If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what everyday stuff famous people add to their carts — like hair spray or an electric toothbrush. We asked the actress Gina Gershon — who stars in the new movie Borderlands — about the focus-enhancing tea, “delicious” perfume oils, and relaxed blazer she can’t live without.
I mean, at this point everyone wears earbuds everywhere. I always have these to listen to whatever podcasts or Audible books I’m into. It’s also nice to have earbuds for meditation apps. I like these because they go around my ear. I’ve had others that would always fall out. I’ve had these the longest, which is really saying something.
This is just a really great brand. It’s expensive, but it’s what makes my skin look the best. People are always asking me what I do to my skin. I don’t use cream, because I can’t with my skin. I only use serums, and this is the one I use every day. I don’t leave home without it on my face. I wake up, apply it under just a little bit of makeup, and my skin looks refreshed.
I don’t remember how I found this lip balm, but the moment I put it on, I was like, Oh I love this. I don’t have to put a lot on my lips, but it’s moisturizing. It’s not too shiny and has a slight hint of color. The texture is great, too. It’s very light and smooth.
I can’t leave home without these. They calm me down because they’re very grounding. They also smell delicious, so they’re my favorite oils to put on. They’re organic without any synthetic ingredients. I use several different ones depending on my mood, the time of day. I don’t even know the actual names of them, because I’ve been wearing them for so long and I’ve made up my own nicknames for each of them.
This is a great new discovery. I love so many of their products, because it’s all based on plant medicine. She’s an herbalist who’s done the research and sourced the right ingredients for her elixirs and tonics. One of my favorites is the Blue Lotus tea, because it’s what they call an adaptogenic brain tonic. It helps calm you down, activates your pineal gland, and it’s good for focus.
This is a great product if you need some help focusing. It has all sorts of cordyceps, and lion’s mane, and other types of mushrooms. I have it in the morning before I do anything else. It’s part of my supplement routine. The tea is something I’ll have in the middle of the day, and it’s much subtler. With this, I can really notice a big difference between days I take it and days I don’t.
I have this on me quite a bit. I put my phone in it, my credit card, some money, and just walk out the door. It protects my phone, and it’s great when I don’t want to carry around a purse when I’m hiking or just running around to the store. Mine’s black with gold studs, but I’m thinking of getting another one in white.
I have some suits and pants from this brand Frankie, and I seem to live in this blazer a lot of the time. I like traveling in it or throwing it on if I don’t know what to put on. It’s comfortable, not tight, and just easy. It’s not super-fancy, but I think it just looks cool. It also has so many pockets.
Lisa’s got such great style, and I trust her taste implicitly. Her jewelry has a kind of a California ’70s vibe mixed with Lisa’s eccentricity. She makes beautiful, wild, original jewelry. I don’t wear these out every day, but if I’m traveling and have to be dressed up or a little fancier in a rush, these are good to have. They make me feel strong and a little cooler.
