We’re almost halfway through the year, so we’re taking a look back at all the things Skimm’rs couldn’t stop adding to cart in the last six months. Including the easiest at-home teeth-whitening kit and the bestselling blush everyone loves, these are the overall favorites you won’t want to miss.

It’s perfect for anyone who dreads putting on lotion or cream at the end of the day. PS: Use code SKIMMFAVES15 until July 21 for 15% off your first purchase. ($12+, Kate McLeod)
