MCoBeauty XtendLash Growth Serum Tubular Mascara

"This is my favorite mascara. You guys are going to be obsessed. The best part of this is that it has growth serum inside the mascara. When you're wearing it all day long, you have the serum on, so you don't just have to put a growth serum on at night. You're actually growing your lashes all day long while you're wearing mascara. 

More From Melissa: "I cannot believe how amazing it is. I love how thin the barrel is. It gets in real tight and close to the little hairs in the corner. The best thing since sliced bread. Love it. It is my absolute favorite right now. "

Dime Beauty Tinted Wonderscreen SPF 30

"All my melasma girls out there, anybody who gets dark spots on their face whenever they go in the sun, listen up right now. This is very important. I've been through tons and tons of tinted moisturizer and SPF. The Dime Beauty one is the best one. It is a mineral sunscreen. It has a really nice sheen and a tint to it."

More From Melissa: "You cannot have a chemical sunscreen. I don't believe in that. I believe in using mineral sunscreens. You need a mineral sunscreen. It comes in three different shades and a clear as well. You're getting the best sunblock you can possibly get."

Sol de Janeiro Glowmotions Glow Body Oil

"It's a great glow oil. If you're going out and want to shine up your body if you have a little dress or shorts on, give a little glow to your legs. It smells like you're in a tropical paradise. It gives a glow. It's not gonna give a lot of pigment."

Melissa's body glow oil is currently available in 2 shades on Amazon

Quay Women's Nightfall Flat Top Shield Sunglasses

"I love Quay sunglasses. This is one of my favorite pairs and I get questions about my sunglasses constantly."

Amazon has these sunglasses in 7 colors.
