Skimm Shopping

EDITOR'S NOTE

I’m consistently inconsistent with my manicures. I find that after a long work day (or time off), the last thing I really want to do is sit in the salon chair. That said, I do still care about keeping my nails healthy and clean, which is why I recently added more products to a story I did on no-frills nail-care. Click here to see the entire list of products, but first, check out:

A new beauty brand dedicated to bare nails from the founder of Birchbox.
A hand serum I apply almost every night.
A nail concealer our Senior Editor loves to use in between gel manicures.

Four essentials that are just as cute as they are comfortable

Because who wants to be thinking about their clothes all day? Not us.

🛍️ A ribbed tank with a built-in bra that goes with everything from jeans to gym shorts.*

🛍️ These linen-cotton shorts that genuinely feel like you’re wearing nothing.

🛍️ A pretty handkerchief maxi skirt that does all the hard work for you.

🛍️ A sweatshirt-cardigan hybrid that’s ideal for travel, lounging, or chilly offices.

Free Assembly Smocked Set

A duo you can wear multiple ways (and it’s under $40).

Margo here. As discussed on Tuesday, it’s been a Walmart summer for Skimm’rs. No joke, the products you’re buying on repeat are consistently coming from the affordable retailer, and this striped set is a new favorite of mine. It’s a smocked top and skirt (each is under $20), and I love that you’re basically getting three looks in one.

Today’s Must-Haves

Here are three of the hottest products on the internet this week:

perfume, mosquito repeller, sneaker mules

Gap Fragrances: We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: nostalgic mall brands are oh so back.
Thermacell Fuel-ZoneGuard Base: The hackiest tool for keeping mosquitoes at bay.
PUMA Speedcat Mules: Our editor has worn these shoes every day this week.

Take Note

If you’ve been here a while, you’ll notice we can’t stop talking about Cakes…and we’re not going to anytime soon. The innovative shapewear brand just launched Cakes Lift, a sticky nipple cover that also sculpts and lifts. We love that the tabs are substantial enough to lift larger busts and keep them in place for hours on end. Not to mention, they’re ideal for tricky pieces, like backless dresses or tops with deep necklines. Once you’re done wearing them, rinse them with warm water, let them air dry, then reapply the plastic backing they come with. Bonus points for their three color options and sizing up to a DD.
