Monthly Favorites: January 2024 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

New year, new beauty faves! 💁‍♀️✨ In 2024, I’m doubling down on beauty products that work for me – seeing dry patches on my skin? There’s a moisturizer for that. Need to prevent acne after a workout? I tried a facial spray to fight it off! I’m big on new year’s resolutions, and I’m using this time of year to find motivation to dedicate more time and energy to the beauty products and routines that bring me joy. 💜

Here are a few of the products I’ve been reaching for most this month:

• alpyn beauty Melt Moisturizer with Bakuchiol and Squalane 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 
• BondiBoost Rapid Repair Leave-In Hair Serum for Damaged Hair with Aloe 4.23 oz/ 125 mL 
• Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 
• maude Soak - vitamin-rich mineral bath salts 
• Tower 28 Beauty Tower 28 x Kung Fu Panda 4 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray 4 fl.oz. / 120 mL

That's awesome! 😀 You like it too?? It's a huge favorite of mine @CorgiMommy BIC inspired too 😉

[faeriegirl]

@CynthieLu  I forgot how much I liked the GR mist, I need to add it to my spring sale list!

[CynthieLu]

Ooh yeahy! You're a fan too? I love how it leaves such a nice subtle glow on the skin. 🤩@faeriegirl 💖🍉 

[faeriegirl]

@CynthieLu  It was my favorite before I discovered Youth To The People Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Peptides 4 oz/ 118 mL . The scent is so good!

@CorgiMommy everyone's been telling me about the mask for lychee but SEPHORA COLLECTION Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Face Masks Blueberry ! Didn't realize they had!! I love blueberry!!

[CorgiMommy]

@jaaayp the Lychee one is worth it also 

[ather]

@CorgiMommy  Sounds like you are keeping your skin super hydrated! 

[CorgiMommy]

@ather the winter can be brutal on my skin

[faeriegirl]

@CorgiMommy  The Tatcha essence and Inkey list HA serum are favorites of mine too. I need to try the blueberry mask!

[CorgiMommy]

@faeriegirl thank you.  The blueberry mask was an unexpected favorite 

[missjeanie]

@CorgiMommy I don't think I've tried the Blueberry version of the SC sheet mask.  I need not for another mask... but I'm going to be keeping this one in mind!

[CorgiMommy]

@missjeanie I really enjoyed it.  When you need another sheet mask give it a try

A couple of winter scents and some makeup beauties round out my favorites for this month @GeorginaBT .

January 2024 Favorites

January Favorites Debriefed:

Spoiler

Maison Francis Kurdijian Oud Satin Mood is not your traditional oud. It feels softer, more delicate, maybe owing to the mix of fresh but subtle rose petal notes, a mildly powdery floral scent, and a warm, sweet (but not sugary) hint of vanilla. This is a winter scent for me, one I’ve been reaching for often this month, in both the parfum and this body oil version. 

A classic and tried-and-true fave for me, Bobbi Brown Mini Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer with Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid 0.... hits all the high points for prepping my dry skin for makeup this time of year - easy to apply, comforting and balmy without being greasy, heavy, goopy or tacky. I love how it soothes, hydrates, moisturizes & smoothes my skin.

I've had Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' Winter Stroll Candle 5.82 oz / 165 g 1 wick candle burning at home for most of the month. Fresh, cozy, pine tree notes give the throw its initial wintry feel; softer than I expected as I don't pick up an alpine snow scent to it, either when lit or cold. It's rounded out by an unexpected mens' cologne scent that took me by surprise at first, but has become one of the notes I've looked forward to taking in, with its comforting, almost familiar feel to it. 

The new SEPHORA COLLECTION Sephora Colorful® Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Multi-Stick 11 Truffle Shimmer  has been a lovely surprise this month.👍🏼 It’s quick and easy to use, nicely pigmented, and stays on, without creasing, even on these oily lids of mine. Love that it comes with a sharpener inside the cap.

Soft, smooth, lightly hydrated, beautifully reddish-brown tinted lips are mine with the DIOR Dior Addict Lip Glow 20 Mahogany#. I've been carrying it with me in my purse, coat pocket, etc. all month. 💄

This picture is so elegant @itsfi ! Have you tried the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer & Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid ? I got gifted this for my grand canyons under the eyes and idk if I'm using it incorrectly. I love the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer with Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid 1.7 oz/... myself hehe 🥰

[itsfi]

@jaaayp, thank you. That's good of you to say. 

You know, I've seen the BB eye primer but have never gotten around to picking it up, for purchase or to just test it out. I love the BB face primer for all over so I didn't really give it another thought. Do you find the texture or formula on the eye primer to be different to the one on the face primer? What primer do you typically use for your eyes, if you use one?

[jaaayp]

I think the consistency is a little thicker @itsfi which... I assume is supposed to fill in the fine lines 🤔🤔🤔 I don't usually use a separate undereye primer although.. I did buy the HUDA BEAUTY Glowish Blur Jam Silicone Free Smoothing Primer specifically for the undereye which I just ended up loving to use all over anyway 😂😂😂😂 how about you? Do you also have grand canyons under the eyes like meeeee 🫠

@jaaayp, if I don't get a good night's sleep or if it's allergy season, my eyes will get puffy and I can sometimes get dark circles. I've found SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine can be helpful in the mornings as the week wears on.
