December 31, 2019DMT Beauty#DMTBeautySpot #beauty
We've got 2020 vision on the impending New Year; it's looking back at 2019 where things get a little nearsighted. But don't strain your eyes trying to relive the past 365 days, because our Shopping team editors already cataloged a highlight reel of hits for you — including the most wanted goods straight out of your very own virtual carts.
No click trickery or shop sleight-of-hand here, only the best-selling product picks sourced from Refinery29's top stories (that we pulled after analyzing 12-month's worth of anonymous reader-purchase data). From major sale events to viral trends, gift guides, and our Tried & True test series: we're talking thousands of hyped-up black leggings, a new streaming service that took our inner child by storm, sex toys that empowered us, irresistible beauty loot, savage traveler-approved plane gear, an affordable memory foam pillow that just. won't. quit. and so much more.
Join us ahead as we recap and reap the 29 bestselling fruits of the most major shopping moments in 2019.
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.

The memory-foam pillow heard round the world! This bedding essential wasn't just a top home buy from the past year, it more impressively clocked in as a most wanted purchase cross-category — beating out fashion to beauty and tech in one of the biggest sale events of the year. We're guessing it has something to do with the rave customer ratings and sweetly discounted price point...
