Every month, our professional online shoppers (aka Refinery29 editors) reveal the smartest buys across fashion, beauty, home, and more so you can see — and shop! — what we’re loving right here, right now. Sure, we love splurging on timeless pieces we’ll keep for years, but nothing beats the thrill of a steal under $100. Here are our top picks from last 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. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Cou Cou Intimates The Baby Tee
“I’ve been wearing a lot of baby tees lately — with high-waist jeans and skirts, under cardigans and blazers, etc. This one, from intimates brand Cou Cou, is my new favorite thanks to its ‘90s silhouette, delicate pointelle pattern, and 100% organic cotton fabric. Bonus: It comes with matching boy short and equally sweet cardigan.” – Irina Grechko, Global Fashion Director

Hatch Restore 1
“My sleep has dramatically improved over the last two months thanks to my bedside sidesick: the Hatch. I found the original on mega-sale at T.J. Maxx, but you can grab one on Amazon for $100 right now. The app is super customizable — white noise to drift off, chiming bells, and a warm orange sunrise to wake up. In my pitch‑black, windowless room, that 15‑minute sunrise feels so natural.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
HATCH Restore 1 (2020 Model) Grey, $, available at Amazon
Saie SuperSuede Powder Blush
“There’s always room in my makeup bag for a new blush — especially one infused with shimmer. Saie’s latest launch — a fleet of baked powdered blushes with Italian-inspired names — delivers gorgeous payoff and a satiny sparkle. My favorite is Stella, a coral-pink dream that leaves cheekbones lit from within. It melts right into skin, thanks to hydrating glycerin and squalane, and a swirl with Saie’s Powdered Blush Brush gives a diffused, skin-like finish” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Saie SuperSuede Powder Blush, $, available at Sephora
Saltair Fine Fragrance Body Mist
“I’ve just received Saltair’s new body mists, and I’m obsessed. The vanilla scent is warm and comforting without the headache-inducing sweetness I encounter in other formulas. And a TikTok tip about mists lasting longer than perfumes on some skin, I can confirm this one stays put — prepare for the scent to be wafting around me throughout long spring and summer days.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
Saltair Fine Fragrance Body Mist, $, available at Ulta Beauty
Nutribullet Pro 900
“I love my Nutribullet — for pureeing soups in the winter, whipping up smoothies in summer, and making dips all year long. After losing a few parts over the years, I snagged this sweet blue Pro model on discount at Marshalls, but both the original and Pro versions retail under $100. ” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
Nutribullet nutribullet Pro® 900, $, available at NutriBullet
Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum & Medik8 C-Tetra
“I started using these two serums together about six weeks ago, and they’ve transformed my skin — brightening and evening out my complexion (I have a horrible tendency to pick at my skin and cause scarring… I know, I know. I’m trying to stop!). Medik8’s C-Tetra (7% stabilized vitamin C + E) smells lightly of oranges and packs a punch. Charlotte Tilbury’s thicker Dark Spot Correcting Serum is a dream for dry skin, with vitamin C and algae extract to target hyperpigmentation.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer & Content Producer
Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum, $, available at Charlotte Tilbury
Medik8 C-Tetra, $, available at Medik8
Gap 100% Cotton Oversized Boyfriend Sweater
“If you haven’t been on the Gap train recently, where have you been? This 100% cotton sweater is a classic silhouette but feels current because of the oversized fit. It comes in several neutral colors — I own black and navy — and has been my go-to as the weather warms and I need less wool in the mix.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager
Gap 100% Cotton Oversized Boyfriend Sweater, $, available at Gap
MOFT Invisible Stand
“I’ve been using this laptop stand for years, and its genius design still blows me away. (It’s one of those things that’s amazing in theory but tricky to get right for the frequent traveler or work-from-coffee-shop girlie.) It sticks to the bottom of my computer, folds flat for lap use or easily fits a sleeve, and offers two adjustable heights — perfect for any surface. I’m on my second one now and will be a fan for life.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Moft Invisible Stand, $, available at Moft
Phlur Rose Whip Eau de Parfum
“Phlur has done it again with Rose Whip — a non-powdery or soapy take on the iconic scent. It bursts with honeyed black currant and osmanthus, then dries down to a musky‑spicy base of nutmeg, amber, cashmere, and musk. Expect compliments all season long.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer & Content Producer
Phlur Rose Whip Eau de Parfum, $, available at Sephora
Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick
“I hoard tinted lip balms like there’s an imminent mass shortage (to my knowledge, there isn’t), and this Neutrogena one is my current go-to. The Berry Brown shade is the prettiest warm pink nude, and the chubby crayon shape is so foolproof (I don’t need a mirror to apply!). It delivers a sheer wash of color that feels as hydrating as your favorite balm. Plus, at under $7, I can stash one in every bag.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick for Lips, $, available at Amazon
Tenswa Collapsible Foot Spa
“I’ve adopted my grandma’s weekly foot soak ritual, and it’s transformed sleep. This foot spa has a built-in pumice stone for sloughing off dead skin, multiple temperature settings, and collapses for easy storage. Nothing helps me destress faster than hot, bubbling water — especially with a few drops of eucalyptus oil. For an extra circulation boost, toss in a mugwort packet, a Chinese herb that warms and stimulates blood flow.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Tenswa Collapsible Foot Spa, $, available at Amazon
Biöm Nobs Toothpaste Tablets
“I’ve tried toothpaste tabs on and off, but Biom’s NOBS (the name nods to “no BS” ingredients) have me hooked. At $15 for 62 tablets (a month’s supply), they’re affordable, eco-friendly (coming in a refillable glass jar), and they leave my mouth feeling dentist-clean. They’re fluoride-free, but nano-hydroxyapatite strengthens and remineralizes enamel — plus, they’re perfect for travel (I pop a few in a Cadence capsule and toss in my carry-on.)” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Biöm Nobs Toothpaste Tablets, $, available at Biöm
Bask SPF 30 Mineral Fragrance-Free Non-Aerosol Spray
“I’ve had nothing but chalky, white‑cast experiences with mineral mists — until Bask. This spray blends in with barely a hint of cast, even on olive skin, and delivers high‑performance protection at under $30. I was gifted a lab sample, but trust me, I’ll be stocking up before summer.” ” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Bask SPF 30 Mineral Fragrance-Free Non-Aerosol Spray, $, available at Bask
MUJI Complete Seamless Half Top Bra
When my luggage went missing for days on a recent work trip to Paris, I panic-bought this bralette in Le Marais and am so glad I did. Under the less-than-ideal circumstances, I fell hard for the modal-spandex fabric, which softly caresses the skin while offering just the right stretch. With no seams or stitching, it lies flat under any top, and the breathable, removable cups make laundry a breeze. I’ll definitely collect this in more colors. (I’m normally a 34D and took size Large).” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Muji Complete Seamless Half Top Bra, $, available at Muji
Paula's Choice 5% Vitamin C Sheer Facial Moisturizer SPF 50
“As soon as the sun comes out, I slather this on daily. With 5% vitamin C, it brightens the skin and free radicals from UV rays and pollution — and that same) vitamin C amps up SPF performance. This formula delivers SPF 50 broad spectrum protection in a lightweight, fluid texture that doesn’t irritate my eyes or pill under makeup.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Paula's Choice 5% Vitamin C Sheer Facial Moisturizer SPF 50, $, available at Sephora
Buck Mason Surplus Rib Weekender Pant
“I was influenced to buy these lounge pants after spotting a friend wear them with a sweater and flats to work. The ribbed texture elevates the look, and the thick waistband is unbelievably comfortable (and unrestricting) — ideal for airport travel too.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager
Buck Mason Surplus Rib Weekender Pant, $, available at Buck Mason
