Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Hair Rollers
20K+ bought in past month

This viral hair hack has become a holy grail for one WWD Shop editor. It’s also the gold standard of heatless curlers, due to its user-friendly application and satin lining that’s gentle on fine or damaged hair. If you’re skipping hot tools this summer, this sleep-in blowout shaper will be a game-changer in your glam routine.

Editor testing and review notes: “The hype is real with this product. As someone who regularly styles their hair, and is focused on healing my tired, color-treated mane, I will never go without this sleep-in rod. It takes me about five minutes to twist my hair around it and it’s so comfortable that doesn’t interfere with my essential beauty sleep. I find it works best on dry hair, though the satin rod works great on damp strands too, as it won’t absorb any moisture, and, in a handful of hours, results in a genuinley healthy shine.”

5K+ bought in past month

Not a hair dryer brush nor a curling iron but somewhere right in the middle is the Wavy Talk Thermal Brush. This viral TikTok discovery smoothes and curls dry hair in a matter of seconds for a quick blowout look, and comes as a full kit with handy sectioning hair clips.

Editor testing and review notes: “Okay, I’m sold on the Wavytalk Thermal Brush. After months of seeing it on my FYP, I finally tried it despite my tried and true arsenal of hair styling tools. It actually fills a gap in my rotation, where it can create an instant blowout on air-dried hair (my preferred method of hair drying) or quickly reshape my curtain bangs. And, with a simple twist of the wrist, it can even make a full head of voluminous ringlets that last all day. I can tell this will be a secret weapon for travel when I’ll need just one, simple tool to refresh my strands.”

L’Oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Waterproof Mascara

#3 Amazon Bestseller in Mascara
10K+ bought in past month

Waterproof mascara is essential for summer, so you might as well stick with an iconic formula you can rely on. This one is a mainstay in the professional makeup kits of celebrity artist like Mario Dedivanovic for its pitch-black pigment and volumizing wand.

Editor testing and review notes: “The formula is richly pigmented, requiring fewer coats to achieve a dramatic lash look, but it’s the wand and bristles that this tester adored. Ultra-soft, densely-packed bristles grab lashes without too much handiwork required, and the slim wand makes it simple to target lashes on the inner and outer corners of your lash line. Because the bristles are so dense, we recommend wiggling the wand close to the lash line for an even, fully-fanned out result.”

This body lotion caused zero irritation and redness, and I love it as a summer swap for my typically thick winter moisturizers. It glides on and absorbs so smoothly, and even acts as a great base for applying self tanner on top. It’s a great value for the price — I’ve used it for over two months and I still have plenty of product left to enjoy.”

Acure Brightening Facial Scrub

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Facial Scrubs
20K+ bought in past month

No skin care routine is complete without a weekly exfoliator to slough off dead skin and achieve a deep clean. Acure’s Brightening Facial Scrub is a bestseller for its gently and natural formulation of detoxifying sea kelp, refreshing lemon peel, brightening Madonna lily, and purifying French green clay.

Editor testing and review notes: “For years I was under the impression that I’ve discovered a hidden gem — but little did I know that this scrub was an all-star among beauty lovers on Amazon. It’s my go-to when my skin’s looking tired and dull. It applies gently, but not too gently where it feels like it’s barely scraping the surface, and leaves my skin feeling so smooth and looking bright. I often mix it with my favorite face cleaner when I want a more gentle exfoliation, too.”
