Searching for a fresh trend before it catches fire (and subsequently sells out) is, as Cher Horowitz put it, like searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie…A.k.a. impossible. While we can’t always predict the next big thing to buy, we can catalog the best big things that are actually shoppable now. With a little help from our weekly column, The Sell-Out, we pulled together the top-selling products from the past year that are no longer sold out.
Instead of suggesting purchase alternatives, ahead we’re delivering the real-deal trends that you can finally get your hands on — no restocks or waitlists necessary. Scroll on to shop 29 fire-catching finds from the most figure-flattering one-piece swimwear to viral rainbow-flecked rings, Cardi B’s lipstick shade, the comfiest pair of French-girl heels, glowing sunscreen sticks, commuter backpacks, and more, along with the reasons why they sold out in the first place.
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.
The Cardi B Lipstick
The iconic collab between lipstick legend Tom Ford and musical master Cardi B brought us this cool-blue, custom shade that originally sold out within three hours time — but, lucky for us fans, the sleek shade is now back in stock.
Tom Ford Boys & Girls Lip Color – The Girls (Cardi/Sheer), $36, available at Nordstrom
The Bauble Bar Ring
This best-selling rainbow ring is a stackable statement piece with bright accessorizing power — and with hundreds of purchase approvals across Instagram and the brand’s site, it’s no wonder the piece originally sold out in three days time.
BaubleBar Alidia Ring, $44, available at BaubleBar
BaubleBar Mini Alidia Ring, $44, available at BaubleBar
The Everlane Oxfords
Never underestimate the timeless style-power of a classic pair of Italian-leather shoes — especially when Everlane is involved. The brand’s wildly popular Modern Oxford’s once boasted a waitlist of 6,500 people. And since a smart, well-made Oxford will never go out of style, good on you for finding them now.
Everlane The Modern Oxford – Cognac, $168, available at Everlane
The Frank Body Face Scrub
It’s hard to believe a body scrub could generate a buzz big enough to motivate 5,000 beauty-hungry shoppers to wait in line (or online) to purchase — but Frank Body did just that with its limited-edition Green Tease scrub made from caffeine and antioxidant-infused green tea, honey, avocado oil, ginger, licorice root, and energizing coffee-seed oil.
Frank Body Green Tease Body Scrub, $19.95, available at Ulta Beauty
The Ultracor Star-Print Leggings
The viral drop on these star-studded workout leggings made from 8-way stretch, silky-soft compression fabric initially caused an over 500-person waitlist ruckus.

The By Terry Cream Blush
Just in time for welcoming the warm weather, this hit cream-based blush with its dreamy marshmallow-like texture is fully stocked and ready for the taking after completely selling out last summer.

The Smith & Cult Mascara
The hunt for the perfect mascara can end here, because Smith & Cult’s iconic Lash Dance — with its hourglass-shaped brush, fluffy bristles, and promise of full-feathered lashes that won’t flake — is back in stock, baby.
Smith & Cult Lash Dance Mascara – Radio Silence (0.5 fl oz.), $28, available at DermStore
The Ban.do Mental Health Necklace
Stylish lifestyle brand Ban.do not only delivers on affirmational planners, but it also brilliantly touches mental health support too — its Bring Change To Mind nameplate-necklace collaboration (that originally sold out in 12 hours flat) donates all proceeds to the non-profit organization that serves to end the stigma around and discrimination against mental illness.
Bando Depression Necklace, $48, available at Bando
The Peach & Lily Resurfacing Mask
A face-mask that sells out in minutes must work complexion miracles — and that’s exactly what Peach & Lily’s back-in-stock resurfacing product is reported to do with its soothing, lightweight jelly-like formula that smoothes, brightens, and rids skin of clogged pores after one use.
Peach and Lily Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask, $43, available at Ulta Beauty
The Trademark Gingham Tote
Summer’s bag mascot is a simple but painfully chic gingham tote that Trademark couldn’t seem to keep in stock last season — but lucky for us and our sundresses, this machine-washable and picnic-friendly bag is back for last hurrah. If you fancy this one, you better scoop it up fast — Trademark designers Pookie and Louisa Burch have decided this season would be their last.
Trademark Small Gingham Grocery Tote, $98, available at Need Supply Co
The Sol de Janeiro Glow Oil

The Wildfang Coveralls

The Snowe Home Bathrobe

The Supergoop! Sunscreen Stick
With spring comes summer and then sun, which means we need to stock up on the ‘screen — thankfully, Supergoop!’s travel-friendly glow stick with its unique non-greasy dry oil formula in SPF 50 is no longer sold out across the world-wide-web.
Supergoop! Glow Stick Sunscreen SPF 50 (1.23 oz.), $25, available at DermStore
The Richer Poorer Boxers
Looking for a pair of underwear you can (and actually want) to live in? Look no further than Richer Poorer’s Femme Boxers and Bralette — the super-soft 100% cotton blend set originally sold out in just ten days time, reportedly tripling the site’s average weekly sales.

The Harper Wilde Strapless Bra
Let’s all just admit it: strapless bras suck. Unless, of course, they’re Harper Wilde’s 6,000 person waitlist and rave-reviewed Flex-model that costs just $35 and offers a wide range of cushy support.
Harper Wilde The Flex, $35, available at Harper Wilde
The Under $5 Essence Highlighter
This makeup selling-sensation was once completely wiped clean from drugstore shelves for two major reasons: it’s a luminous highlighter and it’s under $5.
Essence Pure Nude Cosmolighter, $4.99, available at Ulta Beauty
The Magical Eloquii Jeans
Jeans are polarizing, period — so the fact that this cropped, flared, and ruffled Eloquii pair caused a multi-sell-out frenzy means one thing and one thing only: they’re magic pants.
Eloquii Drama Ruffle Jean, $89.95, available at Eloquii
The Under $7 Face Serum
Hyaluronic acid is a complicated term that essentially means a naturally-occurring compound that attracts moisture to dry, winter-weary skin — and beauty brand The Ordinary crafted an under $7 serum blended with B5 that understandably sold out liquidity-quick, but has finally returned to digital-shelves.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum, $6.8, available at Sephora
