I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month. I love putting these lists together and sharing the best of the best with all of you! Here are my favorites from the month of May 2026.
May 2026 Favorites
I am a HUGE gummy candy lover so want to try all the brands I can. These are absolutely delicious and come in so many cute shapes and flavors! If you are a gummy candy fan, you must order a bag to try.
I can’t believe I haven’t included these in a favorites roundup yet because they are amazing! Even after loving nearly everything Rhode launches, I still am always skeptical about the efficacy or performance of the products. These patches looked quite gimmicky so I wasn’t sure they would really work well. I used one on a large painful blemish I had and by the next morning, it was nearly gone. Since then, I use them on any stubborn breakouts I have. They have replaced ALL of my pimple patches.
For my early morning walks, I have been wearing this skort to stay cool. It’s cute while also being so comfortable. If you play any outdoor activities like golf or tennis, this is perfect!
Usually I wear the washable silk pajama sets from Lunya (totally worth the splurge!) but decided to try this other fabric for the summer. It is a dream if you are a hot sleeper! They feel so soft but still keep me cool while I sleep.
Another tinted lip balm?? This was my exact thought when I received these. And then I tried them. Immediate 10/10. The texture is silky, smooth and creamy while leaving a nice natural finish on the lips. Nothing too shiny or glassy. Both colors give just enough tint to the lips to wear alone but can also be layered over another lip product.
I’ve shared my LOVE For Dieux Instant Angel over and over so I didn’t think I could love the lighter formula as much. Clearly, I was wrong! Because the Dieux Air Angel formula manages to be just as amazing but in a texture that works perfectly for the warmer months. Though it is thinner in texture, it is still formulated to deliver intense hydration and nourishment which makes it a dream for dry skin in humid climates.
Another Westman Atelier favorite. My love for the brand continues to grow. This is a buildable liquid lip balm that gives really great color payoff while still feeling weightless on the lips.
After using this bag on two major outings this month (amusement park + elementary school field trip) where I needed to bring ALL the things, be hands free and find what I needed quickly, I had to add it to my monthly favorites. There are SO many compartments so it’s easy to organize all your belongings. The best part though is there is a side pocket separate from the interior that was an absolute game changer for needing access to things quickly. The other moms at the field trip were so impressed with this bag that I sent them the link right after we got back so they all could buy one! LOL
I own quite a few pieces from Aurate because they make gorgeous jewelry pieces that I can also wear day to day. These small drop earrings look stunning and much more expensive than they are! Very lightweight and sparkle like real diamonds.
If you don’t want something dewy or anything that leaves a glowy finish, this Sarah Creal cream-to-powder formula is a must try. It is one of the most beautifully blurring formulas I’ve ever tried while still leaving a soft focus powdery finish. As someone who is usually a glowy cheek fan, this has become one of my favorite blush formulas.
I can’t stand a fitted tank when it’s hot out especially if I’m on a walk or doing something active. This cropped tank is so comfy, lightweight and perfect for summer activities. I survived an elementary school trip to an outdoor nature center in 97 degree heat wearing this tank.
The most unique lip formula I’ve tried in a long time. It feels like a lip oil but dries down to a stain that lasts all day long. I love wearing it alone or layering it under another gloss. The finish is natural and the shade Rose is the perfect everyday neutral pink.
I’ll be the first to admit that I did not like this dry shampoo upon first trying it. It has been recommended to me so many times so I had really high hopes. But I hated the way it made my hair feel after the first use. However I was determined to find a way to make it work. I discovered that if I spritzed it onto my fingers and massaged it into my scalp, I got better results. Only 1.5 spritzes is all I need but I’ve never gotten volume at my roots like when I use this! It does help absorb oil but the instant volume I get is insane + it lasts all day.
If you love milky toners, you NEED this toner pads immediately. I love using a toner pad in my skincare routine after cleansing but before I apply my hydrating essences/toners. These are nicely saturated and give the skin an instant boost of hydration. My skin feels plump, supple and perfectly prepped for the rest of my routine.
I shared a few months ago that I was on the hunt for a white midi skirt to wear throughout the summer. I tried a few different brands but ended up loving this style from Madewell! It’s the perfect length with pockets and a lining for additional coverage.
