Things I don’t *need* but got anyways 🫶✨🍋
Another ✨solid✨ “things I didn’t necessarily need but really wanted and it’s my summer vacation and I’m going to live a little and buy some random stuff” haul!
During my recent summer haul, I picked up several products that technically weren’t essentials, but truly brought some extra joy and glow to my routine. One standout was the Tree Hut Santal Haze Foaming Gel Wash, a hydrating cleansing treat infused with an oil complex and soothing ingredients like ashwagandha and turmeric. The sandalwood and violet notes made it feel like a little luxury every time I used it. I also discovered the Pacifica Glow Baby Brightening Peel-Up Pads loaded with natural fibers and a gentle blend of 10% AHA and BHA acids. Using these a few times a week in the evening gave my skin a subtle tingle, but more importantly, it added a fresh glow that I loved. The glow was real, as they say! For oral care, I found an affordable dupe for TheraBreath mouthwash at just $5, which helped keep my smile fresh without any burning sensation thanks to its alcohol-free formula. Also, the Good Molecules Daily Brightening Serum featuring beta arbutin helped even out my skin tone over a few weeks. Lastly, a little fun addition was the Maybelline Super Fluff Brow Gel, which instantly refreshed my tired brows, adding volume and softness while waiting for my tinted treatment to kick in. Overall, these finds may not have been necessities, but each added a bit of joy and practicality to my summer self-care. Sometimes, a small splurge on fun, unexpected products is just what the vacation mood calls for—helping me refresh my routine and enjoy the season fully.
