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!

C is for CLEAN RESERVE H2Eau Eau de Parfum Discovery Set ~ I love discovery sets like these. They're a great way to try different fragrances from a brand. And, this is a reminder that I need to open up my set and start sampling the scents. @Loretta55 

Up next, D ...

B is for Buxom Full-On™ Plumping Lip Cream Gloss Dolly . I still remember my first time trying it. It was included in a Sephora Favorites set. It was used constantly and last summer I received a deluxe sized sample and I forgot how much I enjoyed using it. Of course I purchased a full sized.

C is up next.

@Loretta55, I loved reading your post on Buxom Dolly, and I love the Dolly shade. I *think* I have the shade in all the lines it is available. If not, I can see myself picking up what I'm missing. 😂 

[Loretta55]

It’s the perfect mauve shade @itsfi . Highly recommended!

@CorgiMommy, she really put brows in the spotlight with the launch of her brand. 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi  she is the master of eyebrows

"Waterproof" is good for products I use on or around my eyelids @danielledanielle. It doesn't seem to matter how cold the weather is or how dry the rest of my skin can lean, the skin on my eyelids, especially close to the lash line always seem to be oily. lol.
