Sunny Hostin doesn’t mix business with pleasure. The View cohost has two phones, one of which has a case with a doodle of herself, drawn by artist Brooke Hagel on it. “Joy Behar and I [kept] picking up each other’s phones,” says the host of ID’s Truth About Murder With Sunny Hostin. “Now, I know which one belongs to me.”
Hostin, 51, reveals the rest for Us.
Send Nudes
“Kim Kardashian sent me a whole bunch of her KKW Beauty nude lipsticks. They’re fantastic.”
Read Like the Wind
“I’m a voracious reader. I’m reading Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell. My husband [Emmanuel] told me about it.”
Thinking Cap
“I never travel without a Panama hat. Whenever I go to Puerto Rico, I go to the same shop, Olé. The last one I got has special significance — I went there to report right after Hurricane Maria.”
Mint Condition
“I’m fastidious about my teeth. I travel with this Cocofloss that I love, a toothbrush and Rembrandt toothpaste.”
Sustainable Sip
“There’s a metal straw in here. It’s a habit that, thankfully, I got my kids [Gabriel, 17, and Paloma, 13] into as well.”
Face Value
“The Make-Up International SuperMatte AntiShine is an industry secret. It’ll take the shine away all day.”
