Before we bid May and its infamous Justin Timberlake memes adieu, let’s take a walk down last month’s shopping memory lane. The R29 product enthusiasts are back with another round of, "what’s trending in your cart?" — a.k.a. Refinery29 Readers’ Most Wanted Items — a series where we highlight the bestselling monthly products across the web according to you expert shoppers.
After analyzing shopping data from the last 30 days and pulling the most purchased goods from top R29 stories, we created an optimized product guide filled with already audience-approved buys across multiple categories. Scroll ahead to discover new fashion to home and beauty favorites that you may not have shopped before — or just to find out if that new summer swimsuit, color-changing Starbucks’ cup, or shave subscription kit from your, " it’s gonna be MAY," cart made the cut.
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.
