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!

@itsfi it's so pretty 😍

[Shosh85]

@makeitup305  Holy moly! I've never heard of it, but I definitely want it now! Those shades are stunning! 🤩 

[makeitup305]

@Shosh85 this is their Lands of Enchantment palette (the sparkly shades). It's pricey but if you think of it in terms of multichrome singles it's not that bad. Great quality so far!

Drybar Full Pint Medium Round Brush for added volume and shine plus it decreases drying time.

Eeee

[CynthieLu]

I love round brushes @CorgiMommy 😍

I really want to try the full keg one someday, it looks so good for volume.

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, these really do give good volume; I love the results when my hair stylist uses it. I’m nervous to use one though - when I was a lot younger, I tried one of these brushes and my hair got all tangled up. All these years later and that memory still stays with me, lol. I should try to give it another go. 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi that could be frightening 

[itsfi]

C is for CAY SKIN Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Aloe Stem Cells Nude Ting. the newest shade in their lip balm line. This one has been added to my (every growing) list of lip products I want to pick up. I have the other 2 tinted balms in this collection - both beautiful - and can't leave this one behind. 😅 They're moisturizing and add a lovely tint and sheen to the lips. @CorgiMommy 

Up next, D is for ... 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi you are the lippies guru

[itsfi]

There are so many lip products being released @CorgiMommy. And so many of us lip lovers on BIC all chiming in with oohs, ahhhs and first impressions. Do you have a go to lip balm, tinted or otherwise? 

[CorgiMommy]

Bumble and bumble Sunday Clarifying Shampoo , a great product for really getting your hair clean without over doing it.   I use it when I swim to get the chlorine out.

[itsfi]

I was just looking at this shampoo the other day @CorgiMommy. It sounds really good.  They have a color safe version that’s a cream consistency. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi A is for Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette next up is B

[itsfi]

@lmaster, a classic.

[itsfi]

Z is for Naturally Serious Zero Baggage™ Anti-Dark Circle Eye Cream 0.67 oz/ 20 mL, didn't realize this product existed until now but am going to take a closer look - "anti dark circle" is fine by me. 😀 @lmaster 

Back to be beginning with A for ... 

[CynthieLu]

Z is a tough one @itsfi, good pick!

[lmaster]

Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask with Vitamin C 2 oz / 59 ml Y 

@Loretta55  next up is Z

[makeitup305]

@lmaster I used this almost as a night moisturizer for a while. It’s a great one!

[lmaster]

Yep I did that too 🤣 @makeitup305 

[Loretta55]

That is one of my favorite masks @itsfi. The yummy scent keeps me coming back.

[lmaster]

@Loretta55 its a keeper for sure
