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!

@Loretta55 

I have it and I really like it. One of my favorites for winter ❄️

[Loretta55]

I found a new favorite @Lila12345678. I am really impressed by INNBEAUTY PROJECT Glaze Lip Oil Piña Colada . I don’t care for anything coconut but I don’t detect any coconut scent. I own all of the different scents but Pina Colada is my favorite. Also of all of the scents only one scent was a personal let down.

[Lila12345678]

@Loretta55 
Oh! Thank you for the recommendation 💄

[Loretta55]

I have recommended it to many people and everyone agreed with me @Lila12345678.

A hydrating balm is a must this time of the year @Loretta55!

@faeriegirl 

S is for Sephora Collection as in  SEPHORA COLLECTION Melting Cleansing Balm with Algae Extract 4.22 oz / 125 mL. I stumbled across this balm after Pharmacy's original balm was discontinued in Canada. I think it's a fabulous dupe and is pretty fantastic at removing stubborn make up and sunscreen.

Next up is T!

@Loretta55, N is for NEST New York Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL 

Gimme an O for ...

[itsfi]

Ahhhhh, vanilla. I like this one on its own as well as layered with the other fragrance oils in the collection @danielledanielle. 

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi, it's great for that.  I was layering it with Atelier Vanilla Insensee so the lime and coconut could meet

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, that’s a good meet! Nice matchmaking. @danielledanielle!

[Sephora4life482]

Gimme a P

[Lila12345678]

@Sephora4life482 

This oil is my favorite one. I even like it better than Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil  or Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine 2 oz/ 60 mL 

It’s lightweight and it makes my hair shiny and soft.
