EDITOR'S NOTE

Hey, it’s Abby. I’m the Affiliate Director at theSkimm and your guest star for today’s Editor’s Note. Two things about me: I’m obsessed with summer and love a global sports moment (World Cup fans, unite). In honor of both, here are the products I can’t stop reaching for:

• These cute soccer shorts. I picked them up on a recent Target run to help me get into the spirit, and I received tons of compliments while bopping around to different watch parties this past week.

• This fancy moisturizer. I just ran out of this replenishing moisturizer (which turned my skin around after a flare-up). Repurchasing immediately.

• Some jelly flip-flops. I live in flip-flops during the summer and had been eyeing this minimal pair from Crocs.

• A graphic tee that’ll serve as a memento. I ordered this to represent my favorite host city. I also grabbed a couple extra tanks while I was at it.

Looking for something between Rhode’s Pocket Blushes and Jones Road’s Miracle Balms at a fraction of the price? Go for Versed’s Everything Balm. It’s a cream blush and bronzer in one that you can apply all over to give you a healthy flush. Our editor even applies it on her eyelids for added definition.

Today’s Must-Haves

Here are four of the hottest products on the internet this week:

• Nair Bikini Cream: Our Commerce Director swears by this drugstore pick instead of paying for waxes.

• Fazit Beauty Team Soccer Collection: The cutest and easiest way to get into World Cup spirit.

• Geometry Stepping Stones Beach Towel: One of our favorite brands just launched this line of printed towels, many of which have printed games like checkers and hopscotch.

• Mejuri Pia Pebble Necklace: A chic gemstone necklace you can wear on its own or layer with your everyday stack.
