Most Coveted is a bi-weekly shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
Unfortunately for me (and my finances), my beauty routine requires a switch-up every time a new season rolls around. Fall and winter are all about hydration and skincare that packs a glow. Spring and summer are about prioritizing products that won't melt off my face in the sauna that is New York's subway system. Cream makeup that feels weightless on my skin, bronzing SPF, and my holy-grail face powder from Nordstrom are always first up on the list. Then, I'll make my way over to the essentials I need for summer travel (skincare sets, eye masks, and miniature versions of my favorites). Nordstrom really is that girl when it comes to stocking the best of the best beauty products on the market, so keep scrolling to shop my top picks for the summer.
The Luminous Silk foundation is my holy grail, so naturally, I have to try this new blush launch.
I will not be going anywhere without this bronzing SPF this summer.
Even my dry skin loves the finish of this powder.
New season, new scent of choice.
This new scent has stolen my heart. In true Le Labo form, it's lavender with an edge.
The throw-on-and-go lip pencil everyone needs in their purse.
The only item that will truly wash all that summer sunscreen off.
There's nothing better than the post-sun, post-shower mask situation on vacation.

Vacation strikes again with another glow-enhancing product that also offers protection.
I don't think a cuter (or more efficacious) travel set exists.
My hair inevitably dries out more quickly in the summer (thanks, chlorine), but this mask will come to my rescue.
Summer is about decompressing, and I can't do that without this stress-reducing bath oil.
Normally I can get away with only using a chemical exfoliant, but in the summer, my skin requires something a little more physical. This mask is the perfect blend of both.
I've been using this mask for five years and counting, I attribute most of my summer glow to its ingredients.
Meet the facial tool that cut my trips to my facialist by 50%.
Perfect for all areas that need soothing after a shave.
The longevity of this cream formula makes it worth the heftier price tag.
A stunning new launch from Ilia—and dare I say a new staple in my makeup routine?
The only setting spray to beat the heat.
No grease, no glitter. Just glow.
Because who wants to pack more than one makeup brush in their luggage?
I love this tint for a natural flush on "no-makeup" days.
Doubling up on my SPF is a must. This foundation makes that easy.
Use this as an eye shadow topper, and thank me later.
After using my last Iconic Nude down to a nub, it's time for a replacement.
Trust me—Keep your face out of the sun, and use this instead.
I'll be wearing this baby blue all season long.
The Ziploc bag I was using just won't cut it anymore.
I'm a neat freak, and this travel essential soothes my soul.
