The Weekly Covet: Snoop Our Vanities

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

Body Cream

"Is there anything more decadent than really good, really luscious, kind of expensive body cream in a great looking jar for your vanity? This body cream is both a reminder to take care of skin in these colder months and one to take care of yourself always. The label may say Augustinus Bader but that’s secret code for because I'm worth it." —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

The Lifting Firming Serum

"I am skeptical about lotions and potions that purport to reverse the effects of gravity (sorry), but the new La Mer Lifting Firming serum, which targets jowly sag and ponderous eyebrows with a brew of potent ingredients that plump and refine facial contours, has made a visible difference. My skin looks perkier, more awake, and—dare I say it?—a little bit more impervious to gravity." —April Long, Beauty Director

The Blotting Compact

"This compact from Lalais is ingenious. It contains blotting papers with an adhesive puff that picks them up cleanly and individually so that you never need to worry about transferring finger oils to your face when touching up. I also love the generous sized mirror and sleek white packaging." —April Long, Beauty Director

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

"While I love a good lipstick, when it comes to my workhorse products, it's your-lips-but-better balms that I turn to, and the Brown Sugar shade of this silky balm is my new favorite. It adds un-sticky hydration and just enough color to pump up the volume on your natural lips for a look that works for the most casual circumstances and the most formal as well." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

"I swear by all things La Roche Posay—especially in the wintertime. Right now, I can't get enough of this moisturizer." —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor

24k Gold Serum Intense

"Gold is god on my vanity, and Chantecaille's gold serum has a permanent spot in my routine." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

Le Balm

"As the weather continues to drop, I've increasingly been getting into nourishing face balms. One of my favorites is this little pot of goodness from French beauty brand Bonjout. Enriched with 68 highly-concentrated actives, the smooth (and anything-but-sticky) formula is more than just a face moisturizer. It's a multi-tasker that can be used as an under-eye cream, night cream, post-procedure treatment salve, lip balm, primer, and overnight mask. Oh, and the fact that it comes housed in a slim tub is a big bonus for me because it's packable and travel-friendly." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

The Rich Cream

"When my skin needs a little extra love, Augustinus Bader's Rich Cream gives it that and more. My skin feels more elastic and hydrated after every use." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum

"This is my everyday perfume, it smells so good and looks great on top of my vanity." —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

Polish & Shine Premium Vegan Boar and Nylon Oval Hairbrush

"I take my luscious locks very serious (here's why) and that means upkeep is vital. The bristles on this brush are extremely comfortable and do an excellent job of smoothing out my hair." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

Concentré de Beauté Concealer

"I have recently discovered Gucci beauty, and found it is better to apply with a brush for best coverage. The cute packaging is the cherry on top." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director

Extra Strength Dream Coat Ultra-Moisturizing Anti-frizz Treatment

"A hairstylist in L.A. turned me on to Color Wow's anti-frizz treatment when she was blowing my hair out for an event, and I am now an avid spritzer. I use it the light, non-greasy spray to reduce frizz when styling my curls, or to make a blowout last for days." —Erin Hobday, Executive Managing Editor

Super Serum

"I’m obsessed with Sonsie’s super serum. My skin definitely has a glow after I apply it." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

Stimulation & Rejuvenation Serum, 30ml

"Earlier this month, I was introduced to Gezeiten, a marine-derived skincare brand brand from Germany—and I am hooked. This night-time serum is loaded with biomimetic active ingredients (as in, ingredients that mimic those your skin already produces) that tackle discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, and dry skin. To top things off, it's also loaded with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and marine bacterium ferment extract to boost skin's glow. My skin has never looked better in the morning." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Dr. Marnie's Blemish Control Stick

"The night before a Madonna concert earlier this month, I got an unwelcome surprise: a pimple! I couldn't very well turn up to see the queen in such condition, so I turned to my trusty blemish control stick by New York's Dr. Marnie Nussbaum. Anti-inflammatory ingredients diffused a disastrous situation, and other ingredients like ginger root and macadamia seed oil smoothed over the skin for an airbrushed effect. Reader, I made it through the wilderness, and Madonna was fabulous." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Organic Rose Oil

"I tend to treat my hands savagely. But this organic rose oil from Kure Bazaar is so pretty that lately I have been compelled to use it daily—and my cuticles and nails have never looked better." —April Long, Beauty Director

The Regenerative Serum

"I'm starting off 2024 strong with a brand new skincare routine and the Eighth Day regenerative serum is the center of it. It has a proprietary formula made with platlet-rich plasma designed to stimulate skin cells to heal and repair. After this year, I need it."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Cloud

"A humidifier doesn't technically count as something that goes on one's vanity, but it does go on my bedside table and that's just as—if not more—important. Lest I want my face to turn into more of a dried out husk than it already is, I'll be running this nightly to keep all the moisture I can in my skin and my airways. Plus, it's just about the most attractive humidifier I've ever seen."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Etoile Mitt

"It is a well established fact that some of the softest linens out of France are by Yves Delorme. Recently, I tried its Etoile Bath collection and—quelle surprise!—it is like being caressed by a Guerlain Spa masseuse. Magnifique! For a quick late night wash, I enjoy this bath mitt in Turkish cotton." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
