We’re all guilty of overspending this time of year. With a vacation here and a new linen dress there, I can hardly manage my finances when good times are to be had. That’s what summer is for, no? But here’s the thing: I still want to shop, and I bet you do too. So I’ve curated a “worth-it” shopping list stacked with products that won’t induce buyer’s remorse. I’m talking under-$50 basics, under-$200 shoes, and new beauty arrivals with rave reviews. Shop my favorite June finds below.

It’s too hot to wear anything other than this right now.

Red Slingback Shoes

Everyone is wearing red ballet flats. Try these instead.

Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit

The most exciting hair launch of the year has finally landed. Trust me—it’s worth every penny.

This facial spray has hypochlorous acid, zinc, and arnica—key ingredients for reducing redness and hydrating the skin.

Prequel

Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum

Polyglutamic acid has outperformed hyaluronic acid in promoting hydration and elasticity, so I’m eager to get my hands on this new serum.

The easiest way to get freckles while protecting your face from the sun.

Wired: The Body Serum

A spray-on body serum is borderline genius.

Molekule

6% Vitamin C Glow Stick

This serum stick has the right blend of stabilized Vitamin C, peptides, and caffeine to hydrate, brighten, and de-puff the skin.
