If you can believe it, the summer is already more than halfway behind us, and with August here, it’ll soon be time to start thinking about your back to school and general fall shopping (eek!). But before you get caught up planning for the future, take a trip down memory lane with us: We’ve rounded up 20 top Amazon items HuffPost readers couldn’t stop buying last month, and you’re going to want many of them ASAP and year-round.July’s top products are an intriguing mix of categories. People gravitated toward high-end makeup, teeth-whitening toothpastes, charging devices, pain relief remedies and much, much more. Curious what everyone else has been loving this past month? Take a scroll below, and introduce yourself to your next favorite purchase.An undereye brightener that works miracles for the sleep-deprivedLourdes Avila Uribe/HuffPost, Lourdes Avila Uribe/HuffPostSenior shopping writer Lourdes Uribe previously wrote about Catrice's under-eye brightener as one of her editor's picks. Best of all, it’s only $6, an absolute steal."If, like me, you suffer from dark under-eye circles, then this is an incredible tool in your arsenal," Uribe wrote. "It's a brightener that not only helps to lighten dark circles, but can give eyes a more open, awake look. I wear it on its own or layered under concealer on especially tragic days. It's really lightweight and has a smooth finish that stays put without creasing. I love it on days when I don't want to wear makeup but need to perk up my overall appearance. It honestly takes years off my face and is a must for anyone with babies and small kids. It's available in four shades, and is formulated with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter."An under-$20 wireless "jelly bra" that solves so many common bra problemsFor a garment that's meant to provide support, the experience of wearing a bra can be a deeply uncomfortable one. That's likely why our coverage of this wireless Cocomarts "jelly bra" continues to intrigue readers — not only is the under-$20 price attractive, but reviewers are calling it "literally the softest, most comfortable garment I have ever put on my body." No more poking, weird gaps, riding up or so many other common issues people have with wearing bras.The bra's design swaps underwires for W-shaped jelly strips to provide support and lift while remaining flexible with a barely-there feel. This is a bra that puts comfort first, with thick adjustable straps and breathable, semi-fixed pads, but it doesn't sacrifice fashion for function. The bra has a pretty scalloped design that sets it apart, and comes in a few fun colorways, like leopard print and pink, in addition to classic neutrals. Get it in sizes S-4XL. (The brand also has a ton of other styles with a similar jelly design.)Alex Aronson/HuffPostA sturdy metal pill organizer one writer can personally vouch forHuffPost contributor Alex Aronson previously wrote about this travel pill organizer with seven stackable compartments for each day of the week, saying, “When I first ordered it, I worried the compartments wouldn’t be large enough to hold all my pills, but that concern disappeared as soon as it arrived. For reference, I tested it using the largest pills I own — fiber supplements — and a single compartment held an impressive 12 pills.”He continued, “Crafted from durable aluminum alloy, the case feels sturdy and well-made. Each compartment locks securely into place with a threaded screw-top design. The rubber O-ring gaskets are a nice bonus, creating a tight seal that helps keep moisture, dust and UV rays away from your medication.” You can even customize the case for shorter trips by unscrewing days you don’t need and leaving them behind. Get the case in six different colors.AmazonClinique's Almost Lipstick tinted balm in the shade Black HoneyClinique's Black Honey has stood the test of time and remained an iconic makeup staple for many. At one point in time, it kept selling out, making it nearly impossible for anyone to secure a precious tube. The "Almost Lipstick" formula is a tinted balm that's ultra moisturizing and leaves an emollient-rich, sheer finish with the perfect kiss of color. We can personally vouch for it being worth the money, after five HuffPosters tested it out and documented our findings. We were so impressed, we decided to give it a HuffPost Shopping Award.AmazonOur beauty reporter’s favorite brow product — for just $10HuffPost senior shopping writer Tessa Flores is a fan of this L’Oréal Paris Faux Brow pen, which she previously reviewed as the “closest thing to real-looking eyebrow hairs that I’ve ever seen.” “The L’Oréal Faux Brow pen is unlike pencils, gels or brow powders that kind of create just a generically filled-in look on brows, which works fine if you don’t have sparse brows or bald patches. Instead, the brow pen accurately mimics hair strokes, creating a very convincing effect that blends imperceptibly with your existing brow hairs — or creates a new brow altogether,” Flores wrote.She added that the application is intuitive and allows for precise control over where you add hairs, plus it stays in place all day. “I can rub harshly, spend hours sweating, I can even run my brows under water, and the delicate hair strokes remain intact, without any smudging or product bleeding into the surrounding skin,” Flores wrote. She noted, however, that it comes off easily with her daily facial cleanser, so you’re not stuck with the makeup when you want to take it off. You can try the pen in seven shades.AmazonA tube of pink toothpaste one reviewer called "oven cleaning for your mouth"Where Crest 3D Whitestrips used to rule the day, HuffPost readers are now looking at other teeth whitening products, like this Euthymol toothpaste, which comes in a fun pink shade but works hard to whiten. The formula contains 1,000 ppm fluoride to prevent cavities, can eliminate bad breath and can also deliver visibly brighter teeth in as little as three days (one reviewer even claimed his teeth were seven shades whiter in just a week).AmazonAn Urban Decay waterproof eyeliner pencilOur fourth makeup product to crack the top 10 (a rarity for these monthly lists) is Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On waterproof eyeliner pencil. I do think this product’s popularity this month was motivated by extended Prime Day sales, which dropped the pencil’s price by nearly $10, but there’s a reason Urban Decay is such a mainstay in the beauty world.As our previous coverage noted, reviewers love this formula for gliding easily over mature eyelids without emphasizing wrinkles or settling into fine lines. It also stays put, promising transfer-proof wear for up to 16 hours, but has a forgiving, blendable formula that you can use as eyeliner or eyeshadow. Try it out for yourself in 23 shades.AmazonThis hidden-gem cordless vacuum that “pulls dirt like a Dyson”It is a truth universally acknowledged that HuffPost readers are must be in want of a vacuum that performs like a Dyson without the hefty price tag. Enter this KARDV cordless stick vac, which reviewers say “pulls dirt like a Dyson” and is currently on sale for below $90, a deal you don’t want to miss. The vacuum has two cleaning modes and can run for up to 60 minutes on one charge, while also boasting a generous 1.5-liter dust cup and a smart LED display that gives you all the important info at a glance. The vacuum also comes with an anti-tangle roller brush and a couple other attachment to suck up all the dirt, dust and debris with ease.AmazonA nano-hydroxyapatite whitening toothpaste that’s great for sensitive teethAmazonA cooling, plush mattress topper that can soothe aches and painsGive your back a break with this mattress topper that we covered at the end of June for its plush feel that can provide relief from a firm mattress if you have an achy back, hips or shoulders. It’s also cooling for hot sleepers — not to mention still on sale, with a queen size topper costing just $60 right now. One reviewer wrote, ““Our mattress is way too firm for me and was waking up with sore shoulders and arms every night. After last night…no pain! This thing is incredibly comfortable and I would definitely recommend ordering.”AmazonThis handy Mason jar cold brew pitcher for cafe-level drinks at homeSkip the coffee shop and level up your at-home cold brew with this handy Mason jar pitcher that we wrote about in mid-July. Available in four colors, the glass pitcher is airtight and leakproof with a 2-quart capacity and is made with a dishwasher-safe, durable glass construction. The easy-pour spout and comfortable grip handle make this perfect to store your morning cold brew, homemade lemonade or more. AmazonHear us out: A vulva balm that can help with a symptom of agingIf you’re dealing with vulvar dryness as a symptom of aging, you’re not alone: Our coverage of this vulva balm that aims to relieve dryness, irritation and itching was pretty popular this month. We asked a gynecologist how this works, who told us that the beeswax, propolis and emollient ingredients can create a barrier on the area to prevent water loss. (Still, this is best used as a mild, external remedy, and always speak with your doctor if you’re experiencing dryness down there.) The balm can also be used as an anti-chafe balm.AmazonA rocking step machine you can use standing or sitting to improve balanceAs you might know, your balance can decline as you age, making it all the more important to do what you can to improve it — and you don’t even need to go to the gym to do it. This at-home rocking stepper that we found on sale earlier this month can be used standing or sitting, and is designed to have a lateral rocking motion that can help you get your steps in while working on your balance. Store it under your desk or in your closet; it weighs just 12 pounds, but can hold up to 330. This is also great for low-impact exercise, as it isn’t as stressful on the joints. Get it in two colors.AmazonThis facial hair trimmer people in their 50s call a “next-level holy effing grail”While you don’t have to remove any facial hair, for folks who want to, this trimmer has proven to be a “next-level holy effing grail.” Available in seven fun colors, the precise two-in-one trimmer can remove hairs around the eyebrows, chin, upper and lower lip, cheeks and more without irritation. It’s also small enough to toss in your bag and charges with a USB-C cord, so you can easily take it on the go. A portable keychain charger that can charge four devices at onceYou might recognize the Rorry keychain charger since we've been covering it for a while, but a sale in July shot it up this month's list. Not only does the genius keychain design allow you to clip this onto your bag and always have it immediately available (no more digging through your backpack to track down your charger), but it's compatible with tons of different Apple devices. That includes iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods, along with some Android devices — all of which you can charge simultaneously. Grab it in a ton of different fun colors. One reviewer deems as “genius” and “perfect travel companion.” AmazonApple’s dual port power adapter with 2 USB-C portsSometimes the real thing is the best thing, and this is one purchase that’ll make you want to opt for the name brand instead of a knockoff. Apple’s dual port adapter has long been a favorite of HuffPost readers because it frees up outlet space, gives you more USB-C ports (which always seem to be in short supply) and has folding prongs so you can easily pack it for your next trip. Now you can charge your MacBook Air, iPhone, AirPods, Apple Watch and/or iPad in a jiffy.AmazonThe K-beauty face peel that smoothes skin like no otherThis list wouldn’t be complete without a mature skin-friendly K-beauty pick, and this month’s is Dr. Melaxin’s exfoliating peel shot, a TikTok-viral item that reviewers say unclogs pores and smoothes the skin. The formula contains AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliants to help give you that “glass skin” look but without stripping the moisture out of your skin, thanks to the rice bran water and hyaluronic acid.One of the best parts of exfoliating is that it can help your other skin care products work better because they’ll absorb more easily, so this can act as its own new step in your routine but also as a way to level up your current regimen.AmazonThis swim dress that reviewers in their 50s and 60s say boosted their confidenceShopping for swimsuits can often feel like an exercise in disappointment — how do you get one that fits, covers what you want covered and doesn’t look frumpy or weird? We might have found the answer in this Blooming Jelly swim dress, which has gained a lot of fans since we covered it earlier this summer. “WOW!!! Stop the presses, alert the paparazzi — I finally found a swimsuit that doesn’t make me look like a potato in spandex!” one reviewer wrote. “The tummy control is working overtime, and the color? Let’s just say, if I don’t get compliments, I’ll assume everyone is just jealous.”The dress has adjustable straps, a long torso design and a sweet tie knot on the skirt to make it feel fun and flirty. Try it for yourself in a bunch of colorways and sizes S-4XL.AmazonA cordless heated knee massager for pain reliefKnee pain is no small matter, but reviewers are calling this cordless heated knee massager a “magic” solution that lets them move around with less discomfort. Featuring three vibration modes, three heat levels and adjustable straps, you can customize this device to your needs and adjust the settings using the LED screen. The cordless, compact design makes it easy to use this around the house, at the office or elsewhere if you need to as well. The massager comes in two colors.AmazonSome anti-fungal foot balm that’s like “magic” for dry, cracked solesIf your feet could use a little extra love, look no further than this anti-fungal foot balm that reviewers claim can remove a “mountain of dead skin.” It’s made with tea tree oil, a dermatologist-approved ingredient we’ve reported on before for its antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Just swipe some of this balm onto your cracked, sore, tired heels and let the natural ingredients get to work — they can even address issues like athlete’s foot, eczema, itching and more.
