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!

P for PAT McGRATH LABS FetishEyes™ Lengthening Mascara 0.27 oz/ 8 mL  One of the only few mascaras that I actually repurchased.

[itsfi]

Ohhh, a repurchase mascara @fatimamummy? That’s telling. 

[itsfi]

O for Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray 8.5 oz/ 300mL love how this gives my hair some oomph and zhuzh! Smells wonderful! @ather 

P for …

[fatimamummy]

This spray has been a blessing for the days when one of girls wakes up with oily roots and no time to wash before school. I love how quickly it absorbs oil and add texture to roots at the same time without white powdery thing going on. Long story short I don't need to buy dry shampoos any more

[itsfi]

What a great testimonial for the product @fatimamummy! This one falls in the HG camp.

[ather]

@itsfi  Yes!!!! So good!!! 

[itsfi]

I love this stuff @ather! I like to have a full size and mini on hand. 

[ather]

N is for NATASHA DENONA Glam Eyeshadow Palette  this eyeshadow palette is gorgeous!!

O is for….

[itsfi]

@ather, ND Glam is a favorite of mine! ♥️

[ather]

@itsfi  Just so pretty!!! 😍 

[PrettyPaint]

@Cowgirl1300 

MAKEUP BY MARIO Mini Moistureglow™ On-The-Go Plumping Lip Serum Pink Glow 

I love mini products, and I currently have this in my make-believe, maybe-purchase-sometime Sephora cart. 

Next is N...

[itsfi]

I love the name of you Sephora cart this lip serum is in @PrettyPaint. 😃 I’ve wondered about this one too; the mini size would be perfect!

[Cowgirl1300]

@danielledanielle 

L is for LANEIGE Berries 'N Choco Kisses Set 

I want to buy this sooooo bad but it’s only in store!!!! 😭 

M is up!!

[itsfi]

Chocolate and berries, such a cute combination @Cowgirl1300! I'm not sure if you will be purchasing from the US or Canada site, but it's available for online purchase now on the US site.

@Loretta55, K is for KILIAN Paris Angels Share Eau de Parfum with Tonka Bean & Cinnamon .  I love the look and the smell of this one.  So yum.  Great splurge.

Let's go L!

[itsfi]

This is my favorite of the Kilian fragrances @danielledanielle! ♥️

[Loretta55]

J is for Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil @itsfi . This was included inside of my first Sephora Favorites set I purchased. I went to the store to have a BA help me with the use of this versatile product. I used up that bottle in 2 weeks and I immediately purchased a full sized bottle. 

[itsfi]

Ahhh! Your first Sephora Favorites set? How fun and I love that it included  product that performed so well for you @Loretta55❣️

[Loretta55]

I found so many true favorites in that first set @itsfi . As I became more of a makeup collector unfortunately I find many of the sets underwhelming.

[itsfi]

@Loretta55, sorry to hear that. I know it's harder for me to find sets that do not contain products I already have, but there are a few that occasionally catch my eye. I usually pick up the sun safety set every year - I find it's nice to have mini sunscreens on hand. 

[Loretta55]

I also purchase the sunscreen sets yearly @itsfi. I even found a new favorite in one of the sets Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 4.2 oz / 125 ml  .If I don’t purchase the kit I may purchase this.
