If you gravitate towards something between a lip balm and a matte lip stain, we present to you Merit’s new lip product, which Beauty Director Jacqueline Kilikita describes as a “sheer, matte lipstick with a moisturizing balm-like feel.” Several readers carted up this lippie from Merit’s website and Sephora throughout the month.
We’ve officially entered “goth girl spring” and that means leather jackets will be the unexpected go-to layer. And already, this Agolde style has garnered the attention of R29 readers. The cinched waist and peplum-like hem add a feminine flair to a typically boxy or stiff silhouette.
With notes of cardamom, citrus, masala chai, milk, and sandalwood, this Prada fragrance has been vetted by Senior Beauty Writer Karina Hoshikawa as one of her top perfume picks of 2026. She says: “It lingers all day long, and dries down to a cozy, woody scent that has a nostalgic feel to it,” and readers clearly like the sound (and smell) of that.

Mother The Reifler Jean
Straight-leg and cigarette jeans have been declared a major 2026 denim trend, and readers are already taking that info and running with it. These ‘70s- and ‘80s-inspired Mother jeans — “with a straight leg with a bit of a kick” — were a top-performer for February.
It’s clear that Jacqueline Kilikita’s glowing review of Summer Fridays’ new lip stains convinced our readers to cart some up too, because it was the top-purchased beauty product in February. Praised for its easy application, moisture, and long-lasting formula, this $22 stain-meets-tint-meets-liner is an easy yes. (The brand’s Essential Lip Kit was also a favorite.)

Luxe fragrance brand Le Labo dropped a new perfume in February, described as: “Powdery violet, lush rose, all-encompassing incense, and heady patchouli make it a scent that demands attention, while delicate white tea and creamy cedarwood linger softly on the skin as the day goes on.” And if you run into any R29 readers on the street, you may just smell it in person.

Lelo’s luxe sex toys were certainly a February favorite because of the brand’s month-long Valentine’s Day sale, but guess what? The popular Sona 3 Cruise vibe is still on sale for 25% off. The bestselling clitoral massager has several intensity levels and can be synced with the Lelo app for more modes and long-distance play.

And from the looks of our shopping data, it seems that many readers wanted to experience the product for themselves too.

TikTok-Viral, editor-approved, and reader-purchased, this new YSL mascara needs to be in everyone’s makeup bags. “I let out an ‘ooh!’ when I swiped this on for the first time, because it really did cling to my lashes as promised,” says Jacqueline Kilikita, while Karina Hoshikawa adds: “It’s basically a lash lift in a tube."

Finally, the moment to shop Chanel’s spring 2026 collection is here. What makes this drop so special? Well, it’s the debut release from the newly appointed creative director Matthieu Blazy, aka the talented designer behind several viral accessories that have defined the last decade.
Of course, Chanel has always been a household name, thanks to its Classic Flap Bag 11.12 created by Karl Lagerfeld and the reissue of 2.55, a design crafted by Madame Coco Chanel herself. But the maison has reached a new internet-breaking level of fame that was all over social media this weekend. I saw fashion editors swarming the Chanel store in Paris during Fashion Week, pining over which cap-toe pumps to buy. I saw influencers lugging the jumbo emotional support bags over their shoulders. And I saw shoppers lined up outside of stores patiently waiting to get their hands on the buzzy collection.
“Truthfully, I have not seen this level of demand for a new Chanel collection in the 8 years that I have been sourcing,” says Gab Waller, the internet’s favorite fashion sourcing expert and founder of Sourcedby. “Spring/summer ’19 I vividly remember coming close, but this is unprecedented. What I find to be most interesting (and exciting!) is that I’m receiving inbound requests from clients that have not previously been Chanel buyers, despite being strong buyers for other luxury brands.”
Of course, the escalating excitement didn’t just happen overnight. The hype has been building since Chanel’s October presentation. “What’s been interesting to watch is the timing of that demand,” says Erica Wright, founder of Sourcewhere. “There was early interest immediately after the runway show, but what we’re seeing now is a real surge following the first releases arriving in boutiques this week. Matthieu Blazy is a master of materials, and seeing the pieces photographed in stores, rather than just on the runway, really brings that to life. Once clients can see the textures and proportions up close — and how the pieces exist beyond the runway — demand tends to accelerate quickly.”
Waller’s DMs are constantly flooded with sold-out product requests, from limited-edition suitcases to impossible-to-find jewels. Some of her returning clients are gushing over the Parisian brand’s latest drop. “For the first time, Chanel excites me and there are pieces I want to buy.” That’s a common phrase, Waller is reading in many DMs.
So what are the exact pieces causing such a frenzy? Well, the accessories are a home run. As expected, shoppers are making room in their closets for the oversized handbags and the two-tone pumps and the textured, multi-print flats.
“The pieces generating the earliest demand are the pony hair printed flats and heels, which were among the first requests we received after the collection debuted,” says Wright. “There’s also significant interest in the oversized maxi flap bag — particularly the version seen on A$AP Rocky — which has quickly become a standout accessory from the collection.
Waller confirms that her DMs are especially flooded with requests to source the maxi flap bag — in all three colors. “It’s the bag that a lot of my clients have referred to as the HB (Hailey Bieber) bag,” explains Waller.
If you prefer a smaller, easy to throw on and go bag, “The black shoulder style, recently worn by Margot Robbie, is also seeing very strong demand,” Waller explains. It also has the quilted stitching that Chanel has become known and loved for.
“For shoes, the croc-embossed styles are proving to come through as the number one most requested at present,” says Waller. Those are available at boutiques in both a flat style for everyday wear and heels that can be dressed up or down.
Like Wright mentioned, “The pony hair ballet flats are also soaring in demand,” adds Waller. “A number of my celebrity clients purchased the shoes, which will arrive with them this coming week. My DMs are going to be shaking once they’re spotted wearing them!”
This is, no doubt, another history-making moment for the house of Chanel. It’s only a matter of time before the coveted pieces are sold out. You can head to your nearest boutique to start shopping or get a quick fix by shopping the eyewear that’s available to purchase online, below.
