What Our Shopping Editors Are Actually Buying This Week

I recently started wearing eyeshadow again (after pulling myself from the depths of no-makeup pandemic despair) and absolutely love these shades. My favorite is “Wisteria” which is this gorgeous gray-purple that gives you the best smoky eye, ever. The pigmentation is super high-quality, and a little goes a long way (no need to layer on ten pounds of powder on your eyelids). I also love that this palette is compact and I can easily carry it with me if I need (not that I go anywhere, but the option is nice). -Gina, Affiliate Editor

“I just discovered goimagine — it’s an online marketplace of handcrafted goods (love) but it’s also charitable (double love). First, it gives makers a platform to make an income; second, all profits go to charity, the current organization being Horizons for Homeless Children. Now, let’s talk about these gorgeous bath bombs — they’re almost too pretty to use! Only, they should be used, since they’re made with soothing pink Himalayan salt (plus you should keep buying more since it’s for a good cause). They’d make a perfect gift for a housewarming, birthday, or Mother’s Day, which will be here before you know it (wink, wink).” – Karen, Associate Affiliate Editor

“I’m a firm believer in investing in a few nice products that make you feel extra good about yourself! I recently tried MO MI (short for modern minerals) Balancing Shampoo and Clarifying Conditioner and I love how my hair looks and feels; it offers a deep but gentle clean plus super lightweight conditioning. Their ‘Try + Travel Eseentials’ sets are the best way to see which products you like best, and they’re currently on sale. The icing on the cake is that you’ll also be supporting a female and Asian-American-run business.” – Karen, Associate Affiliate Editor

“I’m a sucker for beauty and skincare products and have been wanting to try K-beauty. So when I heard about VENN Skincare — which streamlines 12-step beauty regiments into a few simple products — I had to try it. As a mom with a mobile 14-month old, my biggest skincare challenge is looking refreshed awake, plus my skin is always dry, so I knew the Concentrated Revitalizing Lifting Mask was the product I wanted to try first. Wow. Just, wow. This leave-on mask is super rich and makes my skin look plump, dewey, and hydrated. And I’ll admit that adding a little luxury to my skincare routine just makes me feel pampered — I look forward to applying it every night! Now, I know it’s a splurge, but think of it this way: It’s a fraction of the cost of a facial and it’ll last you for months. See? Cost validated. ” – Karen, Associate Affiliate Editor

“In a time when a tiny throat tickle can throw you into a panic, I LOVE having a stockpile of Beekeeper’s Naturals on hand. These are natural, bee product-based immunity boosters (that taste delicious!) that soothe symptoms and help prevent sickness. Even better, I don’t feel like I’m over-medicating myself because they’re made with powerful, clean ingredients. Did I mention they’re delicious? My favorite products include the B. Powered Superfood Honey (with propolis, royal jelly, and bee pollen — yes, the real good stuff) and the B. Immune Throat Spray. And the company just came out with B. Soothed Honey Lozenges, which are a definite medicine cabinet must-have.” -Karen, Associate Affiliate Editor

Gyms may be opening back up, but I don’t feel 100% safe yet, and there’s something very comforting about being able to workout from home whenever I feel like it. I’ve been slowly putting together a “gym” of sorts in my guest room. Up until I got the DB Method, I had a rower and some weights, but I knew I wanted something impactful and compact, and I knew I really wanted to work out my butt. After a year+ of using the couch as my office, my butt has understandably lost a lot of its perkiness. Enter DB Method: an easy-to-assemble squat machine that hyper-focuses on your glutes, and all it takes is 10 minutes a day to see results. DB Method’s design is specifically made for tightening and strengthening your butt and thigh area, and unlike using weights for squats, there’s no guessing around if you’re doing it right. The DB Method places you in position and sets you up for success. -Gina, Affiliate Editor

Here for the Burn sells heavenly scented candles with hilarious/relatable labels, like this “Okay Boomer” one that I find super funny and burn with glee. I have “Moroccan Amber” which is has a warm, vanilla base that’s perfect for spring. Burn time is 60 minutes. -Gina, Affiliate Editor

If there’s two things I love it’s a sale and a good jumpsuit — ASOS happens to have both almost always. This denim jumpsuit is super loose, comfy, and I can dress it up or down. (That’s when you know you’ve got something good). I’ve also fully embraced the wide leg trend and have no intension of returning to the struggle of tight jeans.While it’s not on sale, they’ve also got an all black option too! – Amanda, Associate Affiliate Editor
