Notearvalo: July 2024

Hello, everyone! How was your 4th? We have a newborn, so we didn't do much. We just let our 5 year old do some sparklers in the backyard. Which is perfectly fine with me because its been way too hot here to be outside for a long period of time.

So, I picked up quite a few new products over the last couple of months. Let me know if you've tried any of these out and if you liked them!

Bio-Oil Skincare Oil

I tried a skincare oil one time, and I really liked how it made my skin look and feel. Now I'm excited to be trying out different brands. I haven't used this one before, but the reviews are good!

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner

I have KP on my arms that I'm desperately trying to get rid of. So I've been using a KP scrub and moisturizing like crazy, but it still isn't enough. I've heard great things about this and I'm hoping it helps.

Bumble & Bumble BB Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

I've used this before and like it for detangling my hair and a heat protectant.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum Fragrance Travel Spray

I received this complimentary from Influenster for review. The smell is nice, if a little heavy on the tobacco note. You only need one spray and the scent lasts all day, which is great considering it costs $70 for only 0.3 oz of perfume! But, it's Tom Ford so of course it's going to be quite spendy.

Perricone MD No Makeup Lip Oil in Pink Grapefruit

I received this from BzzAgent for review. This feels so nice on the lips! It's hydrating and not sticky at all. This shade is basically my natural lip color, so if you want some color to your lips I'd suggest picking a much darker color than you would think you'd need.

Melt Cosmetics Deadly Night Shade Duo Cream Blushlight & Highlight

Not even going to lie, I bought this because it's Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm still on the fence about cream blush because I have trouble not getting too heavy handed with them and looking ridiculous.

Living Proof Mini Perfect Hair Day Healthy Hair Perfector

I haven't tried this yet, but I keep hearing amazing things about this brand. Because of that, I wanted to start trying out some of their products to see if I'd like them.

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Look birthday set

This is one of this year's birthday gifts from Sephora. I want to try out some more Charlotte Tilbury products, so I figured getting some free samples is the best way to do so.

Lip Smacker x Hello Kitty Lip Balm in Cheerful Cherry

This year is Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary, so there are a ton of different brands currently partnering with HK and I want all of them, haha! A classic Lip Smacker lip balm is always a yes for me.

Pixi x Hello Kitty Lip Tone pH Reactive Tint

This is supposed to react to your lip's pH level and provide a shade of lip color unique to you. I have no idea if it will actually do that or not, but it's HK so I had to have it.

The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Plush Spa Headband

I mean, come on! This is so dang cute how could I not buy it??

Impressions Vanity x Hello Kitty LED Compact Mirror

Again, I just had to have this. I love that it's iridescent and the light inside is very bright.

Peace Out Acne Healing Dots

This is one of this year's birthday gifts from Ulta. They had other options and I was going to pick something else, but I waited too long to order from their website and this was all that was left. I have a pack of these from this brand already, and I never noticed a difference in my acne when I used them.
