Hey BIC! Let me introduce myself…

[GeorginaBT]

I’m Georgina, Sephora’s new intern for the best group of beauty lovers – the Beauty Insider Community! In addition to my superhero team members @KatieBT, @BrendaBT, @LexBT, and @CarolBT, you’ll be seeing a lot of me, so I thought I’d give myself a formal introduction.

Crazy enough, I first joined the BIC when I was 13 years old. I was so excited to receive a fragrance from Sephora for my birthday that year, and I immediately signed up to post a review. After almost a decade of lurking on this community, here I am! I’m excited to get to know you all personally and discuss all things beauty...

So let’s jump right into it! I’ll start: As a college student, there’s nothing I enjoy more than hitting “snooze” on my alarm before my 8am classes. Nevertheless, I’ve gotten into the habit of setting aside time for a morning beauty routine – even if it’s just 5 minutes. I find that this helps me feel prepared to take on whatever I have planned for the day! When I’m in a rush, I reach for a few specific products:

• BAREMINERALS - BAREPRO Performance Wear Powder Foundation
• TOO FACED - Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara
• ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS - Brow Definer
• TARTE - Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush
• KAT VON D - Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

What are your go-to products for a 5-minute makeup routine? Be sure to let me know, I can’t wait to meet all of you!

I'm proud of myself for finally being disciplined enough to wear sun protection everyday, so I gotta give that Drunk Elephant sunscreen a try. Thanks for the recommendations!

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS - Clear Brow Gelon top of NYX microbrow pencil in ash brown

NARS - Sun Wash Diffusing Bronzer - Lagunathat i use as blush and light eyeshadow

SHISEIDO imperialash mascara. it won't let me tag it for some reason. best mascara ever. looks natural but not pointless, if ya know what i mean.

BOBBI BROWN - Crushed Lip Color in baby. i went from wearing a different lip color every day to wearing this one EVERY DAY for a while, and still most regularly. gone through 3 tubes !!

[PenelopeBT]

@jemly Just added that Shiseido mascara to my loves list. I love a natural, these are my real lashes type of look. I'm so over clumpy, spider lashes. <333

[GeorginaBT]

Hey @jemly! Thanks for the kind words, it's nice to meet you~ 

Thanks for these awesome recommendations! I love using bronzer as eyeshadow - it gives great natural-looking definition. Also very intrigued by your Bobbi Brown lip recommendation - if you can go through it three times, you KNOW it's good!! 🙂 

[Guessgal]

Oh yay! Good to know I’m not the only one using the Laguna as an eyeshadow sometimes 😁 @jemly 

[eshoe]

“Natural but not pointless” mascara is genius description @jemly 😄

[jemly]

@eshoe i want to scream this mascara from the rooftops. if you get a chance to try it, do. i have no interest in the recently launched 'volume' one in the range, as this one is everything i want from a mascara -- but i didn't know it until i tried it !

[eshoe]

It might be in one of the current promos @jemly 🤔 Going to take a looksie now, thank you! eta: it’s Controlled Chaos, bummer!

[Cyncynn]

@eshoe ditto! love it lol

[Samtian]

Hello!!!! And welcome @GeorginaBT ! For a 5 minute routine I'd focus on eye shadows, mascara, maybe some eyeliner, highlighter and Guerlain magic balls lol.

[GeorginaBT]

Hey @Samtian, thank you for the kind welcome! 🙂 That is a very solid list of essentials for a quick routine. Good call on the Guerlain Highlighting Pearls - I love anything that can brighten up my complexion.

Excited to hear more from you around the BIC! ❤️ 

[eshoe]

Hello and welcome @GeorginaBT! Love your question, I think for 5 minutes I would have time for the essentials:

SPF/Primer: COOLA - Mineral Face SPF 30 - Matte Tint

Cream Blush: Josie Maran Argan Color Stick in Guava Goddess

Eyeliner: Art-ki-tekt Waterproof Slim Eyeliner

Mascara: WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Mascara

Perfume: JO MALONE LONDON - Red Roses Cologne

Gloss: bkr Paris Water Balm in Muse

Looking forward to seeing more of you 😄

[GeorginaBT]

Hi @eshoe, so nice to meet you! I appreciate the breakdown of your essentials, and love that you included a perfume. I definitely need to explore Jo Malone - I have only heard good things about the brand. Personally, I have been wearing CLEAN - Ultimate since high school; I flip-flop between perfumes every so often, but always come back to it. 

I look forward to seeing you around as well! ❤️ 

[eshoe]

And I haven’t explored Clean much @GeorginaBT 😄 Jo Malone has so many I love. Nectarine & Honey Blossom and Wood Sage & Sea Salt are nice for spring-summer!
