The $3 Lip Balm Lisa Rinna Swears By Plus Her Other Current Obsessions
When it comes to beauty icons, Lisa Rinna has earned her spot in the hall of fame — and not just for her unapologetically bold attitude, signature pout, or scene-stealing style. Her hair alone has sparked headlines and inspired countless looks over the years, which makes it all the more exciting that she's finally teaming up with haircare brand Bumble and Bumble. "It's my first hair collab I've ever done, which is amazing to me on so many levels," Rinna tells PopSugar. "I think my hair is iconic — and it should have a product."
That product? Bumble and Bumble's Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer ($34), a multitasking formula that smooths, protects, and hydrates strands. "I love a hair oil, and I've just kind of gotten into it over the last year," Rinna says. "About a year ago, I dyed my hair platinum, and it forced me to really learn how to take care of it . . . I swear to God, [hair oil] saves your hair."
In true Rinna fashion, her favorite products span from luxury skin care to surprisingly practical drugstore staples, all delivered with the same honesty and edge we know and love her for. From a luxe moisturizer she always keeps in rotation to a tea she drinks every single morning, these are the everyday essentials that keep Rinna glowing, grounded, and totally herself.

Lisa Rinna's Affordable Must Have
Rinna swears by this cult-classic balm for more than just dry lips. "I like Carmex. I think Carmex and Aquaphor are two products that are really great, and you should always have them," she says. "You can even use Carmex if you have a stuffy nose — it's almost like Vicks. I swear, it clears up your sinuses." And why grab just one? Amazon has a pack of Carmex Daily Care and Daily Care Minis ($15) so you never run out.

Lisa Rinna's Investment Must Have
This luxurious moisturizer, Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream ($190), is one of Rinna's go-to splurges. "I don't know what it does exactly . . . but it doesn't break me out," she admits. "I think it has some great firming and clearing properties. I just think it works for me really well." She rotates through several skin-care products, but this one always stays consistent.

Lisa Rinna's Morning Routine Must Have
Coffee may not work for her, but these Gya Tea Co Yerba Mate Tea Bags ($13) absolutely do. "Yerba mate is my happy drink," Rinna shares. "I discovered it 20 years ago because I can't do coffee, the acid is too strong for my system. I swear by it. Love it. Drink it every single morning."

Lisa Rinna's Nighttime Must Have
A calming addition to her nighttime ritual, Rinna recently swapped her bedroom bulb for the Anzqul Red Night Light ($36, originally $44), and she's already noticing benefits. "It's supposed to help with your stress level before you go to sleep," she says. "So far, so good. I've been sleeping really well."

Lisa Rinna's Travel Must Have
An unexpected but essential part of her routine, this stainless steel The Tongue Buddy Tongue Scraper ($20) is something Rinna never travels without. "I always have one. I have one in my bathroom, and I carry one in my travel bag," she says. "I think it's really important to scrape your tongue after you brush your teeth for detox reasons and bacteria. It's just part of my routine now."

Lisa Rinna's Beauty Must Have
This multipurpose Bumble + Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer ($34) is Rinna's go-to for keeping her iconic hair healthy, frizz-free, and ready for styling. "I love a hair oil," she says. "About a year ago, I dyed my hair platinum, and it forced me to really learn how to take care of my hair . . . I use it all the time, it really is a game changer in prepping the hair and taking away any frizz or dry-looking hair. I just think it's genius."
