Receipts Feat. Celebrity Jewelry Designer Melinda Maria

“This spray is the ultimate skin refresh. I use it multiple times per day—at home, in the car, between meetings, and especially on planes. It keeps my skin calm, hydrated, and happy. One time, I forgot it on a long-haul flight and genuinely panicked. Now, I always have a backup mini in my bag.”

“I love to use these every morning while sipping coffee, during Zoom calls, or after a late night to de-puff, brighten, and feel human again—especially on early mornings. They work fast. I instantly feel more awake and put together—even if I’m running on three hours of sleep. I once wore them in a meeting by accident and no one noticed—just kept asking if I’d had ‘such a relaxing weekend.’”

“I swear this is the best SPF I’ve ever used. I use it every single day. It gives me coverage, glow, and serious sun protection—all in one. Honestly, it makes my skin look filtered. I’m obsessed with protecting my skin, and this has zinc oxide—non-negotiable for sun damage prevention. Plus, the tint is flawless and blends like a dream. It’s skincare, makeup, and SPF in one magical tube.”

“There’s nothing more personal or more powerful than wearing your story close to your heart. 

I wear mine every day. This is the kind of piece you never want to take off. It layers beautifully with chunkier chains or shines all on its own. I love styling it over a tee or under a button-down. 

It feels meaningful, but is still cool without being overly sweet or serious. Very ‘modern heirloom.’ I gifted this to all my girlfriends for Galentine’s Day, and now they never take it off. It’s also my go-to for new moms or anyone going through a major life moment—it just means something.”

“I use this for that juicy, lit-from-within glow. A pinch of it on the cheeks and lips is chef’s kiss. It’s like breaking open a cherry and drizzling it on your skin in the prettiest way. It’s also hydrating and makes me look instantly more alive. I wear it when I want to look glowy without trying too hard. 

My favorite shade is Flushed, but honestly they’re all stunning. I even use it on my eyelids for a monochromatic vibe.”

“If you’re looking for the perfect combo of gloss, hydration, and a subtle tint, look no further. My fave color is Pink Guava because the smell is so good that I just want to eat it (but they’re all delish). I keep one in every bag and use it before bed too. It’s my go-to when I want hydrated lips without the stickiness. 

This stuff actually works. My lips stay soft, and it looks so pretty layered over lip liner or worn solo. It’s self-care in a tube.”

“Brows make the face, and this gel is my ride or die. I wear this every. single. day. Whether I’m doing a full beat or just running out the door with tinted sunscreen, this keeps my brows look naturally lifted, full, and polished. The taupe shade (specifically) is perfection—not too warm, not too ashy, and actually holds without getting crunchy. It gives just the right amount of tint and structure, so I feel put together with minimal effort. Trust me: I’ve tried so many brow gels and always come back to this one. 

Obvi, this gem comes from the Queen of Brows, herself—Anastasia. If anyone knows how to nail the perfect brow, it’s her. B(r)ow down.”

“Healthy skin glows from the inside out, and this oil is pure skin nutrition in a bottle. I use it morning and night, usually after cleansing and before moisturizer. It’s perfect for a quick gua sha session (it helps the tool glide sooooo smoothly), or whenever my skin needs that extra glow (hello, office AC or early flights).

“The skin around your eyes deserves VIP treatment, and this cream delivers. It’s light enough to wear under makeup (zero pilling), but hydrating enough to keep fine lines soft and happy all day. I  also dab it on before events for a bright, rested look—whether I’ve actually slept or not.

First of all, it’s made by Dr. Jessica Wu, my dermatologist and legit skin goddess. She’s all about results without irritation. This cream is packed with antioxidant-rich white peony, soothing Chinese skullcap, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and brightening bearberry extract. It’s gentle, effective, and doesn’t cause milia (huge win).”

“This necklace is a little bling and a little badass—the perfect mix of glam and edge. It literally goes with everything—whether you’re layering it with other chains or diamond tennis necklaces, styling it solo with a tank and jeans, or adding a sparkle moment to a blazer for a dinner out. It’s the ultimate hybrid: a cool Cuban chain meets delicate sparkle, finished with our signature MM padlock clasp…and Taylor Swift wore it, so you know it’s iconic.”

“This candle makes my space feel like an instant getaway—fresh, calm, and full of that just-picked-from-the-garden kind of magic. I love lighting it in the morning while I’m getting ready or in the evening to wind down. It sets the mood and has a totally elevated smell that is effortless—not too much, just enough. 

I went to the launch dinner party for this candle, and it was literal magic. It felt like walking into the Garden of Eden. The scent was everywhere—floating through the flowers, the food, the night air—and I knew I needed that feeling in my house. It’s made with clean coconut wax, burns beautifully, and comes in a simple, pretty jar that works in any room. I keep one in my bathroom and another in the kitchen because yes, it’s that good.”

“I’ll actually buy anything from BÉIS. I use all of their luggage and accessories for vacations, weekend getaways, and traveling to different sets for photoshoots. I love how chic everything is. The colors are gorgeous, and it’s designed by Shay Mitchell—aka a girl who knows how to pack in the most convenient and efficient way.

I once packed for a week-long trip using just their carry-on and makeup case. It fit everything and made me feel like I had my life together.”
