Cruiser line might be my all-time favorite, as the insoles are more cushioned and cloudier than ever. I can’t stop wearing these Mary Janes; they look great with everything from dresses to jeans. Use code THESKIMM20 at checkout for $20 off your first $100+ order.
The place to find designer home accessories at bargain prices…
If you’re like me and constantly change your space, then you need to know about this collaboration between Jonathan Adler and Michaels. You can do everything from design craft kits to decorative pillows at a fraction of the cost of Adler’s own handwriting.
A solid ice roller replacement…
Dermaflash has just released the Dermaflash Cool, a facial massager with copper technology that freezes in seconds, so you never have to refrigerate it. It makes your face def, sculpted and cool. Most of all, I find it relaxing and soothing in the mornings.
Solid matcha powder for beginners…
Since I moved in two years ago, I’ve been upgrading the matcha setup in my house. I learned a lot about all kinds of teas and tools to make a good latte. I recently tried the More Than Matcha blend from the brand’s relaunch and it’s nutty, refreshing and not too herbal. If you want to try a high quality basic printing powder, go for it.
The best peanut butter I have ever tasted…
One Trick Pony Peanut Butter is the smoothest you’ll ever try. I like to put it on yogurt and oatmeal. The packaging is also unique; the lid actually sits on the base of the jar, so you don’t have to constantly stir it.
The Carrying Case I Didn’t Know I Needed…
I have praised before About The Flat Lay Co.’s practical yet spacious decorative bags and pouches. Because they are geniuses, they just launched this To-Go case. It’s the perfect little one to keep in your purse or car to hold makeup, hand sanitizer, or other small essentials.
Paper plates that look like beautiful china…
Table Two Studio is a brand new to me and perfect for summer fun. They make designer tiles in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and I love that they look luxe with minimal effort. They also make for a fantastic gift.
A pair of sunglasses that look a lot more expensive than they are…
With the warmer weather almost here, I’m back to remind you not to forget the Quince sunglasses. This new pair has a nice oval silhouette and reminds me of Le Specs. The best part? They are only $50.
