This started off for me when I was putting on my sunscreen this morning. I ordered the Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence after hearing @heartsmyface talk about it. I'm on my second bottle now. I wear a lot of sunscreen, a lot. But I'd always stuck with North American brands, convenience I suppose. This one glides on so nicely, it plays well under make up, and I don't so much as get a bit of colour while wearing it. I'm a fan! Its also made me much more curious to try out other Asian sunscreens!
The second product that made me think maybe this needed to be a bigger post was the Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray. This was listed on the TJMaxx/Winners thread by someone who mentioned that it was their favourite. I'm sorry I don't remember exactly who this was! I remember being in store looking at this and thinking that someone had mentioned it, I stood there looking around BIC to confirm this was the one and snapped it up. I have what appears to be old packaging, but this stuff doesn't just add shine and moisture, it's also got crazy detangling properties (I can run a brush through my waist length hair with no problem right after a spritz out of the shower), and it smells great. I've enjoyed several other Alternatives Caviar products but this one is my tops. I will 100% pay full price for another when my TJ's version runs out.
@itsfi has raved about the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Lip Balm & Scrub Dragonfruit and I finally bit the bullet and bought one last year. I now have two that I use daily and another two on the way now. This is my favourite lip scrub, I love the format, I don't get it all over my fingers or the rest of my face, it scrubs, and it moisturizes. Zero complaints.
The Bioderma was a BT made me do it. Someone was talking about how it was the only micellaire water they used and how it removed their eye make up like nothing. At the time I thought it was crazy to spend so much on a water. I typically only use a remover to remove eye make up then use a regular cleanser. It looked like a good amount of product and there were so many people backing this statement up about it being the best, I went to the drug store the next day and bought one. It's been my go to ever since and I've been through at least 5/6 bottles since.
The Dior Lip Glow Oil Berry was partially influenced by a few BICers who received this in a gratis box last year, however it was seeing @SportyGirly125 buy another and reading her review that pushed me to purchase. I was already a fan of the Dior lip glow balms and so this one wasn't a big reach for me, however I not only love this one, but I've now been drawn into a world of lip oils. This one however is still my go to!
The Native Deodorant is a thank you to BIC in general. I was using my clinical strength secret or dove with no real thought to my deodorant, however seeing so many people here try more natural formulas and having been gifted a natural deodorant (Briogio) from BIC made me start experimenting. The Native is my favourite, so thank you BIC for getting me started on a natural deo journey I didn't even know I needed/wanted!
The Sun Bum 3 in 1 leave in was another @SportyGirly125 item! She sent me one in my secret Santa box and I fell in love. The scent on this is out of this world, and with long hair that I brush wet... this is a dream. I've since expanded out to their S&C, as well as their repair products and masks, oh and I've used their sunscreen too lol. I'm all about that beach scent!
Thank you so much to all of these lovely BICers who have influenced these purchases/loves!
