1. Conditioning washes

Pureology hydrate Cleansing Conditioner ($34), Living proof curl Conditioning wash ($26), Living proof curl Detangling Rinse ($26), Aveda Be Curly Intensive Detangling Masque ($27) and Aveda Be Curly Co-Wash ($24)
I’ve been washing my wavy hair with conditioner to give it a break from harsher shampoos a few times a week for years, so it’s been kind of cool to see some of the big hair care brands embrace the whole “co-wash” trend as a thing.

When I feel minty, I use Pureology hydrate Cleansing Conditioner ($34), because it makes my scalp minty and tingly (feels so clean!); Living proof curl Conditioning wash ($26) or Living proof curl Detangling Rinse ($26) when I need serious, real-deal intense detangling; or Aveda Be Curly Co-Wash ($24) or Aveda Be Curly Intensive Detangling Masque ($27) when my hair needs a shot of moisture.

Talk about useful guidance on seriously everything! This fantastic tome was probably written with college-age girls and 20-somethings in mind, but I’m sure women of all ages will find something helpful in it.

3. “Strobing”

Clockwise from the bottom left: L’Oreal true match Lumi Powder glow Illuminator in Ice ($12.99), L’Oreal true match Lumi Powder glow Illuminator in golden ($12.99), true match Lumi liquid glow Illuminator in Ice ($12.99), Circa charm Magic hour Illuminating Concealer in 03 medium ($12), flower charm Glisten Up Highlighter Chubby in Honey Bronze ($9.98), and Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Ballerina ($26)
You didn’t hear it from me, but apparently “strobing” is the new contouring, and all I have to say about that is thank GOODNESS.

Basically, it’s extreme highlighting, where you thoroughly place the product on whatever you want to showcase or feature.

Yeah, I’m down.

4. Sleeping masks

Olay Regenerist luminous Overnight Mask ($25.99), Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask ($92), Korres Greek Yoghurt advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial ($45)
I’ve already got an intense skin care mask fetish, so I figured that sleeping masks would just be a logical way to take it a step further. You apply these before bed so they can do their thang while you dream of Johnny Depp circa the the 21 jump street era…

Multitasking at its finest.

5. Essie polish in All access Pass

Essie polish in All access Pass ($8.50)
This dark indigo-ish violet is equal parts moody and fun, and it’s my newest summer pedi crush.
