It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I wanted to start this thread as a place to share about a beauty tool or tools that have worked for you, be it something you use for your skin (e.g., gua sha, face roller, spetralite face mask, etc.), or your body (body gua sha, infrared PEMF mat), or  nails (e.g., glass file), or elsewhere.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Ahhh! My apologies @CynthieLu ! These are the morphe vegan brushes. It's around $14 to $20 each but I bought them buy 2 get 1 free plus 20% plus double points at ulta! I posted these like everyone should already know 😂😂😂

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@jaaayp Ahhh thank you for telling me. 🙏 I didn't recognize them at all. I really like thier shapes. 😀

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Oooouh soft and airbrushed cheek products @jaaayp?!! Love that look. And I love me some brushes too. Washing them, not so much 😝 but that’s one of those things that have to be done. I’ll have to look through the June hauls thread to see your original posts on these beauties. Ahhh June, feels so long ago. lol 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi ahhh!! I totally forgot to mention what these are as if the BIC would know 😅 it's the morphe vegan brushes. I also featured these on the cheek tutorial thing 😂😂😂 omg I just bought the MAKEUP BY MARIO F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush ..... I am beyond excited (yet, I have not even opened the box yet LOL)

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi here are a few of my favorite current tools. Not pictured is a T3 shower water filter we just got. Nice to have softer hair.  I also love an older Sephora scalp massager but it wasn’t pic worthy and I don’t see it online any longer. Lol.

Love the Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar along with a Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool  to help with depuffing and working serums and oils in well too.

I’m trying to use the Kate McLeod The Dry Brush to help with circulation and exfoliation. 

This poor old Shu eyelash curler is such an old faithful friend! 

( Now I’d really love to have the mat you have. That looks wonderful for pain! )

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@Sunnysmom Dry brushes are great! I have one. I use it when I remember 😆. The sculpting bar sounds promising!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Same with me @Mellmars1185 ! I’m not sure why! Sometimes it hurts. Lol. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@Sunnysmom Yes it can be uncomfortable for sure! I guess it is kind of discouraging in a sense. But afterwards I always feel good about it!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@Sunnysmom, dry brushes are great; the shape and handle on the Kate McLeod one looks good. How often do you use the JD sculpting bar and gua sha?

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I do like the size of the Kate M @itsfi , it’s easy to maneuver 😆. I debated if a longer handle was better but went for more control for the first one I tried.:) I use the bar more frequently than the gua sha , not sure why except I think it may work better and so easy . Probably 4x a week tho I should do more. I do see decreased puffiness when I use it. I got it during a sale and agonized if I should do it! Glad I did. I think I need more skills with the gua sha and need to use it more.  Do you do it a bunch? 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@Sunnysmom, I was more consistent with the gua sha years back when I first started using it and thought it was worth it, but like most things, consistency is key.  I plan to revisit the gua sha tool this and next month, so we'll see. 🤞

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi Excellent thread idea! I will think of some tools that I use. Some off the top of my head are 

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager Blue (an older version) for when I use scalp oil

 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Slant Tweezer (pink) - to clean up my brows

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

💯 to tweezers @Mellmars1185! They come in handy for a number of things but brow maintenance for sure! I’ve tried the pointed ones and the slanted ones; both work nicely but at least for me, the slanted ones make it easier to clean up my brows quickly and consistently. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi I have never tried the pointed ones! I am not quite sure what the difference is?

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Sorry for just now getting back to this @Mellmars1185. For me, the pointed tips are better for precision - when I'm trying to get to a brow hair that is in a cluster of other hairs and I don't want to pull out extra hairs - I'm not always great or patient so this style helps. I also use a pointed tweezer to remove nail art stickers from the sheet; I find it makes it easier to remove without tearing the sticker.

 

Slanted tips have the flat side that makes it easier for me to get under the hair. I only know there's the two different kinds (or three) because I picked up a couple of sets over the years -

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi Thank you so much for sharing this!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi great idea for a thread!

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@greeneyedgirl107, thank you. If there's been a beauty tool that has worked well (or not) for you, would love to hear about your experiences.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

I purchased the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mat for Recovery and Stress Reduction and plan to start putting it to use. Will revisit this page to post updates.

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

@itsfi 

Whoa, I have that HighDose Mat, I bought mine on Amazon. Sephora Canada def doesn’t have it. Yours looks smaller maybe, is it the full body one? Mine weighs about 45 lbs. 

In CDN I think I paid about $1700 for mine. It does work! I work out everyday from home, sometimes twice, and at the end of the day I’m super sore. This helps and I get such a good sleep. 

Re: It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition

Ooouh, you have the full size @GG84?!! Niiiiice! This is the “on the go” half mat size - it’s 11 lbs. I’ve had it for a little more than a week and it has not disappointed. I’m hoping it will help with my sleep so it is very heartening to hear how well the mat has worked for you. 👍🏼
