Sisley Paris Lip Oil "Red lips will always be sexy, but I'm giving that classic look the Summer off and opting for a lighter option that won't stain my iced coffee straws. This rosy topcoat ($55) makes my lips look HUGE, but in a natural way that fits this post-Kylie's-filler world we now live in. Plus, I've been told it feels amazing to make out against, so there's that." — Alaina Demopoulos, junior writer, Beauty
Chantecaille Cheek Gelee "First, let's start with the shade name: 'Happy.' It's impossible to not feel confident in the face of such marketing. I'll admit, I've suffered through some less-than-sexy looks courtesy of streaky powder blush. This liquid version ($44) is easy to use, so there's no second-guessing how great it makes you look. Also I should note that it gives off a rosy flush that makes you look like you just had an orgasm, so: sex." — AD
Herbivore Rose Quartz Illuminating Body Oil "Whenever I wear this, the men in my life — my boyfriend, my super, my coffee cart guy — comment on how much it makes me sparkle. Something about this highlighter ($48) just demands attention. Along with how it makes you look like a 'princess' (in the words of my coffee cart prince), it helps hydrate dry skin." — AD
Krigler English Promenade Perfume "Audrey Hepburn wore this perfume while shooting Roman Holiday, the movie that made her famous. Gregory Peck, her costar and a hottie for all ages, said in a famous interview at the time that she smelled amazing. Need I say more?" — AD
Derek Lam 10 Crosby Drunk on Youth "Derek Lam 10 Crosby Drunk on Youth ($85) makes me feel confident and attractive with one spritz on my wrist. It's light enough to wear during the day and smells freshly of honeysuckle and apple. Since it came across my desk, it has become a near daily way to boost my mood." — Sarah Siegel, assistant editor, Beauty
Ardell Wispies Lashes "Whenever I want to up the glam in my beauty look and feel super sexy, I pop on a pair of Ardell Natural Demi Wispies ($8 for a pack). The lashes are longer on the outside corner, giving me a cat-eye look." — SS
Dermablend Leg and Body Cover "If I'm going out and showing a bit of skin, I love to slather Dermablend Leg and Body Cover ($34) on my legs as a final step in my routine. It covers the many bruises that come with being a klutz and gives my legs a subtle gleam. It makes me feel a lot better about a part of my body I'm not always confident about." — SS
Bite Beauty Lipstick "A while ago, I had a custom lipstick shade ($26) created at the Bite Beauty Lab, and whenever I swipe it on, it's like an instant confidence booster. I don't wear lipstick often, especially dark shades, but there is just something about a deep red that's so timelessly sultry." — Stephanie Nguyen, native editor, POPSUGAR Shop
Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Toasted Sugar "Nail polish might be a minor detail, but the right color makes all the difference. The Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Toasted Sugar ($37) is the perfect nude shade — it's understated but elegant and elongates and accentuates my fingers in such a way that I ALWAYS get compliments from strangers." — SN
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino "Whenever I wear Tom Ford Nerolio Portofino ($145), I get told I smell ah-mazing. Given I wear it every day, I've gotten used to the compliment; I've turned a ton of people into fans. When I wear it, I feel successful and inspired. It's hard to explain, but as a Capricorn, success is sexy as hell to me. Although I've never been to Portofino, it's like a vision board in a fragrance — one of these days, I'll be there on a yacht I've chartered, drinking an Aperol Spritz." — Kirbie Johnson, senior video reporter and host
Glossier Body Hero "Honestly, I fell in love with this lotion and body oil ($35) because it smells like Neroli Portofino. But when you apply it, your skin feels softer and looks glowier than Chrissy Teigen with a Mary Phillips face beat. I love that its pearlesence naturally highlights areas like your shoulders, clavicle, and chest." — KJ
Nars Orgasm Blush "If this name doesn't make you feel sexy, then I'm not sure anything else will, my friend. The OG of blush ($39) is the absolute perfect shade: a pinky flush with a hint of shimmer. I'm into creating an innocent, grade-school flush — the flush you got before you grew up to become a jaded adult — and this one looks natural and chic." — KJ
Ardell Lash Trios "I love to spend money, but a good deal turns me on. Ardell Lash Trios ($5) are the best in the land, don't get it twisted. They might be $4, but they're lightweight, look natural, and can turn my eyes into the glamorous bedroom eyes of my dreams." — KJ
It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Hydrating Color Awakening Lip Treatment "This lip balm ($24) is the equivalent to a sexy makeout session — seriously. It adjusts to the warmth of your body and gives your lips a naturally 'flushed' pink tone that looks like you just finished kissing your boo. I especially love to use this when I am wearing no makeup to make my face look alive." — Aimee Simeon, assistant editor, Beauty
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray "I've always loved the sexy slept-in texture Oribe Dry Texture Spray ($46) creates when my hair is in loose waves. But I really knew it was a winner when sprayed some on after a date with my BF. We cuddled in bed and he dunked his nose into my head, took a sniff, and said, 'Smells good.' Not only did my date-night waves look amazing, but they smelled great. My boyfriend had no problem sniffing my hair to bed that night." — AS
Fenty Beauty Body Lava "Fenty Beauty's Body Lava is bringing me one step closer to becoming Rihanna (thanks, RiRi). The body shimmer gives the skin a nice glow that doesn't look like elementary school body glitter. I will 100 percent be using this when I am on the beach with my boo this Summer." — AS
