Created by the master French colorist, this conditioner is just right amount of nourishment that makes your hair feel hydrated without weighing it down.
This formula is more like a balm than a greasy scrub. It makes skin feel silky soft and it has a cooling effect that is divine in the summertime heat.
Orlane Aqua Svelte, $65, available at Beauty.com.
This eyeliner is a makeup unicorn. Even though it's a pencil, it's as soft as gel, and glides on easily and fluidly. You can smudge it as much as you want. And, once it sets, it's not going anywhere. Soft, easy to smudge, and budge-proof? The French really do know what they're doing.
Votre Vu Le Joli Crayon, $16.10, available at Votre Vu.
Notes of peony, Italian lemon, and wisteria make Carven's L'Eau de Toilette the absolute perfect summer scent.
Not all dry shampoos are created equally! Klorane's formula doesn't leave a chalky residue. Plus, its non-aerosol spray top makes it eco-friendly.
The mineral-rich water is perfect for a little post-workout spritz or to set you makeup in the morning. Plus, it's clutch for sensitive skin.
Sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin can be a difficult type to buy cleanser for. But this product works to clear your acne without over-drying, plus it leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
This balm one from Caudalie makes uout lips feel incredibly soft — without having to apply it every five seconds.
Caudalie Lip Conditioner, $12, available at Sephora.
This formula is incredibly light, which makes overdosing nearly impossible, and when applied to dry hair it does the best job at lightly moisturizing, smoothing, and making your hair just feel like your hair, but back when it was healthier. A dab normally does it on my medium-weight 'do, so a tube also lasts a really long time.
Leonor Greyl Éclat Naturel Styling Cream for Dry Hair, $46, available at Nordstrom.
There's a lot to love about this staple drugstore line — especially their signature dry shampoo. Of course, it comes in a full size, but I keep the travel size in my bag to add light texture to ends and to soak up oil and excess product at the root. It's super-light and never leaves my hair feeling dry.
René Furterer Travel Size Naturia Dry Shampoo, $13.50, available at Birchbox.
