Monthly Favorites: July 2024 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

What’s happening, BIC? 🌞 I hope you are all staying cool during this hot summer (unless you’re like some of us in the Bay Area, still bundled up in jackets 😉)! Summer seems to always make me want to refresh my beauty routine and experiment with new products. The warmer weather (and, depending on where I am, humidity!) pushes me towards lighter formulas, vibrant colors, and all the SPF! Every year I return to this mission of uncovering summer must-haves that keep me looking and feeling fresh while withstanding the summer sun.

These are the products I’ve been loving so far this month:

• belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb SPF 45 Korean Moisturizer Face Sunscreen 
• dae Signature Shampoo 
• HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick Glassy Lila... 
• LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask – Intense Hydration Lip Treatment with Vitamin C Watermelon Pop 
• Salt & Stone Bergamot & Hinoki Extra-Strength Aluminum-Free Deodorant 2.6 oz 
• Urban Decay Face Bond Self Setting Waterproof Foundation

100% agree @cianni; I love when the monthly favorites thread comes out. It's one of my favorites on the forums. That Lawless gloss is beautiful! I love how it adds some oomph to my lips without the stinging that come with many lip plumpers. I've used Rosy Outlook (gratis) but have been eyeing some of the other colors as well. Have you tried any of the more tinted/pigmented shades?

@cianni  Wow! This is a solid list!!! Is it weird I have been waiting for this thread too!! 

[cianni]

@ather These threads are always the best inspiration!!

Fantastic loves this month! @cianni 💖 

I love and use both of those SPF's, they really are pretty phenomenal.👌

[cianni]

@CynthieLu thank you! It’s a bonus when a very necessary product like SPF can actually be a little fun!

[missjeanie]

@cianni Your body products are reminding me that I have a few of the same type to try out too!  So glad you had a great month for great products!

[cianni]

@missjeanie summer is the best time to pull out the body oils!! 

[CookieGirl1]

@cianni it's always fun when you re-fall in love with older products that have somehow slipped through the cracks.  Sounds like you had a good month!

[cianni]

@CookieGirl1 rediscovering products feels like a mini haul, except better because it’s free 😂 it’s like a little treasure hunt haha

[CorgiMommy]

@cianni you did have a good month !

[cianni]

@CorgiMommy it’s always nice to have a month with more hits than misses 🥰

[peculiarzmakeup]

Great faves! I love lawless gloss it’s such a nice feel. That hand cream sounds fantastic! Rosemary hair oil not me going to immediately look it up after reading this that’s amazing. FB makes great products. These are all so neat It’s so nice to learn from others I’m so glad you had such a nice selection 💕 @cianni 

[cianni]

@peculiarzmakeup thank you! I love this thread for all the inspo from others, so happy to have brought some newness to your attention!

[GeorginaBT]

NOTHING like Fenty body lava in my opinion @cianni ✨ I love bringing it with me on the occasional beach day. 😊

[cianni]

@GeorginaBT we need it in new shades!! Also the packaging is so luxe and heavy 😍

[Mellmars1185]

@cianni Wow, what a great month of favourites, new and new discoveries. I remember you mentioning the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair ™ Tiger Grass Camo Drops Color Corrector SPF 35 1 oz / 30 mL  and wanting to try them. I like your opinion on using it in the winter. If I get red, I may need to purchase this. The TE hair tool seems like it would work wonders for baby hairs. 

[cianni]

@Mellmars1185 Im a big fan of TE in general, and this did not disappoint! I picked up the PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Double-Sided Bristle Brush last year and it’s been amazing for styling purposes. I have the Cicapair calming mist that I use occasionally in the summer if I need a refresher, but it doesn’t have SPF. I think the name is something like that - it looks like it’s not available anymore, but they’re often floating around at Marshall’s 

[CorgiMommy]

My new favorite is Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask .  I love how it warms up when applied and I love  how my skin looks and feels after using  this product

I do think I have tried this before as I had deja vu when I used it.  Getting too old to remember what I have tried on the past 🙃

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, ahhh, that Farmacy honey mask is fabulous. Great to hear it performs well for you.

@CorgiMommy  Great fav! 

[GeorginaBT]

I think I've tried a sample of this before @CorgiMommy - I should revisit it! My skin has been sort of dry lately due to retinol usage.
