Jessel Taank Drops Her Amazon Beauty Must-Haves

It may only be the start of May, but Amazon’s third-annual Summer Beauty Event is here, and Real Housewives of New York fan-favorite Jessel Taank isn’t wasting a minute. The two-week savings event runs through May 11 (conveniently, Mother’s Day) and as the reality star told us, she’s stocking up. “When I say I’ve been adding to my cart all week, I mean it!” Taank says. “It couldn’t be timed more perfectly. You can help the mother figures in your life stock up on all of their makeup, skin care and wellness must-haves from trending products to gift sets and more.” Here are some of her must-haves:
The Amazon Beauty Essentials
Some of Taank’s favorite picks that are on sale during this year’s Summer Beauty Event include Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Treatment (originally $62, now $46.50), Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Exosome Shot Serum (originally $20, now $14), Olaplex Volumizing Blow Dry Mist ($30) and the Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage (originally $42, now $36). “Each of these products plays such an important role in my everyday skin-care and makeup routines; I don’t know what I would do without them.”
The On-Camera Standbys
Recently, this reality star says she’s been loving Tarte sculpt tape contour (originally $36, now $25) for on-camera glam. “It photographs flawlessly and leaves me with the most perfect bronzed look—my cheekbones have never looked more chiseled,” Taank attests. “Not to mention this product blends like a dream, leaving my skin with an airbrushed finish.”
The Lip-Eye Combo
“I’ve honestly never run into a product that I’m not a fan of when it comes to how it looks on-camera, but I will say I prefer to go with more neutral looks that I’m comfortable in,” says Taank. “I love a red lip whenever I’m filming, and I have to have a nice winged eyeliner – my two go tos are the Kiko Milano Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick in shade Pearly Tulip Red (originally $15, now $12) and the LORAC PRO Precision Liquid Eyeliner (originally $22, now $19). I tend to stray away from an intense sparkly eyeshadow whenever I know I’ll be on-camera.”
The End-of-Day Cleansing Balm
After a long day of filming, Taank loves to go in with Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover (originally $44, now $34) right when she gets home. “This product is my holy grail for taking all of my glam off at the end of the day. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and fresh. I’m all about convenience, and this makeup remover is hassle-free and incredibly easy to use—one simple rinse and my skin is clean without being stripped of its natural moisture.”
The Most Moisturizing SPF
Taank says she couldn’t survive without her EltaMD UV Sheer Face Sunscreen ($44). “This product is my go-to, whether I’m running everyday errands on a hot summer day or heading to the beach. There’s nothing more important than making sure your skin is protected, and this product does just that and more. This is the most moisturizing sunscreen I’ve ever used!”
The Products to Buy in Bulk
“The Medicube Salmon DNA PDRN pink collagen jelly gel masks (originally $21, now $14) are a must-have beauty staple in my routine that I never allow myself to run out of,” she says. “I love to wear these masks overnight, and when I wake up my skin looks even more soft and hydrated—giving me a noticeable glow. They’re packed with collagen, giving my skin a plumper and more firm look that I love.”
The New Beauty Obsession
A few weeks ago, Taank discovered the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lifted & Defined Brow Duo (originally $26, now $16), and she isn’t looking back. “I can safely say that I’m obsessed. My eyebrows have never looked so full! The look this product gives me makes me feel like I just got my eyebrows microbladed or professionally done by a makeup artist.”
