Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
I fear my summer of rest and relaxation has ended as quickly as it started thanks to the plethora of fashion and beauty items I’ve found. These outfits deserve an audience, and sitting by the pool alone won’t cut it. The Ciao Lucia x Rixo collab and newest fragrance launch from Phlur have me ready for a night out with my girls, a jaunt to Italy, or wherever the summer breeze takes me. First up on the docket, we have the apparel and accessories that tap into the summer trends I’m most excited about: butter-yellow hues, slinky dresses, and minimalist sandals. Once you attempt to make your way through that list without purchasing everything, you’ll find a few beauty favorites that would benefit any routine: self-tanner that won’t break you out, body wash that transports you to the beach, and the only eye shadow that won’t crease in this heat. Join me in shopping the pretty items below.

I said it once, and I’ll say it again: This is the only eye shadow that doesn’t crease or wipe away in humid weather.
