The Best Things R29 Editors Bought Last Month — All Under £50

Not to freak you out or anything, but we are officially more than halfway through 2025. Summer is firmly underway, and that means our editors are busy having fun in the sun (with our SPF slathered on) — and, of course, looking good while doing it. When it comes to summer essentials, a few things come to mind: sweat-proof makeup, sun protection (in the form of sunscreens, hats and more), holiday-ready ‘fits and accessories, all of which figured heavily in our editors’ order histories last month. And now, we’re spilling all in our monthly favourites column.

As we do without fail, we’re presenting the best products (and general life-enhancing things) Refinery29 editors shopped and loved — (almost) all coming in under £50. The price point hits a sweet spot of quality and affordability, and as you know, we’re all for buying fewer, better things we plan to keep for years to come. Without further ado, keep clicking to peruse the most exciting purchases to blow up the group chat (and company Slack channels) from the month of June.
