5 Beauty Splurges That Were Made for a Tax Day Refund

Tax filing day is upon us—and like opening a favorite evening bag to discover a flush roll of bills tucked into the inner pocket, today we celebrate the possibilities of an unexpectedly generous federal return. After all, the budget-sovereign sum is a perfect excuse to splurge on an indulgent beauty thrill. Whether it’s treating yourself to a summer’s worth of lean, gleaming limbs that require zero maintenance (thank you, laser hair removal) or a monthlong juice detox that leaves you looking as good as you feel, we’ve rounded up the best ways to allocate a well-timed windfall.

Customize Your Own Signature Scent
If the purpose of a trademark fragrance is to leave a soul-defining trail as you enter or exit any room, there’s no better investment than a perfume that’s been created explicitly for you. It’s a concept that Ex Nihilo has perfected: At its Bergdorf Goodman counter in New York, the Paris-based fragrance house offers personalized scent-blending. Pick your favorite scent, and walk away with three variations based on your chosen notes, from orange blossom and jasmine to bourbon vanilla.

Join a Monthly Juice Delivery Plan
Whether your goal is pressing reset on bad habits, upping your fruit and vegetable intake, or simply detoxing, there’s little that rivals the joys of a fresh morning juice. Sign on for a month’s worth of citrus, almond milk, turmeric, or charcoal-spiked fresh juices for a boost of daily energy and good nutrition.

Book a Series of Laser-Hair Removal Treatments
There’s nothing more luxurious than waking up in the morning and slipping on a breezy summer skirt without the added chore of a razor-equipped trip to the shower. Six carefully spaced sessions at Manhattan’s airy, light-filled Beam Laser Spa will get legs ready for beach season—and shave precious minutes off your AM routine.
