The 29 Most-Wanted Goods This Month — According To You
Hello again, it's us: your friendly neighborhood product enthusiasts. April is over and we're ready to checkout the goods that were trending in your expert-shopping carts over the past 30 days. Welcome to our second edition of Refinery29 Readers' Most-Wanted Items, where we cumulate the bestselling monthly products across the web according to you — and your friends, and your friends' friends.
Just as we analyzed March's shopping data to craft an optimized product guide of the most-purchased goods from top R29 stories, we lined up the fresh new hit-list ahead for April — filled with favorite audience-approved buys only, from beauty to fashion and home. Did your beloved pair of spring sandals, that luxe velvet quilt, or cult under-$5 highlighter from the past rainy month make the cart-cut? Scroll on to see (and shop) for yourself.
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. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
