Just a few makeup favs this month:

--The DIOR Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick is worth the hype!  It's become my perfect out-the-door foundation especially for mornings when I'm in a rush because it's so easy to swipe it on and it blends out in seconds.  Bonus points because it also has a beautiful natural finish and it wears well.

--I understand why the NATASHA DENONA Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Medium to Full Coverage Crease Proof Serum Concealer is so popular.  It's thin and lightweight but has surprisingly high coverage and I've hardly reached for any other concealers since I bought this one earlier this month.

--Tarte makes some of my favorite lip products and as it turns out, the tarte creaseless loose setting & brightening powder has quickly become a new favorite powder.  I have dry skin but this doesn't emphasize dryness and it definitely has a blurring effect (which I really appreciate).  I picked up the translucent shade but I could see myself going back for the banana shade eventually.

--The Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush Chilly was an instant hit with me (thank you for gifting this to me, @TeamBIC!) and I've worn it so much since receiving it a couple of weeks ago.  I like the color, the formula, everything about it...and now I'm eyeing the shade "Baby".

@CookieGirl1  Nice favs! 

[Mcakes]

@CookieGirl1 omg I've forgotten how much I love foundation sticks! I've been in a rut with my La Mer tinted moisturizer, I'll try this one next. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Mcakes it's so convenient but it looks so...effortlessly good?  Definitely try it.

[Sunnysmom]

Agree on the Dior stick @CookieGirl1 , it’s the most elegant soft finish but yet it covers. Yesss to the blush! 

[makeitup305]

@CookieGirl1 awesome choices. I have the Dior on my wishlist since it's got such great reviews on BIC and social media. Glad you like it, too.

[CookieGirl1]

@makeitup305 I'd definitely recommend trying it 🙂

[CynthieLu]

I've heard really great things about D'ior's foundation stick and Natasha Denona's concealer @CookieGirl1 I'm so happy to hear they worked so well for you. 💖  Amazing!

The gratis blush was a very pretty shade and formula, I'm going to go check out Baby and see what she looks like. 😉

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I was sucked in by the hype on the DIOR Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick as well as the ND concealer and sometimes when that happens I end up being disappointed but I was very happy that both of these turned out to be winners 🙂

[CynthieLu]

If ND was still in Canada I'd have been all over trying that concealer by now. 😉 But my wallet is thrilled it gets a break. @CookieGirl1 

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a deal to come along so I can justify the D'ior stick. So many BIC opinions I value are thrilled with it's performance. One day... one day.. 

[AMK721]

@CookieGirl1 all of those sound so nice. I might have to check out that foundation stick. 

[CookieGirl1]

@AMK721 It's definitely the best stick foundation that I've ever tried.

[CorgiMommy]

That foundation stick sounds awesome,  anything that can get you ready faster is always welcomed.  @CookieGirl1 thanks for the review 

[CookieGirl1]

@CorgiMommy I was hesitant to get it since it's a little more expensive but it was absolutely worth it.

@lmaster hot cocoa anything has my heart, but the Ami Cole is calling my name! Loved the one we got in gratis a few years ago.
