So, how did August go? As a Leo, and an August Leo at that (waiting for a belated birthday present!), I still can't believe that the month has only just begun and is almost over. Fall is knocking on the door to cool us off, and the only thing that can ease my pain (and the presents!) is looking back at some of the most interesting lifestyle items that were released this month.
From products to combat hormonal acne (don't take it lightly), to new colors of your favorite audio products, to suitcases in everyday materials, to items to ease the transition into fall, this month has been packed full of lifestyle goodness. With just a few weeks of summer left, here are the essentials you need to add to your cart ASAP to get ready for fall and stay on top of popular products and trends.

01 Dove Apple Cider Caramel Wash
Best New Body Wash Collection
Girls (me included) may not be ready for pumpkin spice season just yet, but Dove is, which is why they just launched a limited-edition collection of fabulously scented, fall-inspired body washes, including this apple cider caramel option.

02 Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
The best new smartphones for AI enthusiasts
Google's latest and biggest Pixel phone is a top-notch AI machine. You can get insights into some of your biggest questions with the help of Gemini, the phone's built-in assistant, use the phone's amazing camera with the phone's Magic Editor feature (add flowers or lakes to photos you want to colorize), and summarize parts of conversations when multitasking isn't your forte. In addition to its technical advantages, the phone is beautiful and comes in a range of fun hues, including gorgeous Rose Quartz. It's the best Pixel phone yet.

14 Rael Retinol Line
Best New Hormonal Acne Killer
This K-beauty brand is dedicated to helping its fans get hormonal acne under control, which is why they recently launched two new products with retinol, one of which is our favorite, a chin mask (you know hormonal chin acne is no joke), which helps fade blemishes, reduce post-acne blemishes, exfoliate, unclog and smooth skin, and has a spot cover that everyone loves, but this one absorbs better than others and fights pigmentation while supporting your skin.
