So what happened with August!? As a Leo, an August Leo at that (I’m awaiting your belated birthday gifts!), I can’t get over the fact that the month just started, and now it’s about to be over. Fall is trying to knock at the door to cool us all down. The only thing that can ease my pain (including those gifts!) is looking back at all the very interesting lifestyle items that were released this month.
From products to tackle hormonal acne, which is not to be toyed with, to new colorways for our favorite audio goods, luggage in materials that work for the every day, and things that will help us transition better to fall, it’s been a stacked month for lifestyle. As the last weeks of summer are here, these are the essentials you need to add to your cart as soon as possible to get ready for autumn and stay on top of all the hot buys and trends.
The latest and biggest Pixel phone rolled out by Google is an AI machine, and in the best way possible. Get insights into some of your biggest questions with help from Gemini, the phone’s built-in assistant, a fantastic camera via the phone’s Magic Editor capabilities (add some florals — or a lake — to some photos that could use some color), and get summaries of some of your conversations when multitasking is not your strong suit. In addition to its tech wins, the phone is a beauty, coming in fun shades, including a gorgeous Rose Quartz. It’s their best Pixel phone yet.

The K-beauty brand is helping fans of its offerings keep hormonal acne in check. That’s why they’ve recently dropped two new retinol items, including our favorite, a chin mask (if you know, you know, that hormonal jawline acne is no joke) to clear blemishes, keep post-acne blemishes at bay and exfoliate, unclog and smooth the skin. There’s also the spot covers, which everyone loves, but these particular covers have a higher absorption rate than most and combat pigmentation while supporting the skin.
