Monthly Favorites: July 2025 Edition!

[KhyleyBT]

A summery helloooo to you BIC, and I hope July has been treating you well! 🌞 My summer is off to the races weeee. 🏁 We are lucky to enjoy Summer Fridays over here at Sephora HQ, so I’ve used those to plan some long weekend trips, river days and whatever else allows me to soak up the sun—queue up the Summer BBQ playlist 🎸🎵

With that in mind, I’ve paired down my makeup routine in the warmer weather and gathered some minis of my regular skincare regimen. Thank you to everyone who commented on myMonthly Favorites: May 2025 Edition! post about sunscreen recs! MERIT launched their new Tinted Mineral Sunscreen a few days after I posted, so I snagged that and have not been disappointed. It blends beautifully, has no white cast and as a Brown girl, it’s one of the first tinted sunscreens I’ve used where I found a good shade match. 🤎 12/10 recommend for any of you looking for clean & light coverage with sun protection!

Here's everything I’m loving right now:

• MERIT The Uniform™ Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45
• Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Firming Hydra-Gel Eye Mask Patches for Fine Lines and Dark Circles 
• Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench™ Jet Set 
• TOM FORD Soleil Lip Blush Balm with pH-Adaptive Pink Stain clear

Lights, camera, action BIC 📸✨ I wanna know what’s in your summer stash and what you’re up to for the rest of it! Make sure to use the “#” to tag your faves so we can yap n shop like always 💅

P.S. We are aware of a bug preventing new products from showing up in the product tag search, but don’t let that dampen hot BIC summer 🔥, we still want to hear about them!

The Angelique fragrance is for me aromatic. So if you don't like herbals, know that blast of herbal lasts awhile, at least for me. But I do detect those lovely grape skins as I do in the original. And it was a fast favorite for me.

@CynthieLu 

To me it's like sticking your nose on one of those big, fat purple grapes on the vine. So I'm not saying grape kids drink, but saying grape skins. I like the smell of grapes on the vine and I think that is how this scent and its flankers to some extent smell. It's more than just the grape-y scent though. I can see how some people would say it's mature or at least a bit so. This line is a favorite for me.

[CynthieLu]

Oooh I like the sound of it from your description @Margalee, thank you for that! 🍇🙏🙏

[PrettyPaint]

@KhyleyBT I'm glad you're enjoying the Merit mineral sunscreen. 

Here are a few July favorites:

Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Long-Wearing Cream Eyeshadow (I don't think I can get these to tag)

Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix
DIOR Rosy Glow Blush Stick 015 Cherry 

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh sunscreen 
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 39

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for sharing! @PrettyPaint I haven't laid my eyes or hands on the Color Stix from DM. If I can ask, what shade or shades have you tried? They are getting some serious chatter on BIC. ❤️

[PrettyPaint]

@CynthieLu I only have one. I got the duo called 5 (which contains cassiopeia and astra). I'm attaching some swatches (sorry they are indoors and the lighting isn't great).

@PrettyPaint  Pretty!  

[SportyGirly125]

@CynthieLu I tested them out in store on Saturday. They are so pretty but my coworkers say they dry down fast so you have to work in sections. 

[CynthieLu]

I haven't seen them in-person yet, that's helpful @SportyGirly125 🙏 

[CorgiMommy]

Great favorites, I am going to check out those creamy eyeshadows today.  The Danessa Myricks look like a BIC favorite. @PrettyPaint 

[PrettyPaint]

@CorgiMommy I'd love to hear what you think! 🙂

[CorgiMommy]

I have got to try those eye patches @KhyleyBT 

[KhyleyBT]

They're great @CorgiMommy and definitely a fave for all members of Team BIC! 😍 I sometimes like to put them in the fridge before I apply on a hot day and pretend I'm at the spa instead of at home haha.

[CorgiMommy]

@KhyleyBT what a fun idea!

[SportyGirly125]

@CorgiMommy @The PTR eye patches are my favs. I get them whenever they have a huge sale on them at Sephora or Ulta. 

[CorgiMommy]

Great idea, thanks @SportyGirly125 

[CynthieLu]

On sale is a great way to get them @CorgiMommy @SportyGirly125 

I got a set of 3 jars from Sephora last fall just before the big sale, it was a special set that has just come out, maybe a holiday release. Keep your eyes peeled for it if that sounds good to you. 👌

[danielledanielle]

@CynthieLu , yeah there's usually holiday set that comes out, it'll usually involve 24K ones, and two others.  Most of the time, you can get it during the fall sale for 20% off, too.  I wait for it every year, 😂

[CynthieLu]

It's worth waiting for, that's an incredible deal 😁 @danielledanielle
