Fragrances MM Beachwalk. It's one that's stuck with me and been an easy summer choice for at least a decade.Elizabeth and James Nirvana French Grey. This was gifted to me by a dear friend probably around 2016 or so. It's been a winter staple ever since. Ouai St Barts Hair and Body Mist. This one was provided as gratis a few years ago and I really enjoy it both in summer and as a winter pick me up to remind me that summer does exist!MM Coffee Break has been my go to in the fall. It brings me good vibes of warmth and coffee!New entries to my favourites have been 7 Virtues Strawberry Jam and Ellis Brooklyn Isla Sirena. Lovely on their own or mixed together.Base ProductsFenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint -- An easy formula and a great shade match for me. It wears well with all of the skincare I've tried underneath and wears evenly through the day. Nars Pure Radiant Skin Tint. Still hits after all these years. Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer. It's a great full coverage option. Doesn't need a lot for great coverage. Kosas Revealer Concealer. Great for me as what I'd call a medium coverage option. Tower 28 Concealer. What I deem a lighter option for me that I enjoy using as a spot touch up.Cle de Peau stick concealer. I've loved this as both an under eye option when warmed up with my finger and as a great touch up mid day if I've had some wear on my base or am needed to go out after a long day at work. Works well with anything else I've got on and blends into those products seamlesslyMUFE pressed powder. Blurs, mattifies without being cakey, good value for money. EyesViseart shadows. Some of the best mattes hands down. UD pencil eyeliners. I keep going back to these. Great shade ranges, easy to smudge a bit and also stay put as a tight liner. I'm hoping the new Marc Jacobs liners are similar to their older range as those were the tops liners for me. YSL Lash Clash has been my favourite that is still available. I have longer lashes that I really enjoy volumizing with mascara. Love the blue option they have as well. LipI'm a tinted balm kinda gal....Rhode Lip Tint, Patrick Ta liptints, Ole Henriksen Lip Treatment, Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm.Lip Stains.. Love a lip stain. All time fav is the Fenty Poutsicle's Leneige JuicePop, easy to wear shades and easy comfortable formula, not the longest lasting. YSL vinyl Shine Lip Stains. Lovely shades, easy to wear. HaircareKerastase has a few ranges that have worked wonderfully for me. The Chroma Absolu and Gloss Absolu ranges are favourites and the Chroma Absolu Gloss Treatment has really worked so well for my longer, dyed, oily roots, dry ends hair.In a more affordable range the Amika The Kure range and Smooth Over range have been steady repurchases for me. Dyson Airwrap. It's been so easy to use for me to get a style that I like and can execute daily. Love the different attachments and that when I travel I can use it as a hair dryer as well.ToolsSephora Pro brushes. Hands down a great range. Easy to use, great price point, last for a long time, great quality.Beauty blender. I'm a beauty blender gal for base products. I keep going back. Honourable mention to Real Techniques sponges as well. SkincareDr. Jart Ceramidin Moisture Cream. A steady product in my winter rotation that helps with broken skin barrier and extreme dryness. Innisfree Green Tea HA cream. It's a lighter gel cream that I really finds moisturizes without leaving a film at all. It really sinks in and hydrates. Tatcha the Rice Wash. One I go back to time and again. Easy to use without having to think about it.Youth to the People Superfruit Exfoliating Cleanser with Vitamin C & Papaya. This has been such a go to exfoliating cleanser that makes me feel like I'm exfoliating without over doing it.Philosophy microdelivery facewash. Again, a great exfoliating cleanser that isnt' too harsh.Hanyul Brightening Mask to Cleanser. Love this as a morning cleanse where I put it on and then wash it off two or three minutes later. Has the most beautiful lemon scent!Rohto Mentholatum Skin Aqua SPF. I really loved the violet version but haven't seen it in forever. Cay Skin Isle Glow SPF. A beautiful glow that wears well with other products. Cay Skin SPF tinted lip balm. Has the lowest amount of 'spf taste' and still protects while looking great. Vacation Super Sprits SPF 50 Spray. I love this as a mid day touch up for my facial SPF.

Thank YOU @ElleElleG! Pan it! has been one of the best things for me about this Community. It kept me sane during Covid and also opened my eyes to how long it takes to use up things. Appreciate you.

Do you remember when you joined Beauty Insider Community or Beauty Talk? What inspired you to join in? I was a silent observer on BT for quite some time and finally bit the bullet and posted a reply on a thread where someone was asking about 'beachy fragrances'. When BT ended I took a big break and was so excited when I came back to BIC and made so many new friends! What was the product you found through BIC that has had the most impact on your collection?All the sheet masks!!! I don't think I'd ever tried a sheet mask before the sheet mask thread and I quickly fell in love! My skin really does love it when I use them, but I may have gone a weeeee bit overboard with how many I was buying... I think I still have around 500 left. Favourite BIC thread(s) over the years?By no means an exhaustive list... The masking thread, the wellness threads, the empties threads, sale threads, deals thread Any threads or ways you wished you'd be able to participate in more often, or wished you'd created?I wanted to create a thread about preparing for Sephoria! Exercise regime included lol. I always wished I'd interacted more on the wellness threads and the capsule threads! Ever participate in traveling boxes or gift exchanges? Tell us a fun memory?yes! These were so much fun. I honestly really enjoyed getting to know people and figure out what they might like for a gift! Most memorable gratis?I think the most memorable gratis for me were the 'merch' from BIC. When BT ended the Hall of Famers recieved a lipstick that was custom made from BIC. I still have that lipstick and love it every National Lipstick Day! The pool floatie was also pretty wicked. How would you collection of products or beauty usage in general have looked differently were it not for BIC in your life?Ha!! It would be 1/10th the size it is now. Has BIC impacted your 'in real life' world? Gotten any friends involved or met some real life friends through the forum?Yes, so many people I've met in real life and online are what I'd call real world friends now. Loved getting to meet so many people at Sephoria's! Are you hoping to stay in contact with some people?Yes! Please add me on instagram missshawnajean! Any and all wonderful memories you'd like to share?I think being named an Ambassador and the opportunities that it provided to meet others in person will stick with me forever. I'm also so thankful for everyone who's contributed over the years and become true influencers in my life.

@itsfi I saw the teasers but I didn’t see all this!!!! How cute!!! Are you eyeing anything? I’m intrigued in the highlight milk. I would have to test it in person. It’s sorta like the Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator i feel like I’d be less likely to use it on my whole face but I’d have to see. The bronzers look nice.

No photos because one of the last few iOS updates kicked up my iPhone camera’s low light auto-correction, to the point where the camera now over-corrects and photos end up looking flat and unnatural. I need to tweak settings and probably install an app that’ll disable some or all of that low light correction. Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum - my new favorite 10% azelaic acid product. It’s a watery liquid serum full of some of my skin’s favorite anti-inflammation ingredients. It works very well for me, and I hope Anua doesn’t reformulate it for worse anytime soon. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion - possibly my new daily (day and night) moisturizer. It’s richer than my usual (CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion) but not a thick cream, and my skin loves it. MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Waterproof Color Cream Eyeshadow & Eyeliner 04 Matte Cobalt - requires quick work if I’m blending/smoking/smudging it out. But once it’s on, it’s budgeproof. Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix - Multi-Use Pearl Pigment Stick for Eye, Cheek & Lip Duo #10 Shadow Eclipse & Galaxy Crush - of the five duos I have, this is the one I’ve used most over the last couple months—and hey, Sephora now carries duos 9 and 10! (They used to be exclusive to Danessa’s site, so I didn’t think I’d be able to tag duo 10. 😅) This one gets me a quick and easy smokey eye. DIOR Rouge Dior On Stage Lipstick 425 Wild Rosewood - I’ve probably listed it in a previous monthly faves thread but I’m still super impressed by this formula. I think Dior added 3 new shades, but they’re reds and a soft pink; still no purple or fuchsia. Until a shade like that shows up, Wild Rosewood will keep living in my purge/bag.
