Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

We’ll admit it: One major perk of our job as editors is that we get to try out tons of products to let you know if they’re truly worth your hard-earned money. We’re also just avid shoppers, so in the spirit of tossing gatekeeping to the curb, we’re sharing a few standout favorites from the past month that we usually reserve for the group chat. Welcome to the inside scoop.

linen-pants
Old Navy

A pair of linen pants we'll be wearing all summer...

I got these linen pants from Old Navy for the summer. I wanted something loose-fitting and comfortable for hot days when I'm commuting to Long Island to see family, or heading into the office. These are the perfect fit. They have a drawstring waist so I feel like they give me shape, but they're flowy in the legs so I don't feel constricted. I pair them with a fitted tank top so I can keep cool in New York City heat. The ideal summer outfit. —Alexandra Napoli ($32+, Old Navy)

Supergoop!

A sunscreen that can withstand the heat...

I do not leave the house without Glowscreen once summer hits. I love that it gives a nice filter-esque look for days when make-up is not an option — like the beach or recent heat wave — but also provides a lovely base under foundation. It happens to be the item my sister is most likely to "accidentally" throw in her own bag after borrowing. —Abby Drozd ($38, Supergoop!)

t-shirt
Etsy

A graphic T-shirt that gets us endless compliments...

Last year, I got my best friend and myself matching T-shirts for her birthday, and this June I was reminded why it’s probably the best money I’ve ever spent. I love wearing a big T-shirt with bike shorts to grab coffee or run errands, and everywhere I go, people stop me to tell me how much they love this shirt. It’s the perfect graphic tee, since it mixes nostalgia with a pop culture reference with a bit of attitude. We’ve even worn them out to dinner together. The Joey to your Chandler needs this. —Martha Upton (35+, ArtTeeCo via Etsy)

spf
Amazon

Our new favorite daily SPF...

This year, I've been on the hunt for effective, luxurious-feeling skincare from drugstore brands, and it's safe to say it's been a success. My greatest discovery: Byoma, a brand known for its affordable, Drunk Elephant-esque products at a fraction of the cost. I've been reaching for its Ultra Lightweight Face Fluid nonstop this month. It has SPF 50, a hydrating texture, and costs under $20. —Margo Ghertner ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

lip-balm
Finding Ferdinand

A viral lip balm that smells like berries...

I finally got my hands on this viral black lip balm from Finding Ferdinand, and I can confirm it is very much not the pigmented black lipstick of my emo youth. It’s more of a berry shade; sheer, subtle, and not buildable — truly a balm, not a stain or lipstick. It gives your lips a little extra something, and it’s a nice departure from the neutral shades I typically gravitate toward. I also adore the berry scent, which contributes to the overall effect of biting into a fresh, juicy blackberry. —Caroline Goldstein ($26, Finding Ferdinand)

eye-cream
Amazon

An eye treatment that actually works...

I’ve been using the Dark Circle Vitaleyez Treatment for a few weeks and I actually love it. It's so hydrating under my eyes and the cooling tip is the cherry on top. I wear it before bed and wake up with my under eyes looking fresh. I’m always running around and barely sleeping, so anything that makes me look like I got eight hours is a win. It also wears really well under makeup. —Sarai Thompson ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

sheets
Cozy Earth

The Cozy Earth sheets that need no introduction...

After years of sleeping with regular-schmegular bedsheets, I decided to try out Cozy Earth's highly coveted bamboo sheets — and let me tell you, the hype is very much real. My bed feels like a luxurious throne you can only find at five-star hotels. The sheets are buttery smooth, durable, and naturally thermoregulating — and yes, I will be recommending them to everyone I know. —Alessandra Rey ($289+, Cozy Earth)
