August Bestsellers: 29 Items That Soothed R29 Readers’ End-Of-Summer Scaries

There are Sunday scaries, and then there are August scaries. IFYKYK. Fall fashion newsletters are exciting but overwhelming. The hot weather we yearned for suddenly feels hellish. And Starbucks grim-reaps summer with its annual fall menu reveal. It's a 31-day hodgepodge of fall excitement and summer mourning. But there's a cure to such formidable cognitive dissonance: online shopping.

So we're a tad biased; we get it. But we crunched the numbers (from our anonymous shopping data) and analyzed Refinery29 readers' top-bought products from the month. What did we see? Some of you holding onto summer with billowy dresses and cooling sheets; others saying goodbye with structured blazers and cozy couches. Whether you're suffering in the heat or dreading the cold, we can all agree on one thing: August is as confusing as it gets. Scroll on for August's 29 bestselling products — from brand-new sex toys to trendy ring watches to tinted moisturizers — perfect for surviving August scaries, according to you, Refinery29 readers.

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.

August welcomed Glossier's first-ever foundation: Stretch Fluid. The product features 32 shades and five undertones (neutral, pink, golden, red, and peach).

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Kilikita felt a tad underwhelmed by its lightweight formula. Regardless, 'twas a bestseller among Refinery29 readers and a cult-favorite find among Glossier reviewers.

We Found 27 Styles That Make The Best Work Dresses

Sure, we’ve been going to work all summer long, but there’s something about September that signals a fresh start. Maybe it’s the back-to-school buzz, the slight shift in the weather, or the business-core trend. Whatever the reason, a fresh start creates an excuse to freshen up our closets — especially our back-to-school-office attire. That’s why we’ve narrowed down the styles that we think make the best work dresses.

From sweater dresses to shirt dresses, we’re sharing the most stylish and comfortable work dresses that you’ll actually want to wear to the office. They’re modern versions of traditional work dresses that’ll have you feeling confident without being even a little stuffy. Style the dresses below with a versatile blazer and an office-ready bag, and get to work.

Midi Dresses

Midi dresses thrive at the office. Not too short and not too long, the calf-grazing style is perfect for pairing with everything from ballet flats and heels to loafers and boots. Details like leg slits, decorative buttons, and puff sleeves spare you from mundanity. (You’ll also notice that many of the styles below are midi length!)

Sweater Dress

Get ready for falling temps with a classic sweater dress (or a bold colorblocked one). Consider turtleneck or mock-neck styles for a covered-up look on the coldest days. Wear them as-is or with your favorite tights and ankle boots for an extra-cozy, office-appropriate look.

Wrap Dresses

Warp dresses are workday go-tos. The flattering A-line silhouette and adjustable waist tie make it a comfortable work dress we can get behind, and it comes in a range of fabrics, such as silk jersey, vegan leather, and ribbed cotton. But we couldn’t help but add a discounted style from Diane von Furstenberg, the creator of the wrap dress.

Fit-&-Flare Dresses

Boho dresses are back (which we love), and many come in sophisticated fit-and-flare silhouettes. Whether you want a defined waist or a subtle flare at the hip, there are tons of fit-and-flare styles for different body shapes and office dress codes.

Shift Dress

If you prefer mini dresses but don’t know how to make them work-appropriate, consider a shift dress. The mini’s modest counterpart isn’t curve-hugging, so it offers a looser, boxier silhouette. Choose between modern details like plissé pleats and peekaboo backs or more traditional ones like short sleeves and decorative buttons.

Shirt Dresses

Shirt dresses have become a go-to work dress. They’re not just a longer version of a white button-down shirt. They come in all sorts of colors, prints, fabrics, and sleeve and hem lengths. Opt for form-fitted or flowy styles, and try adding a belt to really pull your look together.

Hion Anti-Motion Sickness Smart Glasses


These glasses look pretty goofy, but hear me out: they were the only thing that kept me from retching during a painfully long ride to the Hamptons through NYC traffic. The movement of the blue liquid creates the illusion of a horizon in the corner of my eyes, making me feel a lot less dizzy when I get motion sickness. Don't knock it till you try it." — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment


"I don’t love saccharine-sweet fruity flavors (I'm partial to the caramel-flavored PLT), but Rhode's interpretation pleasantly surprised me. It doesn’t taste like artificial strawberry, as I feared, but rather like very fancy, possibly French, strawberry jam. It may have looked the same on as the other flavors, but in my soul, I felt like a total Strawberry Girl. (You can also layer it over a cherry-red lip tint for extra points here.) While it's sold out for now, there's plenty of other TikTok-approved flavors to choose from." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

"My newest obsession? Slime, slime, slime! If you haven’t delved deep into the TikTok sensation that is slime videos, let me explain the appeal in two words: Sensory heaven. There’s nothing like hyper-focusing on playing with some slime, whether it's soft or crunchy, fluffy or fizzy. For me, nothing hits like Sloomoo Institute’s Something Blue with its irresistible scent and crunchy texture. I couldn’t recommend it enough. I’m obsessed." — Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer

Hydro Flask 40 oz All Around Travel Tumbler


"Water bottles with handles and an exterior straw never really interested me; I’m more for a Nalgene type with no frills that is easily washed. But recently, I got this big boy tumbler in the prettiest blue and I kinda dig it as a house water bottle, kinda like house slippers, just for inside the home. The tumbler is very convenient because 1. It holds a lot of liquid, be it watermelon juice or water, for fewer trips to my sink (NYC tap water is great), and 2. The handle is a good size for my hand. The bottle, while large, is very easy to clean as the straw bit comes off in easily washable parts to prevent gross buildup, plus it’s dishwasher-safe too!" — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

"I tried Euphoria’s makeup artist’s line for the first time in July after seeing it over and over again on TikTok, and I’m obsessed. I wore the Half Magic liquid matte eyeshadow in this beautiful lavender shade and used two face pearls on each eye for the TWICE concert. I was so so shocked to see that both products lasted perfectly all night. So, these aren’t just gorgeous, they’re also long-lasting and high-quality." — Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer

As someone who finds packing super-stressful — but is also a chronic procrastinator — this organizer feature has been a godsend.

"The magnetic compact (with a built-in mirror) is total genius (not to mention practical), and the star-shaped patches aren't just adorable but also help adhere to the shape of your zit. However, one of the best things about pimple patches is that they physically prevent the wearer from picking — and the more you can encourage people to wear them (aka, make them cute), the better. For $15, you can get 32 patches plus the refillable case, which I think is pretty well-priced." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Laniege Lip Mask


"One night with a little of this slathered on was enough to make my lips buttery smooth and a lot less flaky. (That'll be the hyaluronic acid.) Sure, it's pricier compared to your standard pot of Vaseline, but it doesn’t leave the same sticky residue that I sometimes experience. This means you won’t wake up to hair stuck to your lips — the worst feeling. Plus, it makes me feel fancy having a special, yummy-smelling pot of goodness to finish off my evening routine with. So far, the fruity flavors Mango and Berry are my favorites." —Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer

"It's been over a year since the internet went wild for the TikTok-famous "soul snatcher," aka the rose vibrator. (And with good reason.) The power on this little thing is, frankly, insane. Though the toy claims to have sensations that range from 'warm lips sucking' to 'toe-curling,' I found that it leaned far to the latter for my own taste. After one earth-shattering orgasm, I couldn't use it for a second orgasm because I was too swollen and sensitive to even try." —Charlotte Lewis, Sex & Wellness Writer

"The Damp Duster is damp, and it dusts. Jokes aside, I'm thoroughly impressed by how I swiped the top of my fridge three times and could see my hand's reflection in it after 30 seconds. Where was this when I scrambled to clean the kitchen last minute upon hearing my mom come home after work as a kid? Where was this when I feather-dusted my windows and sneezed a good seven times? Where was this when the thought of dusting all the surfaces in my apartment made me go take a nap instead? I officially have no excuses not to dust more." —Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Writer

Valentino Twin Liner Gel & Liquid Eyeliner


"I am legitimately shocked at how good the Valentino liner is. Not only was it easy to apply, but — to quote the great American poet Taylor Swift, it draws a 'cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.' It made me feel instantly bolstered and badass, like I could do anything I wanted. I even ran my finger across the lid to see if it would smudge or budge, and that liner was solid. No movement whatsoever. In fact, a full day later and several handwashings, the pencil liner has long worn off my hand but the liquid end still remains (slightly faded down and a bit worn, but there nonetheless). I'm going to have to attack it with micellar water later to finally remove it." —Charlotte Lewis, Sex & Wellness Writer

Ninja Creami


"I'm giving the Ninja Creami a strong two thumbs-up. TikTok calls it a kitchen essential for summer, and while I don't know that I need the Creami, I certainly enjoyed using it. The novelty of making icy treats with just a few simple steps did genuinely feel as easy as counting to three. Functional? Absolutely. Easy to use? Most definitely. Easy to clean? 100%. Though I found it fun to use in a multitude of ways, I do think it shines most for people who have dietary restrictions that prevent them from enjoying ice cream. By controlling exactly what goes into the base, it's especially useful for those who can't have dairy or sugar (it's really popped off in the bariatric community), and helps them enjoy ice cream in a new way." —Charlotte Lewis, Sex & Wellness Writer

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original


"As a longtime acne-haver and professional beauty person, I've been around the block when it comes to sussing out what actually works to clear my skin from what doesn't do much of anything. One tried-and-true pimple product that I personally swear by is Hero Cosmetics' Mighty Patch Original, a clear hydrocolloid dot that draws out gunk from pores for quick healing. In short, the stuff works — and insanely effing well, might I add." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

PinkCherry From A Distance Remote Panty Vibrator


"There are many appeals to the vibrating panty. First and foremost, secret pleasure. Discreet public play adds a layer of danger: The risk of being caught increases sensations. Exhibitionism is a popular kink for a reason. Users also love being able to hand off control to a partner, so they never know where, when, or what kind of stimulation will come their way. What I realized [while using the panty vibrator] is that getting off in public spaces isn't for me, but that's fine. Because I learned that I enjoyed building anticipation more than enough. Just having a sexy secret brought my arousal to a new exciting level that I really loved." —Charlotte Lewis, Sex & Wellness Writer

Crocs Classic Clog


"Honestly, I could pen an ode specifically to Crocs and Jibbitz charms. At this point, they've reached cult-like status and are borderline unhinged — in the best way possible. While Crocs has an extremely extensive selection of official Jibbitz charms (including ones part of fire collabs with the likes of iconic brands like Peeps & Coca-Cola, not to mention celeb fans like SZA and Post Malone) the "bootleg" market has created a landscape where just about any cartoon character and pop culture motif has gotten the Jibbitz treatment. And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.  (Side note: Since Crocs are so buoyant and breathable, I actually think they are the best beach shoe — also, they are super easy to clean.)" —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Baby Foot Original Foot Peel Exfoliator


"The Baby Foot, the myth, the legend. I've been a Baby Foot loyalist for years now — and, honestly, every other foot peel out there comes second fiddle. I can barely remember when my last salon pedicure was, but if you're on the fence about going into the spa, then this peel is a formidable foe against calluses and generally lackluster feet. I like to pop the serum-soaked booties on and queue up some Netflix; one hour later, rinse off and play a fun waiting game that lasts four to six days. After which, you'll begin to notice flakes and/or sheets of skin peeling off and leaving behind a layer of fresh, supple foot skin." —Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

"As someone with short, stubby, and pin-straight lashes, I was thoroughly impressed by how much the product fanned out my lashes and emphasized them without clumping up. The comb-like straight brush is very easy to use, and the product comes right off with a makeup remover wipe, unlike other volumizing mascaras that required a lot of tugging (and loss of lashes) to thoroughly rinse off." —Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

"I'm uncultured in the realm of IG-baddie couture, but the Skims TikTok viral maxi dress has to be one of the best ones. [It's like] a sexy tube sock in the dress’s ability to create curves that, because of my narrow hips, don’t actually exist, as well as the way it manages to be both abnormally stretchy and completely opaque.

I saw people using this flawless filter and insisting it doesn't give texture but will make you GLOW. Although expensive, I decided to try it and I LOVEEEEE IT! I put this on before my concealer and tinted moisturizer, or, honestly, sometimes I wear it alone and it makes me actually excited to do my makeup because you don't need to be an expert to use this product. It's easy to apply and makes me shine in a sun-kissed, just-got-home-from-the-beach kind of way which I love." —Lexy White, Digital Coordinator

What sold me was seeing the creator wear these socks with all different types of shoes that I also regularly wear. I bought two packs of the black-and-white set and you know what? I love them! I will say they're a bit plushier than some of my narrow shoes will allow, but length-wise these are exactly what I was looking for: They come up just above the ankle to be a little dorky, but not SO high that they make my short legs look even shorter." —Jinnie Lee, Freelance Fashion Writer

It's so flattering, super comfortable, and surprisingly supportive on my 38H breasts. I could buy a million of these!" —Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer

OXO Good Grips Large Salad Spinner


"Ok, this wasn't an ‘I need this right now’ moment, but watching Emily Mariko soothingly clean her farmers market vegetables often reminds me of kitchen essentials that I'm lacking, like this salad spinner. I don't think I've used a salad spinner since living at my parent's house over 10 years ago, but I eat a lot of salad, and washing and drying lettuce by hand can get annoying. I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it you've got the cabinet space and love a leafy green." —Kate Spencer, Affiliate Strategist
