April was a month of surprises. Love Is Blind‘s Friday night premieres spurred more “I’m staying in :/” texts than ever before. Californians begrudgingly discovered windshield wipers. And New Yorkers actually took time off work to frolic outside on 80-degree days. But according to our anonymous shopping data, there was one thing climate and Love Is Blind couldn’t change: Refinery29 readers’ top-bought product picks.
The upcoming slides feature more classic R29 reader-favorite buys than ever before. We’re talking Lelo’s “clitorally-mindblowing” Sona 2 Cruise, Onyx Professionals’ tried-and-true nail strengthening cream, Wayfair’s perpetually 70% off cooling pillow, and more oldies but goodies. Hey, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That being said, our slew of editors’ picks — from vetted Amazon gems to Sephora sale must-haves — introduced a new wave of best-sellers that, quite frankly, feel like classics already.
Score a few new reader best sellers but keep a few dollars to restock the old… or however the saying goes, ahead.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Sephora’s spring sale made quite a good impression on R29 readers — especially our Senior Affiliate Strategist’s highlighter stick pick. She admittedly “[fangirls] over anything Westman Atelier,” and therefore scored another one for half the price. Though the sale is over, according to a slew of on-site reviews, it’s worth buying a full price.

Who would’ve thought a somewhat boring and practical purchase would wind its way into so many readers’ carts. Clearly what I wrote in our round-up resonated with readers: “I will pay $6 for peace of mind any day.
