Nuface Mini+ Starter Kit

"My skin has never looked better," writes associate shopping editor Sophie Dweck of this multitasking beauty tool. "Forehead wrinkles are gone, cheekbones are chiseled, and skin is lifted and radiant without much effort."

It uses electrical microcurrent to gently tighten and tone facial muscles, like a gym session for your complexion, meaning with consistent use it can provide a more youthful dewier visageā€”a steal at any price, and especially during Prime Day.

Compression Packing Cubes

Get set (jet-set, that is) for travel season with these editor-essential packing cubes. Take it from Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director Roxanne Adamiyatt, who says they saved her during a weeklong trip to France: "Not only did I get my bag to close easily, the double zip compression saved me so much space that I was able to bring along 4 pairs of shoes, and still (still!) have room to do some shopping."

Clarins Natural Lip Perfector

If you're hoping to amp up your lips in a totally natural-looking way, search no further. This your-lips-but-better balm turns up the volume on your natural shade in a way that T&C contributor Lauren Hubbard calls, "nigh-magical."

Need further proof of its effortless, "clean girl" style cred? Kate Middleton has been seen swiping this shade on at Wimbledon for a timeless, minimalist look that's preppy-perfect.

White + Warren Women's Cashmere Travel Wrap

"As T&C's travel editor, I travel a lot, and I never, ever, head to the airportā€”regardless of where I'm goingā€”without it folded in my carry-on," writes Executive Travel Editor Klara Glowczewska. The reason? The multi-use cashmere wrap is not only cozy, it's large enough to use as a blanket on the plane, yet is so light you can fold and wrap it in a myriad of ways without adding bulk to your bag or your outfit, plus it can be worn in nearly a dozen ways to replace a jacket, hoodie, or shawl.

Veja Esplar Sneaker

Dweck calls these sneakers, "very comfortableā€”like, I'm talking comfortable enough to wear at Disney World." A high compliment, and a sentiment evidently echoed by the Princess of Wales. Kate is a long-time fan of the style, and is frequently spotted wearing the look on her more casual engagements, including her 2023 trip to Wales.

Infrared Sauna Blanket

For a dose of spa-like self-care at home, Adamiyatt turns to this wellness gadget that lets her enjoy the sauna experience at a moment's notice. With settings that can ramp up as high as 158 degrees, it allows for a serious sweat sesh that can ease tension, soothe aches and pains, and help with muscle recovery (not to mention burning a few calories.)

"It's the perfectā€”and most relaxingā€”complement to a brisk walk and an at-home workout," she writes. "On Sundays, it makes for a great way to unwind and hit re-set for the week ahead."

Le Specs AIR HEART Sunglasses

In her ongoing quest for The Perfect Sunglasses, Hubbard turned to this pair of updated cateye sunnies that Meghan Markle made popular in 2019.

"The look amps up everything you love about a classic pair of cat eye sunglasses, with an elegant silhouette that flatters every face shape," she writes. "However, this pair takes it up a notch by giving the sturdy, slightly chunky frames extra volume, kissing the line between old school and modern in a way that makes them seem both of-the-moment and timelessā€”think: if Jackie Kennedy was doing 2024 model-off-duty style."

Nori Press Iron & Steamer

This handy-dandy device is not only a must-have for T&C's Roxanne Adamiyatt, it's also a former Oprah's Favorite Things pick. Like the love-child of a hair straightener and a steamer, it allows you to knock the wrinkles out of both sides of a garment simultaneously, no ironing board required.

"This, has been a game changer for me in every sense of the word," Adamiyatt writes. "It's like having an assistant on a photoshoot to ensure that my outfits look immaculateā€”not rumpledā€”except it's a handheld device that tucks away neatly in my linen closet and also fits perfectly in a carryon bag."

New Balance 327 Sneakers

Meghan Markle knows a thing of two about stylish sneakers, so she's been a natural source of inspiration for T&C editors. These, which the Duchess of Sussex started sporting in 2023, have also earned Senior News Editor Emily Burack's seal of approval.

"The sneakers quickly became my go-to for all the leisure activitiesā€”from running errands to walking my dog," she writes. "Basically most times I leave my apartment, I find myself throwing on my 327s. They're easy to slide on, and the subtle platform makes a casual outfit look instantly more stylish."

Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

"I have never been an enthusiastic vacuumer," T&C Articles Director Norman Vanamee confesses. "Now I find myself making routine passes with the Dyson while my canister vacuum sits unused in the basement. My floors have never looked cleaner."

The features he says makes this vac an essential include a light that helps you pinpoint dirt on your floors, ā€œdetangling vanesā€ that prevent shaggy dog hair from gumming up the works, an allergen-busting HEPA filter, and a boost mode that gives it super-charged suction for tough jobs.

AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM

This surprisingly luxe aluminum-free deodorant balm turned Adamiyatt into a natural deodorant convert. "At the end of the day, I'm dry and there's no hint or even the slightest suggestion of stink. Nothing. Not even on my clothes. I noticed this difference almost immediately," she writes.

Along with the effective formulation, she also loves the skin-coddling formula with vitamin E and shea butter, as well as the chic fragrances like Orange Grove, with notes of petitgrain, mandarin, and neroli.

Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Sheets Set + Duvet Cover

For a truly sophisticated sleep experience, Hubbard says Brooklinen's sateen set is "the only sheets that have graced my mattress for years."

Made from 480 thread count of long-staple, OEKO-TEX certified cotton, she says they are soft and cool straight from the package and "wash upon wash, that smoothness only became more silky and comfortable, while still maintaining their shape."

Briogeo Scalp Revival Buildup Detox Spray

To keep her scalp feeling fresh, comfortable, and flake-free between washes, Dweck says she's "obsessed" with this spray. A pre-wash exfoliating treatment packed with charcoal, AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, plus hyaluronic acid, and tea tree oil, she explains it, "leaves my hair squeaky clean with not a fleck in sight and creates a clean canvas for the week ahead."

Loftie Smart Alarm Clock

Developed by sleep scientists, this "little life changer" as Adamiyatt calls it, is designed to soothe you into a deep slumber then gently wake you up so you roll out of bed well-rested and refreshed. Complete with a range of relaxing sound options to lull you to sleep, as well as modes for soundbaths and meditation, it also features a two-phase alarm that can be controlled from your phone, so it's easy to plan ahead.

"It's a small change, but a change that has made a remarkable difference in my life," she writes. "As far as I'm concerned, this little alarm clock will be on my bedside for life."

TheraGun Sense Percussion Massage Gun

With five massage settings and four different heads to choose from, this highly customizable percussion massager, complete with a built-in biometric sensor and guided routines, has become Dweck's go-to for easing away aches.

"Just a few minutes with this bad boy completely reduces tension and loosens the muscles, so I'm not walking around or sitting feeling rigid," she writes. " It's a quick and convenient way to provide instant relief, and gosh, does it feel good tapping against my muscles."

Living proof Dry Shampoo Perfect hair Day

After years of searching a dry shampoo that could deliver fresh, salon-worthy hair without having to wash and style ever day, Hubbard says this version is the "one, just one, dry shampoo that truly holds my heart." The talc-free formula contains a special ingredient that prevents a white cast, and adds just a hint of subtle grip with making hair feel gunked up by product.

"There's rarely a time when my hair doesn't feature at least a light spray of this shampoo, and it's never looked better. If that's not an endorsement we can all aspire to, I don't know what is."

Superga Cotu Sneaker

Another of Kate Middleton's go-to sneakers, these minimalist canvas kicks are also a favorite of Dweck's. "The Cotu is a classic, no-frills tennis shoe," she writes. "Crafted from breathable cotton canvas, the sneakers are minimalist, clean-looking, and so damn easy to wear during summer. They pair fabulously with jeans and tee, but if you want to style them with, say, a floral dress or linen pants? No-brainer. They're timeless and the ultimate casual white sneaker."

WHOOP 4.0 Fitness Tracker

Beyond your average fitness tracker, Adamiyatt says this convenient wearable has helped her tackle stress and sleep issues by helping her become aware of when and how she's pushing her body. It uses baseline data like resting heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels, and skin temp, as well as monitoring activity, strain, and recovery to help you get a better picture of your overall wellness.

"If you had told me a year ago I would be wearing a fitness tracking / wellness device every day I would have laughed in your face," she writes. "The monitor which shows spikes over the day has allowed me to gently implement new practices like taking breaks to do deep breathing or getting up to go for a walk, which in turn has helped me lower my stress levels."

Shark Beauty Shark FlexStyle Hair Blow Dryer & Multi-Styler

"Nothing really gets the job done on my unruly strands quite like this device," says Dweck. The lightweight multistyler can straighten, smooth, and volume and bounce, and much more, and its unique body can twist into an L-shape to be used like a traditional dryer too.

"It's really a game-changer not having to deal with balancing a round brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other to get my strands straight," she writes. "Dare I say it... I think it's the best multi-styler tool on the market for those with thick, curly hair."
