July Favorites

July Favorites

(L to R: Secret No Alumninum Rosewater Deodorant, Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream, Aveda Heat Relief, 

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream, REN Ready Steady Glow AHA/BHA Tonic)

July was a hot month with temperates reaching sweltering degrees and a heatwave across the country. Nonetheless, here are my favorites for the month.

Secret No Aluminum Rosewater Dew Deodorant: Secret finally joined in on the aluminum free game. I haven't used a Secret deodorant or antiperspirant since high school I think. After Dove came out with their deodorants, I've been exclusively using them. But I picked this up to try because it was aluminum free and it's summer so of course, deodorant is a must. Now, this is not an antiperspirant so it doesn't stop sweat, only masks odor. It's a gel stick and has a nice light scent. It works for me!

Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream: This comes in a cute little peach-like container. Because of that, it's not very travel friendly. It has a very strong peach scent. Moisturizes well. A+ for me.

Aveda Heat Relief Thermal Protector & Conditioning Mist: This is a new Aveda product. I got it during their F&F sale. I mist this on the ends of my hair before blowdrying to protect my ends. Only thing is, don't use too much or I find my hair feels sticky after.

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream: This is part of their Youth Renewal line which includes a serum and eye serum. Both of these I reviewed in a previous post. The primary ingredient is retinol - the gold standard for anti-aging. The cream comes in a jar that has a pump top. Pump distributes the exact amount for your face. This cream works as well as a the other products in the line, but I do think I prefer the serum.

REN Ready Steady Glow AHA/BHA Tonic: This is an exfoliating toner. REN is a clean beauty brand so this doesn't include any of those controversial ingredients. It has AHA as lactic acid and BHA as willow bark extract to exfoliate. It also has a citrus scent which I love. And a pump top too. I will probably repurchase this.
