And just like that, August is almost upon us and the hottest of summer months is reflected in what you’ve been buying recently; a seasonal scent, floaty clothes and hair removal cream are all high on the list.

With masks a day-to-day essential you’ve also been stocking up on skincare to prevent the onset of maskne with pimples patches in your virtual basket.

H&M linen-blend wrap skirt, £19.99

Whether you're staycationing in the UK this summer or heading to sunnier shores, this skirt is a suitcase essential. Created in collaboration with luxury pyjama brand Desmond and Dempsey, it's floaty and airy. We like the navy version, but the terracotta style is equally lovely.

In our article on  the importance of vitamin C  we talked about the power of combining it with ferulic acid to enhance to anti-oxidant powers and you obviously took the advice to heart, with this vitamin C serum flying off the virtual shelves at Victoria Health.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid  is a classic evening fragrance and this lighter take on it makes for a sensual yet breezy summer scent that's every bit as alluring as the original. We originally gave it a shout out in our edit of the  best floral fragrances  where it's in very good fragrance company.

WooWoo hair removal cream, £6.75

With beauty salons closed for most of summer we had to take matters into our own hands when it came to hair removal and this cream was a winner out of the at-home hair removal  we tried. It removes unwanted hair quickly and is especially good for the bikini line, banishing stray hairs in less than ten minutes with no ingrown hairs  when they grow back.

Veet EasyGrip Ready-To-Use Wax Strips, £5.99

Another hair removal solution  we sang the praises of was Veet's wax strips; while waxing at home is tricky these are far less fuss than a pot of wax that needs to be heated. Formulated with sweet almond oil to soothe the skin, you just warm them with your hands and you're ready to go. More painful than the hair removal cream for sure, but worth a go for longer-lasting results.

Smile Makers The Ballerina Vibrator, £160

Vibrator sales shot up when we all went into lockdown and the latest launch from French brand Smile Makers was top of your most-bought list. We don't blame you; of all of the sex toys we tried , we might just love this one the most too. The shape was designed to arouse the three key parts of the female vulva; the top of the tool stimulates the clitoris gland, the body of the tool massages the labia and the lower point delivers vibrations to the vaginal opening. It's fairly expensive, but you can't put a price on pleasure...

COSRX Pimple Patches, £7 for 24 patches

From July 24 masks are compulsory when out and about and while this is great for protecting ourselves and others, it spells bad news for our skin, as we explained in our feature on maskne and how to adapt your skincare routine when wearing a mask . One thing our experts recommended was wearing pimple patches  to guard any blemishes and these COSRX ones proved most popular in our edit of the best ones.

On the subject of masks, we've been making the most of our eyes since they're the only thing on show, trying out a whole host of volumising mascaras . Of all of the ones we reviewed this budget buy from Barry M piqued your interest the most. We don't blame you; it's lengthening and separates the lashes at a fraction of the price of many others out there.

Beauty Bio Glopro Micro-needling Regeneration Tool, £199

After Naomi Campbell revealed she microneedles every day, our article on microneedling  shot up in popularity as did sales of this tool. Designed for home use for one minute every night, it's the size of a razor with a rollerball containing an LED infrared light. The theory is that the combination of stimulation and red light provides a skin rejuvenating effect with results seen in 30 days. Fingers crossed everyone who's purchased is on their way to Naomi's glowing skin.
