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!

T is for Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer - a great primer to help your makeup last all day plus it leaves your skin soft and more youthful.

You got to give me a U next.

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, Tatcha! 💜 A lovely choice @CorgiMommy! Good reminder too for me to look for this in my stash. It’s a beautiful product - inside and out.

@itsfi @Loretta55 S is for Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush Spicy I actually went to go swatch this and found that it was terracotta vs red... I think I may pick this up anyway (thats how they AKA @itsfi gets you...😂)

Next up is Teeeeeeeeee!

[danielledanielle]

I just wanna try it now, because of the name spicy @jaaayp @itsfi 

[jaaayp]

I see it @danielledanielle it's such a cute name!! Unless.. you know.. it be spicy on them cheeks 😂😂😂

[danielledanielle]

@jaaayp 😂🤣

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, sorry @jaaayp, it pulls a smidge red when I swatched it, but yeah, I can see where you are coming from - there's a good bit of orange in it. I've no doubt you it would look amazing on you!

[jaaayp]

No worries at all @itsfi I loved the swatch anyway and I would've never even swatched it if you didn't mention it 😉 so again, commission for @itsfi !! 😂

[Loretta55]

@Mellmars1185 , R is for Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm Nearly Mauve . This was one of my first Rare Beauty purchases after receiving a deluxe sized GWP in nearly natural. I have not worn this in awhile but it does bring back fond memories. S is up next.

[itsfi]

Nearly Mauve is such a pretty color @Loretta55. Her beauty line is really impressive.

[Mellmars1185]

@Loretta55 I have one too I need to reach for more often. I just love the packaging of all things Rare Beauty.

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Q is for Queen in the Slip Silk Pillowcase - Standard/Queen Caramel

I would love to invest in a silk pillowcase one day.

 For now satin will be ok.

Next up is R

[itsfi]

I have had silk pillowcases on my list for a while; just never get around to it @Mellmars1185! So many other distractions.

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 good one 

[Mellmars1185]

@CorgiMommy Thank you! Q is a tricky one.

[CorgiMommy]

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench® Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer  

A unique gel-cream texture that disappears into your skin for a beautiful finish.

Up next is the difficult Q product 

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, I hear good things about this PTR moisturizer.

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi I use it more on vacation as I always seem to have  a deluxe sample of it

[itsfi]

O is for The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL, a go-to when my skin is really dry (like in the winter months). This isn't just good for the price, it's good, period. @jaaayp 

Next up, P 

[jaaayp]

Ah, yes @itsfi I 100% agree with you here. Idk if its just me though, I felt like I went through the ordinary one so quickly vs my biossance one that never seems to go down? Probably just me. I'm thinking it's me as I'm typing it out loud.

[itsfi]

I get what you're saying @jaaayp, though I feel like it takes me a while to work my way through most oils - for face or hair. Ha! I guess that means I'm getting my money's worth?! See, wallet, there's value in how hard of a workout you get! 😂🤣😂
