It's no secret that as editors, we're sent tons (and I mean tons) of beauty products. Our universal routines are in constant flux, and even if we like a particular product we try, it rarely—if ever—stays put as a permanent staple within our regimens.

Fundamentally, a product we’re infatuated with that actually works on improving our complexion in one way or another (altleast for me) are often as rare as earthquakes or environmental accidents for us. However, every so often, we do reach the bottom of a certain jar or tube—whether it's due to irrevocable obsession or because we simply didn't find another product that was all that much better. (Some products seem to perpetually fall into the bucket of "meh.") Obviously, we're much more focused on an alternative option.

By now, you've probably surmised we test-drive a lot of beauty products here at Always Chasing Rainbows. From nail polish and makeup to hair and skincare, we're knew-deep in all things new, exciting, and wish list–worthy. That said, due to the number of products we come in contact with, we've become very selective beauty consumers. Within seconds, we can tell if a new hair oil is too heavy, and we're quick to ignore a serum that yields disappointing results.

The good news? We can't wait to spread the beauty gospel to all of our fellow beauty lovers (that's you!) when we do stumble upon a product we love. From there, we'd decide which of those we'd actually buy again because they were just that impressive. Sharing is caring, so just below, you can see the products our editors couldn't get enough of and immediately added to their carts once they arrive at a singular conclusion.

We have an entire laundry list of products we simply can't leave home without, but an especially long one of beauty favorites I can't picture packing in my carry-on without. As such, I scour sites to find the best beauty items. I start early—weeks out—so my online shopping cart is stocked and I'm poised and ready to purchase.

We are sharing all summer beauty-priced picks, from skincare products to cosmetics, to makeup for your makeup bag, in every category at our favorite retailers Sephora, Merit beauty, Nordstrom, Myteresa, body care and fragrance to buy before your next booked vacation. Keep scrolling!

As a beauty editor, I take my summer beauty prep seriously. I mean it, too—researching, testing, and curating beauty products is my passion-which means I love skincare, makeup, and hair care products.

In many ways, the season feels like a fresh start—like we're collectively assembling a supply of beauty products this summer—and I want my beauty routine to reflect that

One of my favorite summer products, this one never fails to make my face look incredible thanks to a combination of moisturizing oil and golden flecks of shimmer. I slather this stuff on for post-beach dinners, date nights, you name it. This summer, my goal is to buy less of them and reconfigure my routine to be more intentional and deliberate.

The only thing left to do is to refresh my at-home beauty collection with summer-appropriate products. I'm talking about things like shimmering body oil, bright lipstick, and natural-looking foundation. You know, my summer beauty staples. And if they happen to be high-end, luxury products, well, I'll gladly make the investment. Ahead, see every beauty product on my summer wish list.

Trust me, keep scrolling down. We're sharing all our picks in every category, from skincare to makeup, hair care, fragrance and beyond, these beauty products will build my summertime routine.
