Shop Poosh-approved summer essentials below.
1. A glossy lip balm that your hair won’t get stuck to every 5 minutes
Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Lip Balm
Price: $24
This chic balm smells so summery (think: subtle notes of watermelon and vanilla), and is ultra-moisturizing with a blend of shea butter and rosehip oil. The gel-balm texture has a glossy finish that miraculously isn’t super sticky.
2. An organic wellness-shot rotation that supports your system on the go
Suja Organic Daily Shots Variety Pack
Price: $109.99
This liquid lineup supports your immunity, digestion, and energy with ingredients like 1B CFU probiotics, ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, vitamin C, and adaptogenic reishi.
3. An overnight reset for dry hands and feet
Paume Hand & Foot Rescue Bundle
Price: $91
Before you slip into your comfy bed, slather on this overnight hand and foot mask plus the accompanying cuticle cream. For extra credit, lock in the ultra-nourishing ingredients (like squalane, panthenol, and shea butter) with the included gloves and socks and leave on overnight. You’ll wake up with softer hands and sandal-ready heels.
4. A shot of genius for your neurons
BrainJuice Classic 2.5oz
Price: $53.88
This liquid brain supplement comes in a shot size that hits your brain with a kiss! Classic 2.5 oz contains 100% natural superfoods, vitamins, and amino acids, plus organic green tea leaf caffeine to give your brain the daily boost to help with focus, memory, mood, concentration, and reaction time.
5. A coffee that combats brain fog without the jitters
BrainJuice House Brew

Your daily java brew with benefits! Boost your mood and nervous system with natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that support brain health, boost brain attention, and power you for the day without sugars, synthetics, or artificial ingredients. It includes a 100% natural choline complex for acetylcholine production, plus L-theanine and much more. Also, it gets your dopamine production flowing.
6. A luxe ride that will get you wherever you need to go
Blacklane Car Service
Price: $PENDING
Take (some of) the chaos out of traveling by booking one of these chic chauffeured cars. No surge pricing, no surprises, no driver trying to talk to you about crypto … we think that’s called living the dream.
7. A heatwave-ready curl brush
Conair Curl Define Pro Brush
Price: $19.99
This brush helps you get smooth, defined curls… even when it’s hot and humid outside. Plus, it helps cut down on drying time, so you can spend more time flirting with that hot bartender and less time styling your hair.
8. A de-puffer that’s also a lifesaver if the AC goes out
Contour Cube
Price: $25
Heat, allergies, and sodium-heavy BBQ feasts are just a few of the reasons why you may notice your face looks puffier than usual during the summer. This affordable, reusable ice facial tool can help. It helps de-puff, reduce inflammation, and boost circulation. Plus, it feels so refreshing on hot days.
Daybird 4-in-1 Serum Skin Tint
Price: $40
A tint, serum, moisturizer, and SPF all in one. This lightweight hybrid evens skin tone, hydrates, protects, and adds a natural glow. A must-have for your makeup bag.
10. A serum to help prevent skin freakouts
Mirabella Beauty All-In-One Clarifying Serum
Price: $58
Summer breakouts? Not on our watch. Formulated with four exfoliating acids, this micropeel helps make sure that your lineup of fun summer activities—swimming, traveling, drinking rosé on a cute patio, etc.—don’t clog up your pores.
11. A hair oil that won’t weigh you down
Kerastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops Anti-Frizz Hair Oil
Price: $36
These ultra-lightweight glaze drops fight frizz, add shine, and smooth flyaways without weighing your hair down. Humidity? We don’t know her.
12. A do-it-all face mist
Lumion Miracle Mist
Price: $28
It’s summer, and we’re gonna sweat (even if we’re not in Pilates class). This mist is a game-changer for keeping skin clear. It purifies, hydrates, cleanses, and calms skin—plus, it’s easy to throw in your beach bag for on the go spritzes.
13. A sleep climate control system disguised as really soft sheets
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set
Price: $330
Sticky, restless nights spent tossing and tangled in our sheets is so not the vibe this summer. That’s why we’re upgrading ours to these worth-the-splurge ones made from bamboo viscose. Thanks to its naturally porous, breathable structure, it helps pull moisture away from your skin and lets air flow freely so you can get your zzzs sans the sweat.
14. Slim-fit tees that go with everything
Pointelle Slim Fit Tee 2 Pack
Price: $140
At once sweet and sexy, these super soft pointelle tees were inspired by classic lingerie details—pinhole stripes, eyelets, and scalloped edges. They add a little something-something to any outfit… and trust us, you’ll wear them with everything.
15. Kinda sexy compression socks for air travel and beyond
Heat Healer Air Socks
Price: $60
A chic travel essential you’ll actually want to wear. These compression socks help reduce swelling and boost circulation, keeping your legs feeling fresh, not flight worn.
16. A yummy snack packed with plant protein
Brami Lupini Beans Snack Variety (Pack of 8)
Price: $35
These high-protein beans (12 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber per 100 calories!) also happen to taste delicious. The entire Poosh team is hooked.
