If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what everyday stuff famous people add to their carts — likemascaraor asleep mask. Back in 2019, we askedReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar Erika Jayne — who will be joining Kesha on theFreedom Tourthis summer asDJ Pretty Mess,following athree-show solo U.K. tour— about the things she can’t live without. Seven years later, we asked her to revisit her list, which you can readhere. Turns out she still swears by lots of her old picks, likeOribe shampoo, aWolford bra, and aPrada backpack, but she has several new favorites, too.
The go-to lip moisturizer she’s still using

Listen, I used it in the first interview and I’m still using it. It’s a forever staple. I believe in the product. I know what it does. And I’ve tried just about everything you can try for moisturizing your lips. Very few come close to Aquaphor. You can use it on your cuticles, you can use it on your heels, you can use it on your lips. It’s really an allover kind of thing.
The whole-body deodorant she relies on for a fresh scent

This product was developed by a female gynecologist. You will feel so fresh and so clean. It’s an all-over-body deodorant. I use the unscented one. I’ve used it for a couple of years now, really since it first came to market. I’ve tried some other ones but didn’t like them. I just stick with this one. You’ll still sweat, but you don’t smell, and that’s the great part. It’s always with me.
The sexy scent she discovered in Sydney

I was all over Australia in February. I was in Sydney DJ-ing, and I went toMecca. And I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Mecca, but imagine Sephora on steroids. That’s the only way I can describe it. No shade to Sephora, but Mecca blows them out. And there was this incredible perfume selection and I was smelling all of these different fragrances. I discovered D.S. & Durga’s Jazmín Yucatan and I loved it. I fell in love with it. I wear it a lot. It’s a sexy smell. It’s tropical but in the right way. Not too sweet or fruity. And my boyfriend likes the way it smells.
Her reliable and affordable eczema cream

I have eczema. And I’ve had to have prescription medication, but this is the best over-the-counter eczema cream on the market. I’ve used it for a couple of years and I think it’s a fair price — it works really well and it’s easy to access. You can use steroid creams, but it thins your skin and it doesn’t work out well in some way or another. I really, really believe in this product. I’ve used it for years and it’s always in my bag. Always.
Her bold but comfortable everyday shoes

Another Australia purchase. I’ve always liked Tigers, but they are not readily available. They had a boutique in Beverly Hills, but they no longer do — nobody has a boutique in Beverly Hills anymore. I found this boutique in Sydney, and they had all of these incredible selections. I found these metallic-pink mary jane ones. I know that sounds kinda wild, but they’re very cute. I love to pair them with my linen pants and a T-shirt. They are stylish. You don’t see a lot of them. And they’re comfortable.
[Editor’s note: Onitsuka Tiger lists prices in Swiss francs; the price listed is an estimation is U.S. dollars.]
Her go-to brand for her preferred heel height
New! You can now save this product for later.
I’m loving this brand, and the reason is because I wear 120-millimeter heels. I’ve noticed that some of my favorite designers — like the guy with the red bottoms — have mostly gotten away from 120. But Le Silla is really giving us these heels, and they are fabulous. I just think that Le Silla is the hottest shoe brand out right now. My birthday just passed, so I bought this pair of slingbacks. I bought some others for the tour that I’ll be wearing onstage. I mean, listen, is it more comfortable to stand in my Onitsuka Tigers? Yeah. But as far as heels go, they aren’t bad. I would not be wearing them if I didn’t think I could work in them.
The sleep aids she uses for travel

Half Past 8 is a new product developed by my friend Meto Pierce, and he gave them to me to test. I first had an experience with them when I went to Australia and I needed to sleep. I was upside down, you know. It was obviously jet lag. I applied one of the patches to my wrist and I had one of the best nights of sleep ever.
The durable and comfy sweats she sleeps in on planes

I travel a lot, and I travel in sweats for a reason. I don’t like to be constricted. I always sleep on the plane. I’m the one who is always asleep before takeoff. And I get cold. So I’m always in sweats. Adanola sweats are well made. They are very durable. How do I know? Because I have run this one pair, this full hoodie and sweatpants set, into the ground, and it’s still going. I have worn them long enough to know they are not gonna fall apart.
Her healthy-swap beverage
New! You can now save this product for later.
I like drinking Coca-Cola, but you know, that’s not great. So why not drink some kombucha? All the girls in the cast were drinking it. I was the last holdout. I tried Synergy and really liked it. That’s the kombucha I reach for. It’s always in the refrigerator.
The good-tasting creatine she takes to build muscle
New! You can now save this product for later.
I have takencreatinefor a very long time. Long before it was found to be great for cognitive ability and apparently staving off Alzheimer’s. But it’s a great training supplement. I’m 55 years old, so muscles are important. And good workouts are important. Bone strength, bone density — creatine helps you achieve all of those kinds of things. That’s why I take it. And I like Cymbiotika. I know the owner. She’s wonderful, and she’s right on the cutting edge of all the supplements. And, well, it tastes good, right? Because creatine can be gritty or just really rough. This actually goes down smooth.
The protein bars she buys by the box

I don’t always have enough time to eat a complete meal. Some of the protein bars, let’s face it, taste meh. I just happen to like the way this one tastes. I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I buy it by the box.
