Just Took Plan B? Here’s When Your Menstrual Cycle Will Return to Its Natural Rhythm

You may notice a (harmless) period delay.

I saw a meme the other day that said something along the lines of “damn, June didn’t even stop to talk to us,” and it perfectly captured how insanely fast time is flying by. Most times, I barely know what day it is, so I’m still trying to figure out how we’re already more than halfway through summer. Nonetheless, the beauty editor in me—no matter how foggy and fast life gets—will always keep stock of new launches that hit my desk.

I may not remember what I had for dinner last night, but I for damn sure can remember all the cute new products (looking at you Rhode Pocket Blush) I marvel at while I work. You know, the ones I gush about to my friends when I finally text them back. These past few weeks I’ve come across a ton of new favorites: sexy fragrances (oils and sprays) to help on my quest of finally getting complimented for smelling good from strangers; at-home nail and lash innovations that have saved me time and cash; and lots of makeup and haircare that have made getting ready (and feeling good) easy and fun.

So, before we blink and it’s December, I needed to come here to tell you about them now, so you get the most out of these recent launches while summer’s still hot. Read along for my editor-approved beauty picks I’ll be using to the last drop this season.

Briogeo Style + Treat Hair Styling Sleek Stick — $23.00

I basically live in a slick top-knot bun when it’s hot out. While I typically use a styling pomade and edge control, it’s been nice to have this stick in rotation. I apply it directly to my spiky edges and use a dense brush to slick my hair back. I love that I don’t have to worry about getting gel under my nails and all over my hands when trying to do my hair. It also doesn’t get crunchy or goopy so it holds up well.
