[greeneyedgirl107]

It's been an interesting month with all the issues logging onto BIC.  And I bet there were some beauty misses, too.  Please share them here.

I never thought of that @lmaster.

I😭 @lmaster @Loretta55 

[lmaster]

@eshoe I mean really that's why I loved it, I'm still going to have to try it

[lmaster]

First one

Spoiler

This is the worst candle I've had, it's terrible. It's just too phony vanilla frosting and too sweet, I'm going to try to light just one wick and see if it's doable, it made me nauseous.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.33 oz / 10 mL eau de parfum spray 

Spoiler

I know many like this, I personally can't stand it!!!! I'm using it as bathroom freshener to get rid of it

Love your honesty and throughness it’s truly amazing thanks for your input @lmaster  💕

[lmaster]

Nothing but honesty always! 💕 @peculiarzmakeup

@lmaster, confession.  I don't love the fragrance either. 😶.  I KNOW. I feel like a traitor, 😂. One of the primary notes, I hate, maybe the musk?  I get a lot of musk when I smell it.

What's been saving it for me? Layering. Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' Jazz Club Eau de Toilette with Tobacco Leaf, Pink Pepper, and Rum # .Do a few air spritzes first, though

[lmaster]

That's what I thought too, it was the musk, but idk because there are fragrances I like with musk, I almost wonder if it's the patchouli @danielledanielle 

[danielledanielle]

That might be it @lmaster or it's the combination of the two, because when I layer it, it kind of negates the part I hate, but I can still smell the Fenty, but the pepper and vanilla in jazz club makes it a little less pungent.

[lmaster]

I read the description of patchouli and musk is in it 🤣 @danielledanielle I'm definitely passing on anything with that from now on

[faeriegirl]

My miss this month is OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment Cocoa Crème - chocolate brown tint + rich... . The scent is terrible! I absolutely love the strawberry and the citrus ones but the cocoa is bad.

@faeriegirl  the blood orange is delightful 

[danielledanielle]

PHLUR Mango Mood Hair & Body Fragrance Mist 3 oz / 90 mL eau de parfum spray 

I have never returned something so quickly.  I think the SA thought I was crazy when I told her all I smelled was astringent and a hint of mango @greeneyedgirl107 .

[peculiarzmakeup]

@danielledanielle  I had a good experience at first it must’ve been cause of my allergies cause as soon as I smelled it It was overpowering. Sorry to hear your experience went similar. You win some and then there’s some that just are losses. Hope you find a better fragrance 🫶💕

[greeneyedgirl107]

@danielledanielle so quickly!  Love that in a weird way!

[danielledanielle]

It was definitely a record @greeneyedgirl107 

[CookieGirl1]

@danielledanielle aww, what a bummer!  I know that the Phlur mists have been kinda hit-or-miss with people but that sucks that the mango one was a loser.

[greeneyedgirl107]

I tried Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick and they were all disappoints.  Too sheer, too fleshy.  I would have liked to have written reviews but the site was wonky. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Sounds dissapointing hope you can find something that works better for you @greeneyedgirl107  🫶💕

[greeneyedgirl107]

@peculiarzmakeup thanks!  I see YSL has a new balm but I'm guessing it'll be just as sheer.
