Beauty Ice Breakers

[danielledanielle]

BIC is the place to talk about beauty!  There are lots of fun threads, from mask to makeup (and even photo A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge ) challenges all the way to pet paradise.  In my early days, I kinda wanted to talk to everyone, but I didn't know what to talk about, I just knew I loved makeup and had found my people.

With threads like Monthly Favorites: May 2024 Edition! or
Community Favorite Concealers: Tag your Holy Grails!  , Beauty Pet Peeves 2 I feel the most comfortable when chiming in because I can talk about makeup.  I figured, hey, let's open up some discourse amongst ourselves; a thread with getting to know you questions could be kind of fun.  (And, I still get to talk about makeup.)

photo cred: HelloGiggles

I'll post a question and a phrase with a blank and change it weekly? periodically. Answer one or both.

Refreshing lip combo @Cowgirl1300 !

[danielledanielle]

Ooh, I love this list of songs already @Samtian , @Titian06 and @CorgiMommy 

[CorgiMommy]

@danielledanielle 

Theme song is "The Glamorous Life" by Sheila E.

My current go-to lip combo isn't a combo but just Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Lips Lipstick - Pillow Talk Collection Pillow Talk 

[Titian06]

Love your choice, @CorgiMommy ! 😍  Takes me back to my college days.

[Samtian]

Oh jeez this one makes me laugh trying to think of something. My mind sure goes blank a lot. And I love music. I'm gonna say Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard. That song just gets me in a good dancy mood. 

My current lip combo is...none 😬 I'm just using random things. 

[Titian06]

@Samtian - My mind was a big blank too and I live for music!  Then I reread @danielledanielle 's choice and Roxette started playing nonstop in my head. 🤣  Good enough!

Love Def Leopard...your choice is great!  Photograph would be a good one too. 😘

[Titian06]

If you had a theme song (think like 90s sitcom) when you put your makeup or skincare on, what would it be?

The Look by Roxette

AND/OR

My current lip go-to combo is _________.

My lipstick coordinates with my makeup, which coordinates with my clothes.  Thus, I wear something different every time I wear makeup.  My day-to-day nonmakeup lip product is LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Peach

@Titian06 @danielledanielle @CorgiMommy @Samtian Someone needs to start a public playlist with all these theme songs!

[danielledanielle]

Methinks you know where I was going with this.... BIC Playlist 😉

[Samtian]

Happy 2024, everyone! 

What did you get for Christmas? (or if you don't  celebrate, Boxing Day/End of year sale?) Beauty wise I got 4 nail polishes and the Otherland Boudoir Rogue candle that is to die for. I'm not joking, I need that in a perfume asap. 

My goal for this year is work on my pan it project and shopping my stash. Only buying what I need. 

[JoSometimes]

@Samtian these are all smart goals to work towards! 

[Samtian]

@JoSometimes Thank you! It'll be tough but rewarding. 

[JoSometimes]

@Samtian I believe in you! 👍

[danielledanielle]

That's a sensual sounding candle @Samtian .

You definitely are on your way, your panning last year was 👍🏽👍🏽

[Samtian]

@danielledanielle Awe thank you!!

[itsfi]

@Samtian, the notes on that candle sound interesting. Do you pick up a lipstick scent? 

[Samtian]

@itsfi I do, I'm in love with it lol. 

[itsfi]

Saw this thread last night @danielledanielle; bookmarking it now. Jumping right on in!

What did you get for Christmas? (or if you don't  celebrate, Boxing Day/End of year sale?)

A gift certificate for a spa day. 😍🎁

My goal for this year is _______.

Making massage therapy a more regular part of my routine. Not necessarily monthly but more frequently than when the aches, pains and knots become too much. 

[danielledanielle]

Oooh, highly encouraged you do it at least seasonally (4x/yr) @itsfi .  Pre-pandemic massages were at least a twice a year minimum for me.  There's used to also be a "spa week" twice a year where services were discounted, but I don't think that's a thing anymore.  I just get them now when I can, but man, I used to get them at a deal.

[itsfi]

That’s sound advice @danielledanielle; thank you! Seasonal massages (once per quarter) would be a good minimum. I can see going more frequently in times of higher stress.

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi great goal, I have made massage a part of my regular routine for a few years.  Even started getting my dogs massages to keep them comfortable
