Monthly Favorites: January 2025 Edition!

[KhyleyBT]

Hiya BIC, hope your year is off to a good start and January has treated you well! ✨ After some much needed rest over the holidays, I’ve been trying my best to ease back into the grind while taking special care of myself – s/o to our current 2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: Week 3 - Try out tools! for the assist. 💆‍ The weather is now at its coldest where I’m at, so moisturizing and hydration have been my top concerns this month.

I also make it my business to smell great—ALWAYS—and would be remiss if I didn’t plug the new Glossier You Doux EDP. 😍 I recently added to my fragrance collection, and she has quickly become a go-to. It’s the perfect warm & cozy, skin-like scent and layers well with other fragrances and scented body butters/lotions. 12/10 recommend 🙌

Here’s my full list of obsessions for this month:

• Glossier Glossier You Doux Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz / 50 ml eau de parfum spray
• OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment Cocoa Crème
• Sienna Naturals Plant Power Damage Repair Strengthening Hair Mask 8 oz / 236 ml
• Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench™ Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter for Dry Skin 8.1 oz / 240 mL

January favorites💙

 I am in love with the new iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Calm the Red Down Dual Chamber Redness Treatment Serum 1.5 oz / 50ml  . The serum side feels nice and soothing and the corrector works so well!

I didn’t think anything could beat the Tatcha rice polish but the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Refillable Exfoliator 2.6 oz/ 74g  has done it!

The Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Palette  is a long time favorite.

I got the Revlon mascara from Influenster and I was very impressed. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a drugstore mascara and I was very happy with the wear time and no flakes!

I love a good plum eyeliner so I had to get the new shade from Dior and it has been great!

[PrettyPaint]

@faeriegirl That's great to know that this is a good drugstore mascara. I will definitely give it a try next time I buy mascara. That liner looks really nice too. 

[CorgiMommy]

Fabulous haul, that plum eyeliner looks intriguing.   It has been years since i have lined my eyes with anything other than black or brown @faeriegirl 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Amazing faves! HG makes the most stunning palletes! Glad your enjoying these ❤️ @faeriegirl 

[Sunnysmom]

Great favs @faeriegirl ! I have heard such good things about the Dermalogica! The Hourglass palette is a beaut!

My Artic Aesthetic aka January Vibes  @KhyleyBT 

Nette Sunday Chess Candle 11 oz / 312 g 2 wick candle ... It's almost done 🥲, this brings winter time cozy vibes, like I'm at a hearth at a ski chalet without the chalet. Or the  skiing 🤣The clove reads smoky to me and it fills the room so well.  Cozy vibes.

CAY SKIN Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Aloe Stem Cells When I didn't feel like reapplying a lip this week, this gave juicy lips with low effort.  Chill vibes .

Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml This is my go to liner as you may already know.   It's easy for me to use and stays inky black.  Dependable like outer wear. Covered Vibes

Another Nette, but I have the sample of Nette Thé Vanille Eau de Parfum with Matcha and Salt 1.7 oz / 50 ml eau de parfum spray , it's got a punchy flower note and a mellow dry down.  That and PHLUR Golden Rule Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz / 50 ml eau de parfum spray were my go to #kin scents.  Doused many a scarf or collar in them. #Queen Vibes

And lastly, as noted in 2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: Week 4 - Indulging in body care My skin is drinking up Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Lil Butta Dropz Mini Whipped Oil Body Cream Trio with The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL .  May continue this combo yearly.  Quenched vibes.

[PrettyPaint]

@danielledanielle I definitely want to try both of those fragrances! 

[Sunnysmom]

You truly crack me up @danielledanielle ! 🤣 Also, brr, so sorry. I need to check out The Ordinary oil! ❄️

[curlychiquita]

The candles sounds so nice, @danielledanielle! I’ll have to try it.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Linework “werks” like all day it’s amazing. That candle sounds so good I love the name. These are such great picks ❤️ @danielledanielle 

[CynthieLu]

I fully appreciate your word play @danielledanielle. 😉 Artic aesthetics were entirely where we were at last month. 

I'm out of The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL  and I think it needs to stock up, winter is ddrrryyy.

[CorgiMommy]

That candle sounds awesome where or not you want to go to a ski chalet.  BTW, I am a yes to the ski chalet @danielledanielle 

[PrettyPaint]

@KhyleyBT Mmmm the new Glossier You Doux EDP sounds lovely and versatile. 

I actually purchased the Glossier you Rêve version, which I'll include as one of this month's favorites. I think this may be one of those polarizing kind of scents, but it smells sweet, plummy, almondy, and woody to me. 

Other favorites include Victoria Beckham's Satin Kajal Liner in Satin/Olive and the Ambient Lighting Edit Evil Eye Palette from Hourglass.

Glossier Glossier You Rêve Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz / 50 ml eau de parfum spray  

[Sunnysmom]

I adore this HG palette and VBB olive liner @PrettyPaint , wonderful favs! 

[PrettyPaint]

@Sunnysmom I'm glad you love them too! The olive liner is such a neat shade. 

[curlychiquita]

I sill live my Hourglass palette, too, @PrettyPaint!

[PrettyPaint]

@curlychiquita Glad you love it too. I feel like the hourglass palettes last forever! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Fantastic faves! That is such a stunning pallete. Do you wear the shades alone or mix them, it looks so neat! And the bottle for the fragrance is so pretty @PrettyPaint
