July was all about soaking up sunshine… And shopping. The midsummer month marked a high point for major sales that rival the holiday season. With Amazon Prime Day followed by Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and all the competing events that popped up in between, our virtual carts were chock-full of most wanted deals. Let’s recap:
Ahead are the 29 goods that were shopped most by Refinery29 readers over the past 31 days; from teeth-whitening strips purchased over 1,000 times to cult-favorite beauty sets that completely sold out and fashion essentials made to transition into fall. And while not all of the items are available for their formerly discounted prices, there are still a handful you can snag for a steal. Scroll on to scope out the hottest buys from summer’s hottest shopping month.
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.
