EDITOR'S NOTE
Not a coincidence: Record-breaking temperatures across the US and our launch of Heat Week. No, we’re not in cahoots with an Etsy Witch or a Concierge Event Meteorologist. (As a 2026 bride, I recently learned that both are a thing.) That aside, there’s a lot going on this week, so let’s get into it…
Sephora’s Major Summer Deals Event. Get up to 50% off select products — Beauty Insiders get an extra 500 points when they spend $75. Use code PLUSPOINTS.
Just in time for scorching hot days, Rhode’s new Glazing Mist is here.
Bachelorette alum and author, Hannah Brown, tells us about the products she can’t live without.
Also popping up in our group chat: this vacation-wear collection from Cupshe.

RoseSkinCo. Summer Sale
Save up to 15% off sitewide and 30% off its Lumi IPL device with code SUMMERSMOOTH.
Earlier this week, our Senior Editor was talking about how game-changing an at-home IPL device is for this time of the year, especially if you hate shaving your armpits or bikini line on repeat. IPL is similar to laser hair removal, but it’s safe and easy enough to do at home. RoseSkinCo.’s Lumi IPL device is handheld, targets hair at the root, and then destroys it without burning or irritating the skin. If used consistently, you can see results in just three weeks. Through the end of the month, save up to 15% off sitewide and 30% off the device with code SUMMERSMOOTH.
Three Totally Random Things
Here are three random products we’re loving this week:
Merit’s The Summer Set
Everything you need for the ultimate no-makeup makeup look. Plus, get a free canvas carryall bag with your set purchase.
Skims Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra
One of the most comfortable underwire bras we’ve tried.
Free Assembly Tiered Mini Dress
It’s giving J.Crew at Walmart prices.
Take Note
If you would rather not repeat the insanity that was '90s mall culture with your teen, check out Cash App’s Teen Debit Card. It has no hidden fees, complete parental oversight, and beginner financial tools just for them. They’ll have a secure place to instantly deposit their allowance, while keeping track of savings as they set their own goals. No Cher Horowitz-level shopping habits here.*
(Not So) Silly Little Treat
In our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, Skimm’rs share the joy-sparking products they’re buying during the week. Today’s submission? Hand-care galore:
“My hands and nails have been dry and damaged from gardening this summer. J.R. Watkins Hand Cream and Onsen’s Nail & Cuticle Conditioner Serum paired together every night on both my hands and feet have been a game changer! My nails are shiny and strong, and my skin is now moisturized. Plus, the hand cream’s lemon scent is amazing.” —Melissa Vliem, 41, Michigan
