Have you tried dermaplaning? Post gave it a go with this starter kit and can vouch that it was easy to use to shape brows, remove peach fuzz and dead skin, and exfoliate, sans nicks or cuts. Simply wash and prep your face, hold the skin taut and use short, downward strokes, following with moisturizer and SPF, for skin care and makeup that goes on like a dream. The starter kit comes with three blades, but you can stock up on extra blade refills for under $8 right now.
Perfect for throwing on under dresses and skirts, these shaping shorts provide control and smoothing in your tummy, thighs and back, with a slip-free silicone strip at the waist to make sure they stay put and don’t roll down.

The “Phoozy” is a protective case for your phone that’s made with the same thermal material used to protect astronauts in extreme temperatures.

“It’s also water-resistant, and even better — it floats if you drop it in water. So if it falls in the lake or pool, no panic,” Post reassures. “It’s lightweight, easy to carry and perfect for summer adventures.”
Post says she's been spotting single-strap sandals with an oversized buckle all over this season, and this leather option is shockingly affordable. Post says she's personally worn these versatile slides with just about everything in her wardrobe, from a bathing suit to a dress and even just jeans and a tee. Thanks to the natural cork footbed that conforms to your foot, the suede insole and some extra cushioning, she can vouch that they're super comfy, too.
Just in time for sunglasses season, these smart solutions will help keep your shades clean and smudge-free all summer. Post learned about the Peeps lens cleaner from a friend and says the two-step tool brushes away dirt and debris and then swipes away oil, fingerprints and smudges with the cloth. In between the more thorough cleans, Post suggests these microfiber cases, which come in a pack of four and protect your glasses with a handy cloth for spot cleaning on-the-go.
This editor-tested lip and cheek stick is unlike anything we had ever tried before, with a jelly-like look and a lightweight, cooling feel. It's available in six shades and is made with vegan collagen to help firm the skin, plus seawater and aloe to keep things hydrated and smooth. Pro tip: Use a brush to apply to cheeks and blend immediately for a natural-looking flush.
