Monthly Favorites: August 2021 Edition!

[AlexBT]

August! I feel like I was just getting to know you and now it’s already almost time to usher you out the door. 😎✌ It’s safe to say I spent this month adding a little extra glow to my no-makeup-makeup routine, including experimenting with different bronzer applications, and really pushing the longevity of my hairstyle between washes. I guess you could say this month’s faves are a little uncharacteristically subtle for me, but nothing wrong with embracing all the easy-breezy relaxed vibes for summer – at least when it comes to my beauty routine!

Here are the products – new and old favorites – that I found myself reaching for most often in August:

• #Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo
• La Mer The Hydrating Illuminator Highlighter and Primer 1.4 oz/ 41 mL  
• Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Intense Moonlight 
• #Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment
• SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Bronzer Brush #80

@AlexBT These have been my favorites for the month.

@SportyGirly125, The Creme Shop does some nice sheet mask collabs. 

[SportyGirly125]

@itsfi I love Hello Kitty/Sanrio but this collab is way cuter.

[itsfi]

@SportyGirly125, would you say these BT21 masks perform better overall than the ones from Hello Kitty & Friends collab? Or do they provide similar results? 

[SportyGirly125]

@itsfi I haven’t tried that many from the Hello Kitty collab. I think it’s been 2 or 3 that were gifted to me but from the BT21 collab I tried almost all of them.  I never bought any from the Hello Kitty collab after I was gifted them.

It has been a while since I used the Hello Kitty ones before I really got into masking again. I can’t really compare because I don’t remember. Sorry.

@SportyGirly125 Mmm honeysuckle peach tea sounds amazing! I'm glad I can't smell or I'd have to hunt that down lol. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Samtian you still can’t smell?  Hasn’t it been like half a year or so? That really sucks. 

I got the body cream during the sale.  It's a seasonal item they brought back for it but I think they need to keep it year long because the scent last so long and I wish I bought more.

[Samtian]

@SportyGirly125 Middle of next month will be 1 year! Wow I didn't realize it had been that long.  Is it from Trader Joe's?

[SportyGirly125]

@Samtian Wow that’s such a long time. 

the Honeysuckle peach tea is bath and body works 

[eshoe]

@SportyGirly125 I believe the body cream will be back next month for a limited time. @Kim888 

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe @Kim888 @heartsmyface I just asked a BBW sales associate and he said he doesn't know anything about the Honeysuckle Peach Tea coming back next month.  He said if it does come back it will be for the semi annual sale.

[eshoe]

I will keep an eye out for it then @SportyGirly125. Their candles tend to irritate my eyes, but the wallflowers never do. I am surprised they haven’t ventured into the diffuser market yet @lmaster @Kim888 @heartsmyface  

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe Me too!

[Kim888]

I hope so @eshoe ! Thanks for the heads up - I’ll keep an eye out! 

[eshoe]

You are welcome, @Kim888!

[Kim888]

I’m jealous you got your hands on that body butter @SportyGirly125 ! Not one to be had at any of my local stores !!

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 I got it the first day it was released even before word got around about it on Instagram. I knew it was going to sell out so I bought one for Lmaster too. 

[lmaster]

@SportyGirly125 I'm totally obsessed!!! Just opened mine yesterday!!! Thank you to the moon and back 😘😘

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster Yay!!!! I am so glad you love it.  I can't wait for next week when all the Fall/Pumpkin stuff arrive.  Got to stock up on that Pumpkin body butter.

Did you know they discontinued the Blueberry facial scrub? 😥

[lmaster]

@SportyGirly125 no!!!! Dang it, go figure 🙄 mmmmmmm can't wait for the fall!!

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  That honeysuckle peach tea body cream sounds soooo tempting even though I’m extremely overstocked on creams.   I have an urge to declutter so I can rationalize trying that one.
