There's no place like home Sin City.
Las Vegas Sphere just announced 'The Wizard of Oz at Sphere' is coming to the iconic venue for an extended run starting Aug. 28.
The immersive experience will take audience members to dusty sepia-toned Kansas with Dorothy and Toto before heading to the vibrant technicolor Munchkinland, poppy fields and Emerald City at all screenings by employing wraparound 360° visuals, vibrating haptic seats, environmental effects and custom scents that bring the film's original 4:3 aspect ratio to Sphere's 160,000 sq. foot and 16K resolution screen.

'Imagine what it would be like to be in a tornado in the Sphere where you've got wind coming at you, you've got scents coming at you, you've got leaves coming at you, your hair is flying all over, you feel as though you are in that tornado with Dorothy, and that's what it's all about,' Sphere President Jennifer Koester told The Hollywood Reporter. 'You're not going to watch a movie, you are going to live a movie. You're going to feel it, to see it, to touch it, to smell it.'
This one-of-a-kind spectacle was constructed using the original 1939 film and source material like schematics, set plans and scores to create an approximately 75-minute cinematic experience that maintains the integrity of the classic motion picture while bringing it to life in a wholly new and groundbreaking way.
As proof of the scale ahead of 'Oz's' Sphere premiere, the venue unveiled a larger-than-life installation where it appears the massive event space crash-landed on the Wicked Witch of the East. Her 50-foot-long legs and 22-foot-tall ruby slippers are paired with a display on the Exosphere featuring the iconic scene where Dorothy's farmhouse nosedives out of a twister and onto the Wicked Witch as seen in this gobsmacking Instagram Reel. Should you find yourself on the Strip, the legs are on display to the general public outside Sphere at the time of publication.
If you can't wait to get somewhere over the rainbow, tickets are available for purchase for all upcoming 'Wizard of Oz at Sphere' screenings on sites like Vivid Seats.

Other Las Vegas Sphere shows
When Dorothy, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow aren't skipping down Sphere's Yellow Brick Road, you can catch Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky's ambitious immersive film 'Postcard From Earth' or U2's 'V-U2' concert film at the jaw-dropping venue on most nights. Both paved the way for 'Wizard of Oz' at Sphere.
That's not all, though.
These next few weeks, country superstar Kenny Chesney has a handful of shows lined up at Sphere.

About the Wicked Witch's legs
While the Wicked Witch's gams appear to have magically materialized under Sphere seemingly overnight, quite a bit of work went into them.
According to a press release, designers spent 500 hours printing, building and assembling the 690-pound behemoth that has be held down by 8,000 pounds worth of sand bags to hold the installation in place. They were created using 1,000 yards of specialty fabric made of a polyester-Oxford cloth combination.

Ten people inflated and installed the legs, which took four hours (breakdown takes four hours as well).
For scale, the 22-foot ruby red slippers are 29x the size of a woman's size six shoe. You won't find those at Steve Madden.

Which Drunk Elephant products are worth the money? A $1,289 review
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. It'll only take a few trips to Sephora to make you stop and stare in wide-eyed amazement as you locate the Drunk Elephant shelves. The brand's white-bodied lotions and potions paired with neon-colored caps make its suite of skincare (and haircare!) coveted among beauty lovers. Founded in August 2013, Drunk Elephant is a skincare brand that always remain on rotation and makes me feel luxurious each morning and evening it's applied to my face, scalp or body. Trust me, I've reviewed plenty of beauty products as a shopping reporter — everything from retinol serums to night creams — and, much to my delight, what's inside the brand's skincare is just as glamorous as its packaging (which you'll want to flaunt on your bathroom counter all day). 'Our approach to skin care is also a little backwards: I don't believe in static skin types, instead I focus on skin behaviors, and those behaviors and needs can and do change on a regular basis,' Tiffany Masterson, founder and chief creative officer at Drunk Elephant, exclusively told the New York Post. 'Our philosophy of what we avoid — the Suspicious 6 — as well as the types of ingredients we use and their levels, is all about respecting and supporting skin's protective barrier and its microbiome. If we feed the skin only biocompatible ingredients that is can accept, understand, recognize, process and benefit from, while avoiding disruptive ingredients (i.e., the Suspicious 6) then the skin can do what it's supposed to do, and our skin is happy and healthy.' Now, let's get started with our full brand review. I tried $1,289 worth of Drunk Elephant products so you don't have to — and provided my in-depth overview of each one. Not to mention, Masterson commented on all of these signature products, too, so you can have all the posh and private intel you'll need here. Be sure to check out our in-depth FAQ section highlighting the brand CEO's favorite products, notes on formulating products and more. How we tested Victoria Giardina Though I've been a frequent purchaser of the brand since my high school days (shoutout to the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser and Protini Polypeptide Cream for getting me through), I've been seriously testing the brand for two years now. Not only have I been making a rich and whipped smoothie with some products as my knowledge of skincare ingredients grew (side note: those with more sensitive skin should never mix glycolic acid and retinol together at first), but I've been learning the ins and outs of what products work for different skin types. Which leads me to my skin type. I've always had sensitive skin, so you best believe I try any product on the palm of my hand — as dermatologists would recommend — before applying to my face or body. My skin tends to lean on the dry side, too. Within the review for each product tested, you'll find a comprehensive overview of which skin type certain Drunk Elephant products work best for, so you'll be well-suited on your next shopping trip — which can begin by clicking on each product you'd like to shop from our review. The Top 5 If I was stranded on a deserted island, these are the five Drunk Elephant products I'd want on deck: The Best Drunk Elephant Products We Reviewed Sephora Why we love it: The D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides are an easy-to-blend way to achieve a bit more of a natural glow, either after applying your foundation or added to your moisturizer for an extra dose. It doesn't appear streaky or stark; instead, its omega-rich virgin marula and black currant seed oils — along with vitamin F (fatty acids) — provide a healthful antioxidant mix that leans more toward a skincare product than your run-of-the-mill bronzer. A note from the founder: 'I started working on this in 2016 — I wanted a bronzer, but something I could mix into my routine and also supplied skin with the types of ingredients that helped protect it against the environment, but also strengthen skin. I landed on a blend of peptides, antioxidant-rich marula, black currant seed oils and cocoa extract. It really does help to protect skin against daily pollution, while also delivering on a bronzy glow. It's best mixed into your skincare routine, but you can also use it on the body (either straight up, or mixed into your body lotion). We launched it in 2018, and it's been a daily must have for me ever since.' Sephora Why we love it: The C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum is as fresh-as-can-be (and, one of the best vitamin C serums we reviewed) because it contains 15% of antioxidant-rich l-ascorbic acid — the best form of the vitamin, per derms), along with 0.5% ferulic acid and 1% vitamin E. It stands out from its competitor set, much ado to its mix-and-pour design (yes, you'll pour the serum's concentrate into its powder base) to ensure ultimate freshness — like freshly squeezed citrus onto your skin. A note from the founder: 'C-Firma launched in 2013, among the original six, and then we 'renovated' it into its current version, which launched in 2021. It's still the same combination of actives—15% l-ascorbic acid, 1.0% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid— and still contains the blend of powerful supportive antioxidants (licorice, grape and green tea extracts), among others. What we changed, though, was to separate the formula into two phases: a liquid serum and a vitamin C powder phase, allows the user to determine the time of 'activation' for their C-Firma Fresh, which is the moment they mix the two together, a one-time only process. That means the vitamin C is at its freshest and most potent every time.' Sephora Why we love it: The Protini Polypeptide Cream is — as its name suggests — peptide-packed, helping to improve the skin's firmness though it's butter-soft when it comes out of its push-down-pick-up-product packaging. With nine signal peptides derived from amino acids, it adds a next-level moisture coating to the skin to help plump and restore its vitality and bounce. A note from the founder: 'Protini Cream launched in 2018, same year as D-Bronzi, and was the result of a conversation and research I did with my mom on a flight to California in the summer of 2016. She had challenged me to develop a formula that firmed, boosting healthy collagen production and protecting against its loss. Protini contains two forms of peptides: signal peptides and plant-derived growth factor peptides, which work together to provide cell communicating, retinol-like benefits: improvement of multiple signs of aging, firming, thickening of thinning skin and texture irregularities. We added them at an incredibly high concentration, too (so high that it's considered a prescription-level in some regions, which is why it can't be sold globally in its current form).' Sephora Why we love it: The A-Passioni Retinol Cream, though can't be used if pregnant or nursing (read: best pregnancy-safe skincare products), is gentle enough on the skin to be used every so often by beginners, thanks to its 1% ingredient F, coupled with a blend of soothing passionfruit, apricot, marula and jojoba oils, help replenish the skin's essential lipids and moisture, while its formula as a whole is a premier, must-use item for anti-aging and to help eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A note from the founder: 'A-Passioni was our first retinol, launching in early 2019. I wanted to start at 1.0% because of the amount of research demonstrating that to be the best concentration in terms of improving skin texture, fading the appearance of brown or red spots and clearing troubled skin, but still being safe. We're using a form that is plant-derived, making it more stable, as well as encapsulated and controlled release. Encapsulation enhances the stability of plant-derived retinol, allowing it to remain active for a longer period once absorbed into the skin. Being controlled release also means that skin isn't taking such a direct hit of retinol; instead, the potency of A-Passioni is spread out over the course of several hours, which makes it much better tolerated by skin.' Sephora Why we love it: The T.L.C. Sukari Baby Facial AHA + BHA Mask is a ingredient-loaded face mask that is suitable for all skin types, thanks to its thoughtful inclusion of both AHAs (best for dry skin) and BHAs (best for oily skin). Its dream team of glycolic, lactic, tartaric, citric and salicylic acids work together to help minimize the look of pores while soothing with matcha tea for signature, emollient results. After 20 minutes, rinse and rivet in your now-glowing skin. A note from the founder: 'Babyfacial really started something—before we launched it, there was nothing like it on the market. Even after, we're the only one using a blend of mostly glycolic acid to make up its 25% concentration of AHAs, and 2% salicylic acid, which is also time-released and proprietary to Drunk Elephant. That plays a major role in its benefits for skin, its results, and its tolerability. Anyone can add any AHAs to a base and call it a day, but without that time-released step, you're hitting skin with that full strength and significantly increasing the likelihood of an irritating response from skin.' Sephora Why we love it: The C-Tango Vitamin C Eye Cream is the brand's most lightweight formula (compared to the Ceramighty AF formula), helping to deliver exceptional brightness to your under-eye area. With eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C and cucumber extract, it helps soothe, brighten and restore your delicate area for a more youthful appearance (that'll have you using this product twice-daily, may I add). A note from the founder: 'C-Tango, which launched in 2018, right between Protini Cream and D-Bronzi, is our vitamin C and peptide eye cream, which is clinically proven to improve fine lines, deep wrinkles and hyperpigmentation for firmer, brighter and smoother skin around the eye area. It has a medium-weight cream texture and contains five forms of non-acidic vitamin C and eight peptides—at generous doses—to addresses those more stubborn signs of damage, but is still safe for the entire eye area, (lids included).' Sephora Why we love it: The Ceramighty AF Eye Cream with Ceramides is a thicker, more moisturizing eye cream compared to its BFF, C-Tango, and can impressively double as a moisturizer if you apply it to your entire face — my little secret. Because of its viscose texture, it delivers long-lasting moisture, elasticity and freshness to the skin, much in part to its calming, dry skin-helping oat extract. A note from the founder: 'Ceramighty is our richest, most soothing eye formula, super nourishing and loaded with ingredients to strengthen and repair the skin barrier, especially for those who feel they can't ever get enough moisture around the eye area and lids. When skin is chronically dry, that means it has a shortage of the substances responsible for maintaining a healthy barrier, of which ceramides, fatty acids and lipids are all major components. Ceramighty is a highly specialized formula targeting those specific concerns, and it contains quite a high concentration of them as well. Traditionally, skincare products use 0.3% to 1.0% of ceramides, as they are quite effective even in lower amounts. Ceramighty, however, uses them at 3.0% concentration, making this an incredibly effective formula at repairing delicate, dry and irritated skin around the eye area.' Sephora Why we love it: The B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid is, by far, my favorite Drunk Elephant Serum — and just shy of $50! Because its star ingredient is hyaluronic acid, my skin has more of a youthful and bouncy appearance (which I love) and it's that 'cool drink of water for thirsty skin,' as the brand notes. Its unique lentil-apple-and-watermelon complex aids in diminishing dryness and that 'blah' feeling nobody wants — making it the best product from the brand's collection for dry skin, IMO. A note from the founder: 'B-Hydra is one of our earliest products, which launched back in 2016, and is loaded with ingredients that help boost the water content of skin, as well as protect against its loss. Think of it like a hyaluronic acid serum on steroids, with ingredients like niacinamide, watermelon, lentil, apple and amino acids to rehydrate and soothe skin. Like you would have a glass of water with a meal, add this to your day and night routine.' Sephora Why we love it: The Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum, replicating the same ingredient approach as its T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial AHA + BHA Mask, contains a wonderful ingredient mix of glycolic, lactic, tartaric, citric and salicylic acids that help curb excess oil and offer the skin greater clarity and luminosity. If you're looking for an extra douse of moisture, I find mixing it with the brand's Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil ($68) yields great results. A note from the founder: 'T.L.C. Framboos was one of the original six products I launched with in 2013. It's a blend of 10% AHAs, glycolic, tartaric, lactic and citric acids, along with 1.0% salicylic acid to refine, smooth texture and unclog congestion. I also added a mix of powerful antioxidants to help protect against environmental free radical damage, so it works as an antioxidant serum, too.' Sephora Why we love it: The Protini Powerpeptide Resurfacing Serum with Lactic Acid is one of the best precursors to use before the Protini Polypeptide Cream, especially for its well-formulated blend of lactic and amino acids — offering a rich hydrating factor to your skin. Along with 11 peptides, its formulation at large also helps minimize the appearance of pores and reverse the impact of sun damage. A note from the founder: 'Protini Serum was our second launch of 2021, with a blend of 10% lactic acid, and our highest even array and concentration of peptides—11 in all—and full of water-boosting ingredients (such as snow mushroom extract, sodium hyaluronate, and sodium PCA) replenish hydration levels) that is clinically proven to improve fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, tone and congestion. Lactic acid is one of the most gentle AHAs, due to its larger molecular size (meaning it cannot penetrate as deeply as others, like glycolic acid). It's also the only form of AHA that can trigger healthy collagen production.' Sephora Why we love it: The Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense Face Sunscreen SPF 30 is an easy-to-blend, full-coverage facial sunscreen that doesn't clog pores and keeps your skin protected from both UVA and UVB rays (aka, helping to prevent your skin from aging and burning simultaneously). It's more moisturizing than other facial SPFs I've used on the market, though it may not be the best for melanated skin as it leaves a slightly white cast, though that fades once blended well. A note from the founder: 'Umbra was another from the original six formulas, a totally silicone-free sunscreen—meaning it is completely water soluble and cleanses easily from skin—that relies only on mineral sunscreen actives. I used pure zinc oxide, which also makes Umbra reef safe, too. It was important to me that we include a range of antioxidants as well, as research is very clear about their benefits in boosting your skin's defenses against sun damage. I included an array that have powerful UV free-radical protection: Seaweed-derived astaxanthin, raspberry seed oil, sunflower sprout extract and vitamin C.' Sephora Why we love it: The Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is one of my go-to products to use twice daily. It has a true jelly consistency that is suitable for all skin types — including sensitive (simply put, it works wonders when I'm at my driest and oiliest). It even doubles as a makeup remover and does a great job of washing away impurities on the skin without stripping its barrier. A note from the founder: 'Beste is a deceptively simple formula—it was our first liquid cleanser after our solid bars, and we wanted something that would easily remove the bacteria, dirt, and pollution from the day, but still not strip skin or compromise the balance of lipids and emollients in its barrier. Beste relies on mostly plant-derived amphoteric surfactants, which are notable for their incredibly mild treatment of skin and barrier-friendly pH levels and paired them with a blend of vegetable-based cleansing agents to give the formula just enough oomph to remove makeup and sunscreen, without taking too much away. We also added a touch of moisture—plant glycolipids, linoleic, linolenic and marula oil—to soothe skin.' Sephora Why we love it: The Lala Retro Whipped Cream with Ceramides will forever be a top brand product (see: The Top 5 section above) and it differs from the Protini Polypeptide in that it's more cloud-like and doesn't have that refreshing cooling effect characteristic of its green-capped counterpart. Instead, Lala Retro focuses on replenishing the skin's barrier — a dreamboat for dry skin, to say the least — and its six African oil blend and plant ceramide complex add to its all-around soothing nature. A note from the founder: 'I take inspiration from health and wellness, which has led to ingredient combinations and formulation methods that may have been unexpected, but have worked incredibly well for us. The oil-whipping emulsion technology we use for Lala, for example, was inspired by me whipping salad dressing, if you can believe that. It's how we created the classic cream texture without the use of silicones.' Sephora Why we love it: The Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil isn't your best friend if you want to eliminate shine because, even though I love it, it'll give your skin a layer of sheen. For this reason, I love using it before bed to allow its antioxidant-rich, glowing serum to seep into my skin overnight. Because it contains greater concentrations of polyphenols than antioxidant-infused dark chocolate or green or black teas, it's a fortifying blend and defense against pollution and environmental stressors. A note from the founder: 'Virgin Marula was among those first six products I launched with in 2013, and it's an ingredient I believe very strongly in due to its benefits for skin. It was always my goal to find an oil that did more than just moisturize skin, going above and beyond to soothe, protect and reinforce skin's barrier. When I learned about Marula oil I was in love! It is rich in omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and not for nothing, it gives skin the prettiest glow. I knew that it had to have a starring role in skincare. Marula oil goes above and beyond, with anti-inflammatory, barrier reparative and free-radical defense abilities, and it works for all skin—which is why it is included in all of our formulas at varying levels.' Sephora Why we love it: The Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser is another Top 5 product in my book (and I've used plenty of cleansing balms). It's the most gentle yet effective I've used — seriously, go buy it and you'll fall in love — and I love using the included applicator to dab product in a cross-shape (forehead, chin and each cheek), then using water to erase the day away. Sometimes, I'd forego the rest of my skincare routine because it leaves a baby-soft finish to your skin that feels well-moisturized, making it even more iconic to travel with if you want to eliminate your product load. A note from the founder: 'Slaai, which launched in the early spring of 2019, was our first oil-based cleansing formula, using a blend of plant oils and our mildest blend of surfactants (so gentle they can be used on the eye area, by even the most sensitive of skin) to melt away sunscreen, makeup (even water-resistant forms), dirt and pollution. Slaai is able to cleanse without influencing the pH level of skin or disrupting the balance of (or stripping away) lipids in the skin barrier. Those lipids and other protective substances are what keeps the acid mantle healthy and thriving, which is why it is incredibly important to us that every formula we create only supports its health.' Sephora Why we love it: The F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask has been my ride-or-die overnight face mask as of late. It's one I've kept closely on my counter for years now, thanks to its refreshing finish that leaves your skin naturally radiant and fades the look of texture from your skin (assuming you don't have cystic acne or another skin condition). This electrolyte cocktail contains niacinamide, five forms of ceramides, omega fatty acids and powerful antioxidants — along with tiny beads of vitamin F that are gentle on even the most sensitive of skin — to deliver extra nourishment and grandeur appeal. Dare I say it's the most clever ingredient blend the brand has set forth? A note from the founder: 'F-Balm was our second ever mask, after Babyfacial, launching in January of 2020. I wanted to develop a hardworking, intensive repair treatment for when skin is extra parched, stressed or just needs a little extra love. F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial does the job using a blend of ingredients focused on replenishing and strengthening skin's acid mantle via high doses of electrolytes, omega fatty acids, ceramides and powerful antioxidants. Electrolytes help maintain and protect the balance of hydration and moisture levels in skin, improve barrier strength and calm redness. We added four—coconut water, sodium PCA, magnesium PCA and prickly pear extract—all of which are powerful antioxidant-rich humectants.' Sephora Why we love it: The Bouncy Brightfacial Brightening Mask with 10% Azelaic Acid + 1% Salicylic Acid is one of the brand's most recent launches and mimics its C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum in brightening factor and efficacy. Helping to fade dark spots and reduce the look of redness, it's the niacinamide- and ceramide-infused product to use if brightening is more of a priority to you than anti-aging. A note from the founder: 'Bouncy Brightfacial was our last launch of 2022, and is like nothing we've ever made. I wanted to create a skincare product that would smooth and even out signs of photodamage and make the skin as soft and plump as possible. Skin-soothing azelaic acid and exfoliating salicylic acid work together to correct the appearance of blemishes and discoloration while improving skin's texture and tone. A triple-antioxidant brightening complex targets dark spots, hyperpigmentation, visible signs of photodamage, and post-acne marks to promote dramatically more radiant and clearer-looking skin. Moisturizing plant oils—marula, chia, fermented green tea, and pumpkin seed—replenish, while ceramides, niacinamide, tocotrienols, and fatty acids strengthen and support a healthy skin barrier. All of which adds up to brighter, clearer, and happier skin—and mood.' Sephora Why we love it: The Sweet Pitti Deodorant Cream is excellent if you detest deodorant stains of all kinds (OK, so all of us) and doesn't spill over onto your clothes. It's like your powdered sugar dispenser, but one that dashes only to your skin and nowhere else. As someone who's more accustomed to the typical stick of Native, I was colored impressed by its nurturing, easy-to-use and aluminum-free design (read: best natural deodorants). A note from the founder: 'Sweet Pitti is an acid-based antibacterial deodorant, and was part of our original six body care products that launched in 2020. Acid-based deodorants have a great edge, not only do AHAs kill odor-causing bacteria, but they are also friendly and supportive of skin's acid mantle. It's really what makes this formula special, because many deodorants use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as their active ingredient, for example, which has a high, alkaline pH level and is inherently sensitizing.' Sephora Why we love it: The T.L.C. Glycolic Body Lotion is a luxury body lotion in every sense of the word, helping to soothe and add some vitality to dull skin. Its 10% AHA formulation allows it to be apt for dry skin, especially, and it does a phenomenal job at resurfacing your skin post-shower. However, allow yourself about 20 to 30 minutes before applying, as it can 'sting' when in contact with damp or freshly shaven skin. A note from the founder: 'People kept asking for T.L.C. Framboos for body, so here we are. T.L.C. Glycolic Body Lotion, which launched in 2021, a year after our core hair and body line, gently smooths and refines rough, bumpy skin while improving uneven tone with the same 10% AHA blend. A mix of antioxidant-loaded nonfragrant plant oils and butters—think green tea seed, passionfruit, apricot, marula, and shea—soothes and goes deep to moisturize dry, irritable skin, while squalane, vitamin F, sodium hyaluronate, and niacinamide work to create a stronger, healthier acid mantle. Powerful electrolytes (coconut fruit juice and sodium PCA) provide critical hydration and help defend against environmental stressors.' Sephora Pairs well with: Drunk Elephant Marula Cream Conditioner Why we love it: The Cocomino Glossing Shampoo is one of the best for shine, though it didn't quite combat my frizzy hair. However, it's still one I reach for because of its highly lathering formulation and ability to hold a curl once dried and styled (the most important factor, at least for me). With the matching Marula Cream Conditioner, your hair will be smooth and well-moisturized, making it one of the best shampoos for dry hair. A note from the founder: 'These two are some of my favorites! I created my line of hair care to focuses on the scalp—products that dissolve years of buildup while nourishing hair. Our Cocominos have no sulfates (or any harsh surfactants). For the Shampoo, that means a gentle, low-foam cleanse that's safe for color-treated hair and won't strip or rob your hair of its natural shine but will help reboot your scalp and strands by washing away styling-product buildup. We left out the artificial thickeners, too, which means Cocomino Shampoo has a lightweight liquid feel, and a little goes a long way. It contains a blend of moisturizing sweet almond oil and almond extract, which gives this formula a naturally nutty scent that vanishes quickly.' Sephora Why we love it: The Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Body Scrub is a brand product that truly deserves more hype than it currently confers. If you love all things coffee-scented but are looking for an exfoliant that won't irritate sensitive skin, this is the solution to gently sweep away dead skin cells — especially on your ankles and kneecaps. Its brown sugar crystals have a texture like that of sand (which, unfortunately, has the caveat of being left at the base of your bathtub or shower floor), but a simple rinse after you hopped out of the shower will do. It's a product I love to use every few days or so. A note from the founder: 'Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Body Scrub smells exactly like it sounds, which is all due to the blend of almond milk, coffee bean extract, and coffee seed oil that it contains. It's sweet and rich, but it doesn't contain fragrance or essential oils. This softening blend of moisturizing plant oils nourishes skin, while roasted and powdered coffee bean and brown sugar crystals exfoliate. Formulated with a blend of skin-nourishing almond milk and moisturizing, antioxidant-rich coffee seed, passionfruit, and marula oils, Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Body Scrub rinses easily while keeping everything below the neck soft, flake-free, and balanced.' Sephora Why we love it: The Silkamino Mega-Moisturizing Masker is the once-a-week replacement to your Marula Cream Conditioner ($27), helping to strengthen, soothe and soften the tips of your hair from the scalp-down. A little goes a long way, too, and your hair will beautifully reap its benefits whether you air-dry or use a blow dryer. A note from the founder: 'Silkamino Masker was part of our Silkamino hair line, which launched in 2022, all designed to deliver deep moisture to the driest, most damaged or coarse of hair types. It has marula butter, sunflower fatty acids, and panthenol penetrate to replenish and seal in moisture while a fortifying blend of hydration-boosting and hair-smoothing agents restores shine and touchability, along with a system of silk-derived ingredients that function together to provide a rebonding, deep-conditioning benefit for hair.' Sephora Why we love it: The T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub does a wonder on both dry and oily hair alike (thanks, AHA and BHA!) and contains a blend of six antioxidant and fatty acid-rich plant oils (including marula, mongongo, baobab and maracuja), along with amino acids. Upon use, your scalp will be more well-nourished, flake-free and balanced than ever before (though, if you have serious flakiness, check out our expert-backed guide to the best dandruff shampoos). A note from the founder: 'T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub, with its 10% AHA/1% BHA blend of exfoliating acids, keeps the scalp nourished, flake-free, and balanced. We paired that AHA/BHA blend with plant cellulose beads, housed in a tube that dispenses via a needle-nose spout, making it easy to apply directly to the scalp. The combination of AHA/BHA and plant cellulose beads helps to rid the scalp of buildup, while keeping the hair follicles clear and able to do their job unimpeded. Unlike our other AHA/BHA exfoliants, T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub is specially designed to work within a short period of time (10 minutes). After that time, gently massage the exfoliating cellulose beads through and rinse thoroughly for a minute or two before you shampoo. Just be sure you always start with a completely dry scalp and dry hair, otherwise it just won't work as well!' Sephora Why we love it: The Scrubbi Bamboes Body Cleanser has gentle exfoliating beads that help wash, purify and rid dead skin cells in a gentle and hydrating way. Its jelly-to-foam consistency is quite revolutionary, scaling up the list of my favorite shower products to use. With a mild, natural vanilla scent, it's heaven in a bottle. A note from the founder: 'Scrubbi is an exfoliating, antioxidant-rich jelly-to-foam body cleanser that thoroughly cleanses, softens, hydrates, and soothes with a mild, naturally sweet vanilla scent. Ultra-mild surfactants remove sweat, grime, and excess oils, while ultrafine, biodegradable bamboo beads gently buff dry, rough areas, leaving skin cushiony soft and silky smooth. A mix of fatty-acid-rich chia seed, flax seed, and marula oils moisturizes, and a quick-absorbing multi-amino-acid blend helps strengthen skin. Sodium PCA and squalane maintain hydration levels, prevent water loss, and improve barrier strength; antioxidant compounds help to calm and soothe. It contains vanilla fruit extract, which we added for its antioxidant and skin-calming benefits—it has a slightly sweet scent as a result.' Sephora Why we love it: The E-Rase Milki Micellar Water is a great makeup-removing option that won't strip your skin. I love pouring the liquid onto a cotton round and dabbing it on my face to remove my face makeup from the day (if I'm not using the Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser, that is). With soothing vitamin E and replenishing fatty acids and antioxidant-rich plant oils — marula, baobab, mongongo, wild melon seed, ximenia seed, passionfruit and sweet almond — rest assured it'll take the day away in only a few sweeps and is a step above your average micellar water pick. A note from the founder: 'I love this formula, and use it almost daily! E-Rase launched in 2020, and is our most flexible 'cleanser' formula, precisely because it is such an incredibly mild formula that doesn't use traditional surfactants. It may be used in place of a cleanser, as quick refresh after a workout or whenever going 'full cleanser' isn't really practical. Because E-Rase doesn't use traditional surfactants, it's fine to use it with a soft cloth and no water as an 'in-between' cleansing refresh, or as a dedicated makeup remover, before your traditional nighttime cleanser. You can use E-Rase with your hands too, or with cotton rounds.' An FAQ with Drunk Elephant's Founder Victoria Giardina How did Drunk Elephant get its start? Interestingly, Masterson started from a place that many will probably recognize — she was a curious consumer, who was frustrated with the skin issues that she was unable to resolve, and researching, looking for solutions. Who knew where that would lead? 'I studied ingredients non-stop for about three years, which led me to a process of elimination, taking things out, adding them back and that's what would evolve into the Suspicious 6,' Masterson tells The Post. 'This was shorthand for the six categories of ingredients that I felt were at the root of the skin issues I and others had battled: Essential oils, fragrance/dyes, silicones, sodium lauryl sulfate, drying alcohols and chemical screens.' Research led Masterson to think about skin differently, too. 'It was my experience that many of the skin behaviors that people struggle with, including myself—acne, sensitivity, dryness, excessive oiliness—are caused or worsened by the very products we are using to treat those concerns,' she adds. 'For example, products that are designed to treat acne or oily skin often use harsh ingredients like drying alcohols and those that are marketed to dry and sensitive skin often contain fragrances/dyes and essential oils.' What's more, these types of ingredients interfere with skin's ability to function at its best and of the ability of the actives to do their job. 'Sensitized and congested skin cannot truly benefit from beneficial actives because it is too distracted trying to repair the all the damage that irritating and in most cases, inflammatory ingredients cause,' she explains. 'Ingredients like silicones interfere with the absorption of actives (vitamin C or retinol, for example), which means your skin is only getting a fraction of those actives when they're formulated in a silicone base.' She's convinced that often, these behaviors or conditions (as she likes to call them) are ingredient-induced. Far worse, the ingredients responsible can be found in some combination in almost every skincare product on the market. 'That's why I developed Drunk Elephant in the first place — I was excited to help any and everyone I could, and, it turns out, starting with what not to use, and sticking to benefit-driven actives, really resonated with the consumer. It's how Drunk Elephant was born, and always coming back to the research and sticking to our philosophy has been the reason we've thrived.' Tiffany Masterson, founder and chief creative officer at Drunk Elephant Your step-by-step Drunk Elephant skincare routine — the same one its founder follows As you can imagine, Masterson is always working on new formulations, testing and experimenting, so her day and night routines have products on rotation always. 'I have something new coming out late summer that we have been working on for a few years, and it's been part of my daytime routine consistently — I can't live without it and I'm so excited to see it launch,' she teases. 'I can't say what it is, though — I wish i could!' While it's difficult for Masterson to choose favorites, she dishes out some specifications just for you, New York Post Shopping readers. 'C-Firma Fresh, D-Bronzi, O-Bloos, A-Passioni or A-Gloei, Protini Polypeptide and my Umbra sunscreen are some of my most frequently used formulas for day,' she lists. 'At night, Lala, T.L.C. Framboos, Brightfacial, F-Balm and Virgin Marula Oil are my go-to products.' She only cleanses at night, using the Slaai Cleansing Balm. 'Cleansing twice daily can really do a number on your skin, so in the morning I wake up and like to gently wipe a soft damp cloth over my eyes, with a bit of micellar milk just to refresh,' she elaborates. For her hair, she (of course) uses the Cocomino Glossing Shampoo, followed by the Silkamino Masker, which she uses as her regular conditioner — you just use less of it! The most popular Drunk Elephant products, explained by its founder 'So many have taken turns at the top, but Protini Cream, D-Bronzi, C-Firma Fresh, Lala and B-Hydra are having a big moment right now,' Masterson shares. 'I don't have a hero product, which is not typical for a brand, at least that's what I've been told. However, I really think the most popular thing about my line is the philosophy, which all the products fall under, which is about helping consumers understand that skin is skin, and it knows what it needs to be healthy.'

Prep in your step: 10 perfect pieces for an effortless summer wardrobe
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Once reserved for Ivy League legacies and summers on the Vineyard, preppy style has taken a fresh turn. For Gen Z (and the fashion-savvy among us), it's no longer just polos and pleated skirts — it's playful, pastel, and TikTok-approved. Think: tennis-core meets coquette-core with a side of vintage Ralph. At its roots, preppy fashion still channels that polished, East Coast ease — crisp collars, tailored shorts, and breezy button-downs that whispers old money energy. But in 2025, it's less about old rules and more about reimagining tradition with personality — and just the right amount of pink. So, whether you're heading to the Hamptons or just dressing like you are, we've rounded up 10 summer-perfect pieces that deliver on style, quality, and, yes, serious prep appeal. Trust me — you don't need a trust fund to dress like you have one. A crisp white button-down is the backbone of any preppy wardrobe — and this one from Old Navy is shockingly good Lightweight, tailored, and available in a rainbow of colors and patterns, it's the kind of versatile staple you'll wear on repeat. The Button-Down Shirt comes in regular, petite, and tall sizes — plus a range of fits from classic to slim — so you can style it oversized with bike shorts or tucked into a pleated mini for that ultra-clean, ultra-prep look. The white version is a best-seller (and for good reason — it nails that 'borrowed-from-my-boarding-school-boyfriend' energy), but we're also loving the playful stripes and pastel patterns for a more personality-packed twist. Oh — and it's on sale for $25. Total no-brainer. The Oaklynn Belted Mini Shirtdress from En Saison is your new summer MVP — perfect for everything from white parties to weekend wanderings Tailored yet playful, this dress features a crisp pleated skirt, chic gold buttons, and a subtle bow belt that cinches the waist just right. The clean, classic color keeps things fresh and effortlessly polished, making it equally office-appropriate or perfect for a long stroll through SoHo or the Upper East Side. It's the kind of dress that looks like you meant to dress up — but also like you didn't try too hard. Loafers are the ultimate preppy power move — and this pair from Vertundy delivers major old-money energy without the old-money price tag We all know the classic prep shoe is a clean white sneaker, but here's how you can level it up: With a sleek, low-heel silhouette and classic slip-on design, these black loafers are a wardrobe staple that can take you just about anywhere — from the office to dinner and a show, or from the Jitney straight onto a boat for happy hour. They're polished enough for a client meeting, but comfortable enough for a long city stroll (or a yacht deck, naturally). Go for the black for that timeless, East Coast boarding school vibe, or branch out with one of the other neutral or pastel shades — they pair effortlessly with every outfit on this list (and probably half the ones already in your closet). Timeless, versatile, and unapologetically prep — these are your go-to loafers for the season. For Love & Lemons always serves luxury-prep fantasy — and this flirty, feminine top fits the aesthetic and happens to be on sale With its delicate lace trim, subtle frills, and soft horizontal block stripes, this dreamy blouse feels like it was made for sipping something sparkling on a sailboat. The classic boat neckline and cap sleeves keep it polished, while a tiny bow detail seals the deal on peak preppy romance. It's equal parts Upper East Side tea party and French Riviera daydream — and yes, the price tag is as pretty as the top itself (for now). Scoop it up before it sets sail. Consider this our ode to the original prep-girl staple: the cropped pant These aren't your grandma's capris — but they are a nod to that timeless, flirty ankle moment. With a breezy, wide-leg silhouette, tailored front pockets, and a crisp cropped cut, they're made to show off your summer loafers, your favorite white sneakers, or just a touch more of that golden tan. Available in a range of inclusive fits, colors, and styles, these pants strike the perfect balance between classic and current. Dress them up with a structured blazer or down with a tucked-in tee — either way, they're the kind of elevated basic that makes your whole wardrobe feel more intentional. Chic, comfortable, and unapologetically prep — the perfect pair of jeans is always a smart investment. No preppy look is complete without the perfect carry-all — and this quilted BAGSMART tote nails the assignment. Whether you're trekking to a friend's place, catching a train out East, or just pretending your iced latte is headed to the Hamptons, this Lightweight Puffy Tote delivers on both style and practicality. With its pillowy quilting and clean silhouette, it leans into that effortless, quiet luxury look that's dominating prep-adjacent trends right now. Inside, it's all function: multiple compartments (yes, it fits a full-sized laptop), zip pockets for your essentials, and just enough room for a book, sunscreen, and an emergency sweater — aka your summer survival kit. It's polished enough to take to work, relaxed enough for weekend escapes, and totally on-theme with today's updated prep: crisp, classic, and intentionally unfussy. Of course, we couldn't leave off another lululemon gem — because sometimes, prep meets athleisure just right This dress is the ultimate summer staple: a sleek high-neck silhouette crafted from the famously buttery-soft Align fabric you already know and love. It's perfect for all your tennis whites moments — even if your only match is a brunch date. Bonus: it also comes in black for that Pilates-princess-meets-prep vibe that's both sophisticated and sporty. AND — wait for it — it's on sale. Yes, lululemon on sale. Pinch yourself. Need a little more support? No worries. The Wunder Under Smoothcover Dress offers the same luxe material in a similarly chic cut with extra hold, so you can prep up with confidence, no matter your play. Pajama sets are having a major moment — and honestly, why wouldn't you want to look put-together even while you sleep? These affordable Amazon finds are perfect for adding a little preppy polish to your nighttime routine. The lightweight, breathable fabric keeps you cool during steamy summer nights, while the matching sets give you that main character energy from the second you crawl into bed to the moment you reach for your iced coffee. With tons of patterns — think florals, gingham, animal print, and beyond — you can find the perfect vibe to match your personality (or your Pinterest board). Prep never sleeps — and now, you won't have to sacrifice style when you do either. Yes, it's hot. Yes, this trench will probably sit pretty in your closet until fall. But at 60% off? It's a no-brainer This classic, Ivy-inspired trench coat is the definition of timeless prep — crisp lines, a neutral palette, and that effortlessly polished silhouette that never goes out of style. It's the kind of piece that elevates anything you throw on underneath, from tailored trousers to tennis skirts and crewnecks. Preppy girls layer, too — and this is the piece that will carry your look seamlessly from summer storms to crisp fall mornings. Get it now, thank yourself later. You don't need old money to master timeless style. Whether you're channeling tennis-core charm or leaning into old-school East Coast polish, today's preppy style is all about mixing tradition with a twist. From bow-detailed tanks to breezy shirtdresses and yacht-ready stripes, these ten pieces prove you don't need a country club membership to master the look.
