Hello BIC! I’m new, but it feels like I’ve always belonged here!

[JennBT]

Hey EVERYONE!  I’m @JennBT, I’ve been here the past few months helping behind the scenes, but I thought now was a good time to introduce myself.  I’ll be here in Community for a few more months helping out @TeamBIC, while @LexBT is out on maternity leave.

Before we get into all my current beauty obsessions, let me share a little about myself: I live in the Bay area, but I am from Kentucky. I come from a long line of people who love to accessorize (Derby hats anyone?), and I was taught early on that makeup is the final touch to any good look. Our family is spread out all over the world, so we love to travel both locally and internationally! 

I can’t explain how excited I am to introduce myself to you all!  I have been a long time Sephora Shopper, and a huge lover of all things beauty!  After reading all your comments and posts, I can’t help but think I’ve found my Happy Place.

When it comes to make up, my go-to routine includes mascara, highlighter, a good lip, and if I am feeling fancy, I may throw an eye palette into the mix.

I LOVE a good highlight, and in general I’m drawn to warm tone metallics, so bring on the shine!  I’ve found they are the best complement to my deeper skin tone. I can’t tell you how much gold, bronze, and rose gold metallics you will find in my makeup bag. I’m always chasing that sun kissed glow, so I am totally open to any highlighter/bronzer suggestions!

Now, when it comes to hair, I have very coily 4a/4b, color treated hair.  I am always on the hunt for any product that hydrates coily hair and eliminates frizz and shrinkage.  Ahhhh the shrinkage!  I know some of my curly and coily hair friends can relate.  I love to give my hair a good conditioning mask and oil steam treatment (it’s like a facial for your hair).  It revives my hair and brings so much definition back to my curls.

I would love to hear any of your current hair obsessions!  I would especially like to hear any of your product recommendations for coily hair that requires a lot of moisture to protect definition and avoid shrinkage.  Here are some of my go to hair products! 

• adwoa beauty Baomint™ Deep Conditioning Treatment 16 oz/ 453 g 
• adwoa beauty Baomint™ Protect + Shine Oil Blend 7.2 oz/ 213 mL 
• Olaplex Mini No. 4 Bond Maintenance™ Strengthening Hair Repair Shampoo 3.3 oz/ 100 mL 
• Olaplex Mini No. 5 Bond Maintenance Strengthening and Reparative Hair Conditioner 3.3 oz/ 100 mL 

So what’s your hair routine? Drop your recommendations down below!

@JennBT  Hi!!!!! So happy to meet you! I love that you are obsessed with bronzer and highlighters. Best things in the world!! Have you tried Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment  I’ve been loving it lately!! Welcome can’t wait to see you around here!! 

[JennBT]

Hi @ather,

I totally agree bronzer and highlighter are the absolute best!  I have been using Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment. I recently started using it with Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Hair Repair Treatment, and it's been a game changer.

Hi @JennBT! I love the BREAD BEAUTY SUPPLY Wash-Day Essentials Kit for Curly & Textured Hair . The creamy conditioner and the hair oil keeps my curly 3C hair hydrated, soft, and bouncy.

[JennBT]

Welcome @JennBT. This is my happy place too. I have to agree with your love for the olaplex products, and now you have me wanting to try the Adwoa! 

[JennBT]

I love their deep conditioner!  It really brings definition to my curls.  I have their adwoa beauty Baomint™ Leave In Conditioning Styler 14 oz/ 414 mL on my list to try next as well!

Hello @JennBT! So happy to meet you; welcome to BIC! 😁 

My hair is straight, very fine, but I have a lot so it looks thicker than it actually is. It's always looking for volume and loves Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray 8.5 oz/ 300mL. I'm so happy Oribe is now available at Sephora! Yay!

Ooooh @fatimamummy  look at you tagging that econo size hair mask! I can respect it!! I grew up with my mom showing me how to price things by the oz or other smaller unit size, haha. We must come from the same line of thinking 😉

[fatimamummy]

Lol @CarolBT  I didn’t notice I tagged econo size or that it existed. Now that I know of it, you bet this is the size I’ll be buying next time 😄

[Titian06]

@fatimamummy @JennBT - I second the two Briogeo products!  🥳

Welcome to the community, @JennBT !  I've been using adwoa beauty Baomint™ Moisturizing Shampoo 14 oz/ 414 mL  I have fine, thin, wavy/curly hair with a dry, itchy scalp.  My hair feels soft and my scalp barely itches anymore.
