LANCASTER SUN BEAUTY NUDE SKIN SENSATION SUN PROTECTIVE WATER SPF50 ($46.50)

Sun protection is a must, and we’re constantly on the hunt for formulas that both protect our skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays and have a pleasant texture—not an easy feat. Enter this SPF 50 sun-protection water; it’s lightweight and refreshing. It even leaves skin feeling moisturized.

“I like the lightness of this product; sunscreens are typically heavy. We have always wished for one that islong-lasting, has a high level of protection, is invisible and isn’t sticky—and now that wish has come true!”
– MARIE-NOËLLE VEKEMANS, Digital Editor-in-Chief, ELLE Belgium (Wallonia)

SISLEY PARIS VELVET NOURISHING BODY CREAM WITH SAFFRON FLOWERS ($190)

A true joy to apply, this velvety body cream soothes and moisturizes dry skin thanks to saffron-flower extract, shea butter, Japanese lilyturf extract, macadamia and babassu oils and glycerine. Its rich texture melts into the skin for that über-comforting feeling we all love.

“If there is one beauty ritual that matters the most and forces us to connect with ourselves, it’s full-body moisturizing. Sisley Paris Velvet Nourishing Body Cream not only provides skin benefits (it soothes, restores, nourishes and moisturizes) but also smells like orange blossom and honey, which takes the experience to a whole new level.”
– PEDRO CAMARGO, Beauty Editor, ELLE Brazil

LOUIS VUITTON CALIFORNIA DREAM EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY ($310 FOR 100 ML)

We all have a bit of wanderlust right now, but one whiff of this warm, elegant scent—with its joyful mix of mandarin, ambrette and benzoin—will transport you to the Golden State. Close your eyes and you’ll almost be able to imagine you’re there, taking in the beautiful beaches and sunsets…but then open them so you don’t miss out on the sleek pastel bottle.

“Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud has created a complex composition. Its desirability stems from its citrus [notes], and it leaves a woody trail on the skin that stands the test of time, making it much more full-bodied than a simple eau fraîche. Breathtaking.”
– ELISABETH MARTORELL, Beauty Editor-in-Chief, ELLE France

“Fruity but not too sweet, powdery but not in a vintage way, musky but not too dry—this is a perfect example of a ‘grown-up’ summer fragrance that a picky person like me would want to wear all year long.”
– MARIANNA PARTEVYAN, Beauty Editor, ELLE Ukraine

“What’s not to love about the smell of mandarins, pears and musk? It’s like a sunset captured in a bottle.”
– DUNJA DJOKIC, Beauty Editor, ELLE Serbia

A special wand that lifts lashes with one side and adds definition and curl with the other.

“It doesn’t matter what you start out with: Just layer on this full-fat mascara to transform lashes into something rather dramatic. You have been warned.”

“Thanks to its all-in-one formula, this foundation perfects the skin while protecting it from both blue light and pollution. Its key asset, licorice extract, improves the quality of skin, while hyaluronic acid offers 24-hour hydration. Skin is left radiant, luminous, hydrated, flawless and—best of all— completely protected.”
– ARLETTE BARRIONUEVO, Beauty and Fashion Editor, ELLE Argentina

And we can’t forget to mention its lacquered-, polished- and brushed-metal case, designed by Pierre Hardy, which is nothing short of a work of art.

– THÉO DUPUIS-CARBONNEAU, Beauty Director, ELLE Québec & ELLE Canada

Functional and easy to use.

“The flexible plates on this tool up the ante, especially when it comes to thick, curly hair that’s prone to snagging and breaking with traditional straightening irons.”
– MAMTA MODY, Beauty and Health Director, ELLE India

AVEDA BOTANICAL REPAIR INTENSIVE STRENGTHENING MASQUE – RICH ($84)

The key to maintaining a healthy mane lies in using a weekly deep conditioner—like this strengthening and bond-building formula, which harnesses the power of plant lipids. Expect noticeably smoother, shinier and softer hair that’s free of tangles after using this buttery 94-percent-natural mask.

“The entire Botanical Repair line is great, but this product works its magic instantly. I have very fine hair, so a lot of rich masks are too heavy, making it feel flat. This one, however, hydrates and nourishes without weighing my hair down.”
– MARTHE JAKOBSEN, Deputy Editor and Beauty Editor, ELLE Norway

Serious hydration in a lightweight for¬mula that works for all skin types? Sign us up. Add in pomegranate spheres, orange-blossom peptides and macro hyaluronic acid for hydrating goodness as well as refillable, recy¬clable packaging and this moisturizer is a holy-grail contender.

– DINA KABBANI, Fashion and Beauty Editor, ELLE Middle East

ILIA COLOR HAZE MULTI-USE PIGMENT ($46)

This buildable lip and cheek tint feels weightless on the skin while giving it extra nourishment thanks to jojoba, coconut and linseed oils.

And, of course, the formula is vegan and cruelty-free.

“Natural makeup is extremely difficult to formulate, which is why Ilia has [acquired] an incredible following—it knocks it out of the park every time. Dab this cream across your cheeks and lips for a sweet monochromatic flush. It blends softly under the warmth of your fingers.”
– KATIE BECKER, Beauty and Health Director, ELLE U.S.
