Monthly Favorites: August 2023 Edition!

Monthly Faves: August 2023!

Happy late summer, fellow BIC-ers! Team BIC was working remotely for the first half of the month (preparing to move into our new Sephora HQ!) so I bounced around a bit and enjoyed a change of scenery away from my typical desk setup. ✈ Exploring new places is fun, but there’s something so comforting and satisfying about coming home and getting to settle back into my routine again. No shade to all our fave minis (we had so much fun during ourMajor Minis Challenge!), but there’s nothing quite like having access to all my full-size beauty must-haves from my home stash after a few days of being limited to the pared-down regimen I’ve managed to fit into my carry-on!

Here are the products I’ve been loving this August:

• Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes Multichrome Gel for Eyes & Face Monarch 
• Farmacy Lip Smoothie Vitamin C + Peptide Lip Balm 
• MATTER OF FACT BRIGHTENING + FIRMING SERUM with 20% Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid 1 oz / 30 ml 
• SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager 
• Yves Saint Laurent YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick 02 healthy glow plumper and Yves Saint Laurent YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick 15 Showcasing Nude

Thank you @Samtian 🥰🥰

@jaaayp You are selling that Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara Electric Blue !  I had looked at it a few times during the Friends and Family sale and ultimately decided against... but now I have regret!  It looks gorgeous on you!

[jaaayp]

Thank you @missjeanie 🥰 I can see why you decided against it! For the price tag, you want something you can wear everyday (at least imo LOL 😆) but I am so impressed. 0 smearing/smudging and all mascaras smudges on me! I will definitely be picking up the black and the brown 😂

[AlexBT]

@jaaayp O M G.... I think I need that blue mascara. It looks stunning on you! At first I thought your eyeliner was blue, too - but the mascara just really pops. Beautiful!

[jaaayp]

@AlexBT I see why you thought that because I myself thought the same!!! Wearing the mascara with black liner,  I think you get the blue liner effect with additional intensivity of the black liner when you combine the 2!

Gorgeous favorites @jaaayp! I love how that vibrant pop of blue on your lashes - dazzling and fun. 💙 Ohhhh, I'm definitely going to have to pick up that Tom Ford lipstick; it's beautiful, and your nails are as well! 💗

[jaaayp]

Thank you @itsfi 🥰 I really do love how the TOM FORD Liquid Lipstick Luxe Matte for Long-Wear Lark wears throughout the day... I may pick up more shades (sorry, wallet 😅)

[CynthieLu]

@jaaayp These picks thou, 💙 I love your choice in Mascara. That's is a fun color! It looks like a real good time 😄

[jaaayp]

Really is @CynthieLu ! Never thought the mascara color would be wearable so I was thinking of different looks to wear it with but I just popped it on and it just adds!

[CookieGirl1]

@jaaayp I have the TOM FORD Liquid Lipstick Luxe Matte for Long-Wear Lark too 😁.  Initially I was worried that it would be too dark/brown but I feel like it looks so different on the lips than it does in the tube.  I can see myself wearing it a lot, especially during the Fall.

[jaaayp]

!!!! YES @CookieGirl1 !!!! I was definitely on the same page but omg the color on the lips 👏👏👏 it definitely is a fall color, love to see it!

@jaaayp  I want Lark- it's so beautiful!

[jaaayp]

It really is @Ispend2much6 !! Tbh, I was a little intimidated by the brown, it looks dark but I dab a little and blend on the lips and omggg, I am obsessed 😍

[dimesandnichols]

@AlexBT , I want them all 😮😍!

[AlexBT]

@dimesandnichols That's how I feel every time I stop by Sephora on my lunch break 🤣

[CynthieLu]

I need to try the Chrome Flakes by Danessa Myricks @AlexBT. Monarch looks like she's beautiful. ❤️

My favorites for this month are two makeup palette's I cant resist atm. My *keep my skin balanced* niacinamide serum, and my new brow besties. 😉 Along with a fantastic skin tint and a few others products I'm loving this month and just can't stop reaching for.  Fenty's Lip Stain and my Yummy blush are soo fun to wear. 🤩
