June was all about the savings. Supergoop!'s
cult-favorite sunscreen made a rare appearance on the clearance racks and the Olympics of sales,
Amazon Prime Day , carried the marked-down torch. The past 30+ days have been a deal-packed rollercoaster, making this edition of
Refinery29 readers' most wanted products an even wilder ride than usual — as in, there are still deals in store.
After combing through all that juicy (and anonymous!) bestselling shopping data, we cooked up the ahead top-bought June spread. It's a menu marked with
summer dress specials,
hidden Nordstrom gems , and
crowd-pleasing Father's Day gifts that are still worth your summer coin. Interested in a timely hot-weather score? There are sets of highly reviewed cooling sheets for that. How about the best breathable cotton underwear? Oh, you betcha. Click right on into a shopping list of the 29 things — some on sale, others full-price but still fantastic —that Refinery29 readers got really into this June.
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. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler
This year for Father's Day, our reader's number one last-minute pick was YETI's top-rated hard cooler. With over 3,000 reviews and a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating, we'd say it's also a top pick in the world of portable refrigerators.
"I can't rave enough about the Roadie Cooler. It's perfect to take to the beach, on car trips, camping, and canoeing. It kept everything perfectly cool. And the King Crab Orange color is so sharp looking," one super-fan put it.

74% Off Better Love Rabbit Lily
Better Love's Rabbit vibe has an almost 5-star rating (4.9 to be exact) and is a completely worth it buy according to readers who keep carting it from our sex toy review round-up — AND, of course, because of its still 74%-off sale price.

Ruffle-Detail Dress
Although the floaty summer sundress will never go out of style, it will, however, take on different silhouettes. For summer 2021, we laid our matching sweatsuits to rest and busted out an equally comfortable replacement: loose house dresses . This H&M ruffle moment comes in a myriad of colors, is only $20, and stole the hearts of our readers in June.

Maryann Organics Collagen Cream Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer
Much like Essence's $5 mascara, this collagen cream is taking over readers' Amazon carts. So much so, we dedicated an entire article to its whimsical anti-aging abilities. The moisturizer contains a trifecta of skin-plumping ingredients that includes collagen, a hyaluronic acid complex, and vitamin E that one reader boasted feels like having a "new face."

68% Off Gold Flamingo Clio Task Chair
We love any office chair that isn't an eyesore — and, apparently, so R29 readers. This bucket-shaped tufted option comes in twelve jewel-toned shades and is a consistent bestseller from our infamous office chair round-up . Reviewers rave about its glam look, super soft velvet, ease of assembly — and marked-down price tag.

Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40
So many deals, so little time. One of the biggest events of June was Supergoop!'s five-day unexpected 20% off sitewide sale event . Although practically all of the sun protection brand's products are certified cult-favorites, this classic Glow Screen SPF 40 was the top seller for June. It may not be in markdown mode now, but it's still a hot-to-shop summer essential.

ThirdLove Everyday Cotton Bikini
ThirdLove's Everyday Cotton Bikini is breathable, full-coverage, and full of rave reviews (4.6 out of 5 stars and 592 reviews). Readers snatched up tons of pairs from our cotton under Hype Machine and even so, the site still has an extensive color range fully in stock up to size 3X.

Essence Lash Princess Mascara
Essence Lash Princess made it into May's Most Wanted and it strikes again for June. R29 Readers and the Shopping team alike rave about this make-up bag staple for its $5.00 price tag, false lash effect, and volumizing abilities. It's an Amazon viral and for good reason.

33% Off Børn Beca Flat
Nordstrom rarely leads astray when it comes to fashion essentials, sometimes we even score a must-have home buy. So naturally, we corralled a line-up of the best things to buy at the online cult-favorite department store and this Børn flat rose to the top. The comfort-footwear brand usually gets high marks for foot hugs and this leather flat follows suit with a tad more luxury flair.

Summer arrived and Kosas knew just how to kick it off . The R29-beloved clean beauty commenced its limited-time 20% off sitewide sale on June 4 — with free shipping to boot — and it did not disappoint.

Astr The Label Floral Milkmaid Midi Dress
Post-quarantine summer weddings were (and still are) in full swing, but that didn't mean we knew what to wear. There's a lot to juggle when it comes to the perfect wedding guest attire — including (but not limited to) the delicate balance of working your look while ensuring you don’t outshine the bride; facing head-scratchers like the “dressy casual” dress code ; figuring out how to pack for a destination wedding that involves both sand and cobblestones. This dress is the perfect combo of casual & fancy depending on how you style it, and R29 readers ate it up.

Quince's sheet set is made of 100% organic breathable percale and the fitted sheet features extra deep pockets for easy bed making.

Blundstone BL510 Boot
After polling a hodgepodge of nearly 100 R29 writers and R29 readers, our Fashion Market writer uncovered 28 must-have shoes for traveling the globe . This pair is a bestseller and fully endorsed by an anonymous reader:
"I almost always pack Blundstones (I have them in all black) and they’re super comfy for walking around the city and also can be dressed up a little if need be. They’re my heaviest shoes. so I usually wear them on the plane but they slip on and off easily and accommodate fuzzy socks which I love. They’re also nice to have in destinations that require closed-toed shoes. Maybe I'm crazy but I wear these all year round, including in the summer!”

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips
Amazon Prime Day is such a huge event that we deem it worthy of its own Most Wanted post , which, was dominated by (no surprise here) heaps of Crest 3D Whitestrips sales. We understand these whitening treatments are a tad less attractive when full-price but hey, we're still stocking up.

Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2%
This cult-favorite miracle-working skin-clearing serum is absolutely beloved by self-professed acne sufferers and was a huge hit when it went on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Although it is no longer on sale, we still think that its Zinc, hyaluronic acid, and Vitamin E ingredients are worth the full price. Even our very own Updates Editor swears by it: "I found this niacinamide serum after searching 'how to get rid of forehead bumps' on Youtube…and let me tell you, just two weeks of use and there isn’t a forehead bump to be seen. I. Am. Serious."
