We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

In the Celebrity edition of What's in My Cart, stars reveal the everyday products they're shopping — complemented by expert insights from our editors and analysts when it's something we love too.

Amanda Batula just exudes coolness. The Summer House star has become synonymous with her signature laid-back, effortlessly chic style. She looks like the epitome of summering "out east" (which is exactly what she and her cast mates do on the hit Bravo show): low-fuss hair, no-makeup makeup and timeless style with understated but noticeably impeccable taste.

She joked it all comes down to "lazy girl aesthetic" while wrapped in cozy winter whites and hosting an event with Wellness Whimzees dental chews for dogs (she has two rescue pups of her own, Reese and Ryder, who stayed glued to her side all night). But with her eponymous swim line, Amanda Batula Swim, launching soon, a special drop at South Moon Under on February 18 and the season 9 premiere of Summer House airing February 12 at 9/8c, it's clear Amanda has been anything but lazy.

In the midst of a busy month, Amanda shared how she gets her signature look with beauty, fashion and accessory staples all around $50 — many of which happen to be loved by our editors and Good Housekeeping Institute Lab experts (we told you she had great taste!).

HER COOL-GIRL STAPLE TEE

When it comes to wardrobe staples, "Abercrombie & Fitch has the best basic white t-shirts ever, obsessed," Amanda says. "I think I bought six of the same white t-shirt from them because I can't stop wearing them. I almost wore it tonight." Abercrombie's tees are also a GH favorite: they're some of our top-tested t-shirts for women. Our editors love how soft and opaque they are and that they're cropped at the perfect spot. Bonus? "It's on sale," Amanda says. "Get it."

AMANDA'S WINTER SKIN SAVIOR

Weleda Skin Food Light Nourishing Body Cream

Amanda switches up her skincare routine during colder winter months to give her skin a hydrated summer glow year-round. When temperatures dip, she reaches for this Weleda cream as a night cream. "I use it in the winter on my face only at night, and during the day I use more of a day cream," Amanda says. "It's so moisturizing and so delicious, it makes my skin look so glowy in the morning."

AMANDA'S FAUX FRECKLE GO-TO

"I love doing a faux freckle. I have freckles but I like to add a little on top of my makeup," Amanda says. "I use the Anastasia brow pen and I dot it on my finger and I put it on my nose and it's like the perfect shade of brown because they come in whatever shade you want for your eyebrows. And then I fill in my eyebrows with it after!"

GH editors similarly love Anastasia products and Amanda's pick is one of our favorite brow makeup products for sketching on realistic-looking brow hairs. The waterproof formula makes it perfect for long-lasting, realistic-looking freckles — genius!

AMANDA'S MASCARA OF THE MOMENT

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara

This drugstore staple is "my favorite mascara right now," says Amanda. "I do true brown, I'm a big fan of brown mascara right now. Very into it." This budget-friendly drugstore mascara is also loved by the GH Beauty Lab; it's one of the best waterproof mascaras for volumizing lashes. Testers loved how it goes on smoothly without clumping, thanks to rubbery bristles that separate and lengthen lashes without making them feel stiff or crispy.

For a fluffy brow that stays put, "I always do clear brow gel, [this is] my go-to and I just fill it in with a little pencil," Amanda says. Her favorite happens to be one of our Beauty Lab's favorite long-lasting brow gels to hold hairs in place all day without looking crunchy or flaky.

AMANDA'S HOMEBODY MUST-HAVE

A self-proclaimed homebody, Amanda reaches for these "really cute" slippers on nights in. Experts in the GH Textiles Lab love the socks from Barefoot Dreams CozyChic line (we rated them some of the best fuzzy socks and the best warm socks out there), so it makes sense that these slippers from the same line would be some of Amanda's go-to favorites for lounging at home.

Amanda's jewelry game is next level and she's become known for eclectic stacks of jewelry. This brand is one of her favorite budget-friendly picks. "It's an account I found on Instagram, their stuff is so reasonable and so trendy and I was stacking their necklaces like crazy for years on the show and people were always asking me where it's from. I still wear it to this day." This necklace is a go-to. "They're affordable, they're good."

AMANDA'S CURRENT GLOSS OBSESSION

LAWLESS Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Line Gloss

For juicy lips, even in the cold winter months, Amanda reaches for this line-smoothing gloss. "It's so good, it's so juicy, I'm obsessed with it. I've almost used half of mine already and I just got it." We reviewed this gloss in the GH Beauty Lab when it first launched, and our editors named it one of the best lip-plumping glosses and love its sugar-sweet scent, plush texture and how it seemed to erase any trace of lines on the lips.

Amanda says she won't even travel without her dogs' favorite snacks and these Wellness Whimzees dental treats are more than just tasty; "It keeps puppies teeth clean and it's just so easy to give them, I don't have to think about it. I give it in between teeth brushing." Wellness makes some of our top-tested dog treats and are loved by some of the pet-owning editors on staff whose dogs, like Amanda's, can't get enough of these treats and chews.
