Learning our A, B, C's: The Sephora BIC Beauty Edition

[itsfi]

Hey BIC, we're one week into the new year! Winter break is just about over for a lot of kids with many heading back to the classroom tomorrow (Monday) or soon, if they haven't already started back up. Thought I'd bring back a fun, favorite game from a few years ago with school picking back up. This will be a little lesson in Learning our  A, B, C's: The BIC Beauty Edition.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?:

* Basically, we will be going through the alphabet with beauty products, with the applicable letter being either (1) the first letter in the brand's name or (2) the first letter of the product's name. 

     - For example, for A - A can be for amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask  (A = Amika) or A can be for Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray Jumbo 8.11 oz / 240 mL  (A = All Nigher Spray)

     - The next person will tag a product or brand that begins with B and then the next person will tag a product/brand that begins with C, then D, E, F, .... until we get to Z, and then we start over again! 

HOW TO PLAY:

* Look for the most recent comment to the original post

* Take your turn, by hitting "Reply" to original post and replying directly to that  main post (and not to the most recent comment)

* In your reply, be sure to:

    -- tag the product with the hashtag - #<<type name of product>>

    -- tag the person you are replying to with @ + the user name of the most recent comment

* When we get through the alphabet, we'll start over again with "A"

* There will be items repeated, but it would be great if we try to avoid repeating a product on the same page you're on.

* Optional: add a fun fact about the product you're tagging - what do you love about it, or if there was a reason you chose it (other than it being the next letter) - it's a favorite/holy grail product, it's a product you've been wanting to try, etc.

TO START:

* I will" reply" to the original / main post and tag a product or brand that begins with the letter A

* The next person will also "reply" to the original / main post but this person will tag a product or brand that begins with the letter B (also, remember to tag me - @itsfi)

* The next person will then also "reply" to the original / main post, but this person will tag a product or brand that begins with the letter C (and remember to tag the person who posted the letter B product / brand)

* We will continue in this way until we get to Z and then the next person will start back with the letter "A", with everyone replying to the original / main post.

FYI: Origins of this tag game

Spoiler

The original tag game was created by our amazing @AlexBT, who was gracious and enthusiastic when giving me the okay when I checked in with her about reviving this. Thank you for coming up with this fun and fabulous idea in the first place - it was a blast when you introduced it in 2020 (All Aboard the Tag Train: Play Along), and I'm hoping it will be so again this year. Would love to see you and others on @TeamBIC join in, along with the rest of the beauties on BIC. 

I will start off in a separate reply below – don’t forget to respond by replying to this main post instead of my reply. Here we go!

That's a pretty awesome looking set @lmaster 😍

Z for NEST New York Lime Zest & Matcha Candle 8.1 oz / 250 g 1 wick candle - fresh, clean & refreshing with a little earthiness from the matcha coming through. @CorgiMommy 

We’re back at A

[CynthieLu]

That sounds like a yummy but we'll rounded scent @itsfi 💚

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, a great scent for spring! 

[CorgiMommy]

Trying this now as i have a sample.  Jury is still out on if I love it or not.

Youth To The People Dream Eye Cream with Vitamin C and Ceramides 0.5 oz/ 15 mL 

Zzzzzzz

[itsfi]

This is such a well loved mask; hope it performs well for you @CorgiMommy.

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi thanks

[CynthieLu]

The ceramides sound very promising @CorgiMommy let us know when you have formed a opinion on this one. 🙏💙

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu I will

X is for PAT McGRATH LABS Bridgerton Skin Fetish: Sublime Skin Highlighter Xtreme Gold 002 .  It is a LE highlighter from her Bridgerton collab.  The gold is pretty extreme.  I've sadly worn away some of the embossing on mine 😑

Y is up next.

[itsfi]

@danielledanielle, there’s definitely that moment 😞 when you see the embossing wear away. But that means you’ve been using it, which usually means it’s good. I’ve seen a few swatches and looks with Xtreme Gold and it is beautifully intense! ⭐️

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi, I tried so hard to have it both ways (use it and keep it pretty).  I would go in at weird angles, but alas 🥲

@Shosh85 W is for Westman Atelier Mini Petite Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick Petal - It is a new to me product. I picked it up because I heard it layers well on top of foundation. I tend to use cream shadows for underpainting and set with powders.

Next up is a difficult letter... X

[itsfi]

Great choice @Mellmars1185! I love the Petal blush - such a pretty flush of color. 🩷

[Shosh85]

V Is for Versace Dylan Purple Eau de Parfum. Love the sweet-fruity-floral scent of this one - it's one of my new favorites!

@itsfi on to W

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I remember you mentioning liking this. I picked up a sample and can see why. It smells wonderful!

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  You know I'm not a big fan of anything floral, but the sweet-fruitiness stands out more and makes a nice balance 😃

[itsfi]

That’s why I had to try it @Shosh85; for someone like you who isn’t into florals, it says a lot that this is a favorite of yours. Completely see why you love it. 💜

U  for Sunday Riley U.F.O. Salicylic Acid BHA Treatment Face Oil; I was introduced to this line from a wonderful BT/BIC’er - a spot treatment mask and made my way to other goodies in the line. @CorgiMommy 

Movin’ on to V 

[CynthieLu]

I looooove the oils I've tried from SR @itsfi I bet this one is good too. 🤩

[itsfi]

Oooh, what Sunday Riley oils have you liked @CynthieLu?
