Monthly Faves: December 2023!

Wow, what a year, Beauty Insider Community! I don’t know about you, but reflecting on 2023 makes me realize how many new beauty favorites I’ve discovered (some of those thanks to you!) and how many former favorites have now become current holy grails. There’s nothing like shopping your own stash…. but splurging on some brand-new beauty is pretty fun, too. 😉 I’m so grateful for all of you BIC-ers for sharing your favorites here for all of us to enjoy, all year long!

Here are the products I’ve been loving this December:

Now it’s your turn! Hit the reply button and tell us which products you’ve picked up the most this December… or even throughout all of 2023. Be sure to tag those products with the “#” symbol (hair, makeup, fragrance, wellness, skincare, etc.)!

@AlexBT Nice favourites! I still have to try the Olaplex 7. How do you use it?

I've really only known what a skin care routine even is for the past year, much less the myself fully into own. Here's are dinner off my faves ..

@cianni I just used the last night and it's such a good one. It really set the standard for me on what a great scalp scrub is. Love to see it getting some love!

Oh, the last monthly favorites for 2023 @AlexBT! Excellent reminder - I need to pull that back into my routine. You and @GeorginaBT turned me onto it last year (I think it was last year?) and I've just gotten distracted by other things. Contouring is definitely on my list of things to work on for next year.

I'll have to spend more time thinking about my overall favorites for 2023 but here are my December favorites - a medley of beauties that have been part of my routine for years as well as new ones that became near and dear to me this month.

I've had a bottle of # for almost as long as I've been here. It can be used year round, but I like it best for helping my skin transition to the cooler seasons, when the brisk air outdoors and the central heating indoors wreak havoc on my skin and skin barrier. With consistent use, my skin looks and feels better overall - softer, better hydrated, and more naturally glowy skin! 💗

I fell in love with # and am so pleased it is a permanent part of the collection. Nourishing. Comforting. Gorgeous. 💋 Shout out to Baby DanDan's mama, the phenomenal @danielledanielle, for introducing me to the brand! You are to *blame* for every Ami Cole haul.

This next favorite, , is courtesy of the loving kindness of@TeamBIC - thank you! It's one of those products with results (specifically, its lengthening claims) that I had to see to believe. See I did. And, therefore, I believe. But check it out for yourself (see spoilers).

If ever a product's name nailed it 😉😊, it would be ILNP Joy. This festive red with fun holographic sparkles sprinkled throughout really does bring joy.

# is perfect for creating a warm, cozy and comforting atmosphere. It's been one of a few candles I've been reaching for after a long day at work. It's been great for unwinding this month.

Favorite Activity / Thread: A fabulous fun and festive 10 days of unboxing was had (and continues to be had) on TeamBIC’s 2023 Holiday Gratis Thread. 💝 As curious as I was to see what generous beauties were awaiting us inside the bags that TeamBIC & Sephora graciously gifted, my favorite part of those 10 days was hearing people's excitement for each day's unboxing and everyone's experiences with their new goodies, whether they were tried-and-true treats or products people were hearing about for the first time. What a treat! Truly.

@TeamBIC , you created such an extraordinary experience for us, individually and collectively. "Brava" to each of you for your incredible creativity and brilliance in putting this gratis together, and a profound "Thank you" for your unending thoughtfulness and generosity. 💖 Quite simply, THE. BEST. And I'm not talking about the gratis, but you - @LexBT @CarolBT @AlexBT @GeorginaBT !

Ami Cole Lip Oil - Romance
Hourglass Unlocked Mascara
ILNP Joy

Wishing everyone the best as we count down 2023 and usher in 2024. Excited to see what's to come in the new year! 🥂

I think I can say we are all pretty grateful for a place to read, share and connect about all the products we love with such awesome people. So a huge thank you, to you and everyone @AlexBT. 💕

Your loves list this month is so impressive. I have been wanting to try more from Charlotte Tilbury. This wand looks so good from everyone's posts about it. Maybe in the new year I will get my hands on it. 😊

This year I've found so many great new to me favorites,

These are the products that I wanted to shout out the most. ⭐

( I had to whittle this list down and almost posted a few honorable mentions 😉 💕 what can I say? There's been a lot to love this year.)

Thank you for sharing some of your favorites with us @Pilgrimgossip 💓

FAB and Glow Recipie are brands that really know our skin.

Great choices!

@cianni beautiful list of faves!

I have one scrub by CR ( it's a volumizing scalp scrub) I'd love to try the one you mentioned. The volumizing one is good, my scalp feels so refreshed after... but the volume it gives my hair is outta control lol. It definitely does what it claims 😉

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:31:12 GMT

@CynthieLu that JVN was about to make my list too! I’m obsessed with the scent 😩 I already knew those Fenty lip stains would be on your list - you’re basically an ad for them, I’m so impressed with them time I see you wearing one!

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:33:33 GMT

@itsfi so many festive faves! That hourglass mascara was on my radar from the unboxing thread, but your before and after shots have officially moved it into my cart 🥰

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:35:41 GMT

@SportyGirly125 I haven’t heard anything about that Pattern, but I really like the brand. It loooks like such an interesting concept, and I’m happy to hear it’s not gimmicky and is actually a good product. I’ll have to give it a try!

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:37:34 GMT

@Pilgrimgossip that’s a great skincare routine with some stellar products! My first real skin routine was all over the place; you seem to have found a solid lineup!

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:39:09 GMT

@CynthieLu I haven’t tried the volumizing scrub but out of control volume is exactly what I want my hair to have!!

Re: Monthly Favorites: December 2023 Edition!

cianni — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 17:42:23 GMT

@missjeanie yes!! I’m always so happy to see others loving on products I don’t hear too much buzz about , but are really good!

@cianni, the Hourglass mascara took me by surprise, in the best way! My lashes are naturally a lot shorter than yours (which are beautiful❣️), so the results on me may be a lot more dramatic. It does take some work and patience - I built that up with 3 carefully timed coats - just when it starts to dry down - too early, it's too wet and will clump; too late and it's all dried down and it will clump. There's also , which I might pick up some time next year to keep in my desk drawer at work, for those days when I might not get into the office with mascara but may find out about an event or meeting that will make mascara something I'd like to have on hand.
