Looking To Treat Yourself? Check Out Our Summer Essentials Guide - Stripes Beauty

Summer is full of gift-buying occasions — Father's Day, graduations, kids' birthday parties. But how about some picking up a little something for yourself? After all, you're worth celebrating, too.

And if you need a little inspo to treat yourself, we've got you, with some of our favorite picks to make this summer your coolest/ comfiest/ most fun yet. 

Frankie4: Drew Sneaker

"Cute summer shoes" doesn't have to mean flip-flops with zero support, or high-heeled espadrilles that make your feet ache. Frankie4's Drew sneakers are stylish and comfy, designed by a female podiatrist to support posture and spinal health — and they can be instantly customized for wide, narrow, or standard feet.

Supergoop!: Glow Stick SPF 50

 

Lots of us skimp on the SPF due to an uncomfortable truth: many sunscreens feel slimy, sticky, or just unpleasant on your skin. Supergoop is dedicated to changing that, by making feel-good sunscreen that fits into your daily beauty routine. The Glow Stick is a dry oil sunscreen for face, chest and shoulders that you can take on the go — and not only will it go on without any grease or stickiness, it will actually accentuate your glow.

Caddis: Milos x Lisa Andersen Reading Glasses

These are Naomi's favorite reading glasses, and it's easy to * see * why — they don't just help with your vision, they help you express your style, too. CADDIS is the anti anti-aging brand — they believe it's absolutely right on to be the age we are, right here and now.

Rothy's: The Lightweight Tote

 

This roomy tote isn't just incredibly stylish — it's made from recycled materials, just like all of Rothy's chic shoes and bags. Saving the earth AND carrying around all your beach stuff — now you can check two things off your summer to-do list!

Stripes: The Cool Factor

Hot summer weather can be a LOT to deal with — especially if you're also dealing with hot flashes. The Cool Factor blends hyaluronic acid, skin-balancing Edelweiss flower extract, and a stimulating mineral blend into an ultra-hydrating mist specifically created to soothe perimenopause and menopause symptoms. It can also help dull, dry skin look dewier.

Wander + Ivy: Single Serving Wines

How many times have you uncorked a bottle of wine for a summer picnic or BBQ, only to watch most of it go to waste? Wander + Ivy was created to combat this issue, with a line of single-serving premium wines sourced from award-winning organic vineyards around the world, served from stylish glass bottles.

Westman Atelier: Lit Up Highlight Stick

In all the heat and busyness of the summer, a full face of makeup may be the farthest thing from your mind. The Lit Up Highlight Stick — created by leading editorial makeup artist Gucci Westman — helps you get the most done with the least amount of makeup, providing an all-around glow with its translucent gel highlighter. The result is a lightweight, dewy finish that won't feel stifling in the heat — a finish achieved without silicones, parabens, PEGs, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances.

Peter Thomas Roth: Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches

If you're looking to reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles AND cool down, pop these detoxing eye patches in the fridge before you put them on. The result will not only nourish and hydrate your skin — it might actually help you beat the heat.

Hot & Bothered: What No One Tells You About Menopause by Jancee Dunn

Journalist Jancee Dunn dives into everything you wish someone had told you about perimenopause and menopause — from actionable ways to help improve sleep, sex, moods, skin and more, to the history of HRT, to all the ways activists are fighting to create more menopause-friendly workplaces. Funny and fascinating, this is a book you'll want to pass on to everyone else at the pool when you're done.
