Hello lovelies! I’m Darlene, a lippie obsessed gal! I may not know too much about hair or skincare or wearing make up, but I do know everything I can about lipsticks, lip glosses, lip balms, lip care... you get the idea, haha! I am from the Bay Area in California, but I will be moving in a month to Paris, France to finally stay with my fiancé. I’m tired of having to fly back and forth for over three years now! So I’m excited for the new, fresh start even amidst this pandemic. I blog over at The Foreign Gal where I love to write detailed lippie reviews and travel resources. I have been shopping for many years at Sephora, but I’m barely now starting to become more involved in the community. I’m excited! Take care, xoxo

Welcome to BIC, @Foreigngal !

I hope that your move to France is everything that you hope it will be!  I would love to live in the Bay Area-

The air in San Francisco feels magical!  I love the hills in San Rafael, too.

Welcome to BIC, @Foreigngal ! I'm also a lipstick junkie, so you're speakin' my language. I'd ask what your favorite lipstick is, but I know how impossible that question can be to answer—especially if you have lots (and lots, and lots) of lipstick. 🤣 So instead I'll ask: what are your favorite lipstick brands/lines? 

Best of luck with your move and new beginning!

@Foreigngal Welcome to BIC!

Thank you 🙂

@Foreigngal Welcome to BIC! Have a safe move and fun time in Paris with your fiancé. 

[Foreigngal]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it 🙂

[RAWRitsRED]

Welcome to BIC @Foreigngal!

I'm from the Bay too!  Super jealous that you're moving to Paris.  I've been there many times and I always enjoy shopping and the food!

[Foreigngal]

Merciiiii 🙂 Well, let me know the next time you’ll be in Paris and I’d love to show you around or recommend you places! & what a coincidence we’re both from the Bay! I’m so over this hot weather though, haha!

Hello beauties!

I am now 45 years old and a mom of a teenage boy.  Skin is in FULL swing now.  I find my hair and skin very dry after having years of combo so ALLLLLL my old products are now not working including makeup so looking for whole new lines and experimenting with lots of samples to find my basics again.  So far, I am liking OUAI Leave In Conditioner 4.7 oz/ 140 mLand OUAI Rose Hair & Body Oil 3 oz/ 98.9 mL and Drunk Elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL but looking for other things that might work.

After quarantine haircut and color 

I just had my first after quarantine haircut and color correction so I am feeling my cute again.

Welcome aboard, @TrinityRising ! Ugh, I know that "okay skin, we're doing what now?" 40something change all too well. I had to completely change my skincare routine a few years ago and, at nearly 49, I've finally settled into a pretty good place with my skin—where "pretty good" means I've at least narrowed down its tantrum triggers and figured out its new overall needs. I hope you find products that work well for you. There are plenty of helpful BICers who can help with that. 🙂

Welcome to BIC, @TrinityRising! I must say, I would never believe you’re 45 from that pic. You look amazingly youthful☺️

Hi!

My name is Ashley and I have been shopping at Sephora for years. Recently my skin has been changing a lot and is currently combination. I have been getting into serums and am working on rotating some of my skincare products. If I could splurge on any product right now it would definitely be the Skinlongevity Long Life serum from Bare Minerals. I ended up with a sample and love the way it feels and have read some pretty great reviews.

Welcome to BIC, @ItsShlee! I received a sample of  bareMinerals Skinlongevity Long Life Herb Anti-Aging Face Serum, too. Like you, it’s on my splurge list😊
