What Strategist Readers Bought and Saved This Month: Lots of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Lipstick
Welcome back to “Your Shopping Cart,” where we break out the top products that you, devoted Strategist readers, bought in droves. Think of this as the TL;DR of the Strategist. If your like-minded brethren are buying these items, maybe you’d like to as well.
The most-purchased items this month
There was a big Black Honey sale in February, so lots of you added Clinique’s cult-favorite, suits-everybody lipstick to your carts. (The sale has now ended, but I wear this shade often myself and can vouch that it’s worth paying full price for.) Misty things were also popular: the Dreo humidifier that our testers highly recommend for these dry winter months as well as Conair’s excellent handheld clothes steamer.

The most-saved items this month
It’s Love Story winter, and a classic Strategist article about Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s (rumored) preferred lipstick, Face Stockholm’s Cranberry Veil, inevitably resurfaced last month. As a result, many readers are thinking of buying it alongside the shiny Aerie leggings one Strategist editor owns nine pairs of and the laptop power bank that makes coffee-shop co-working far easier.

We found a solution for burned piecrust in the Strategist’s daily newsletter
“The most annoying part about pie isn’t making the crust; it’s ensuring the crust edges don’t burn before the rest of your pie is GBD (golden, brown, delicious),” says Jessica Battilana, senior editor at King Arthur Baking Company and co-host of the Things Bakers Know podcast. She recently invested in this silicone pie shield, which protects the crust from overbrowning by actually covering the edges. “Why didn’t I buy one of these ten years ago?” she asks.

Secret Strategist found a new mock-neck tee
Inspired by the Secret Strategist team’s previous conversation with Ellen Ystehede, Strategist senior editor Winnie Yang bought a couple Sunray T-shirts — specifically the Hi’aka, which she says “has a very high, almost-mock neck and a hem that hits at the waistband.” Field Theory in St. Louis has a few colors on sale, including the Raisin and Beluga.

The Strategist Beauty Brief found an eye cream that actually works
After Tembe Denton-Hurst warned against spending extra money on eye creams, fellow Strategist writer Arielle Avila has been an eye-cream skeptic — “But Josie Maran’s newest algae formula has worked so well for me I’m a full-on convert,” she reports. “After my first night using it, my under eyes were hydrated and my usual puffiness was gone, as if I’d gotten a full eight hours of sleep,” she writes, adding that the formula’s mix of barrier-supporting, elasticity-boosting argan oil and depuffing green coffee extract is to thank.

One of our favorite kids’ bath toys earned a spot in The Strategist Kids’ Department
If your kid has been dreading bath time a bit more than usual recently, it might be time to add a new toy to the mix — specifically these color-changing books that babies can play with in the tub. Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo, whose son loves to flip the pages while she bathes him and talks about the whimsical illustrations, calls them “a clever bath-time conversation starter.”
