Monthly Faves: June 2024!

Happy Summer, BIC! I know I’ve been ready for it, and I’m eager to embrace the sunshine with low-maintenance hairstyles, cool down with some self-care, and streamline my makeup routine for a look that’s juuust dewy enough -- only in the places where I want to be. 😅 Some of these picks were even inspired by my fellow Community members, but then again, that’s nothing new! BIC knows best. 😇

Here are some of the products I’ve been picking up the most in June:

• Chunks Medium Checker Hair Claw Clip in Black + White Black + White (mine is technically the Rewards Bazaar version!
• Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g 
• Givenchy Mini Prisme Libre Illuminating & Color Correcting Loose Powder 
• HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick Glassy Pome... 
• LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer with Mint Extract

I get it @Ispend2much6. I’m sorry!  My lashes have been a little bit more sparce with thyroid issues etc and I was so surprised to see how this mascara really lifted them up. That little brush is so effective from all angles! My brows are hopeless tho. 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

[CorgiMommy]

@Ispend2much6 lots of great products , you have great taste 

[Ispend2much6]

@CorgiMommy  Thank you. 💕  I'm really glad to have had all of those hair products on hand, and gotten a fair amount of the others half-price.  Sales have been crazy lately!

[AlexBT]

@Ispend2much6 Great faves! Thanks for sharing. I just recently received the Kosas Dream Beam sunscreen as gratis and I can't wait to try it!

[Ispend2much6]

@AlexBT  It's been a happy month. 😀  I rarely get excited about a sunscreen, but for this one I did.  It's tempting to get the darker shade also, as the original shade runs neutral, and doesn't really make me look tan.

Rediscovering my stash 🙃 

• MILK MAKEUP Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Transfer-Proof Setting Spray 2.87 oz / 85 ml 
• Dior Dior Forever Matte Skincare Foundation new new. Love love ❤️ 
• Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer Orginal so good. So so good!
• NARS Talc-Free Powder Blush Deep Throat – 237 honestly thought I was using organic and I was like HM, was the orgasm this good?! Flipped and turns out, been using deep throat.
• Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Liquid Lip + Cheek Blush Stain Benetint 
• Lancôme Lip Idôle Squalane-12 Butterglow™ Hydrating Lip Balm this is pretty amazing. I absolutely love this thing!

@jaaayp, lovin’ and livin’ for your throwback picks! ♥️ 💯 agree with your comments on Benefit Hoola 👊🏼 It’s one of those products I just want to have in my stash always; such a great color. It’s awesome to hear how much you love the Dior matte - your new love feels like it could be a forever love for you! 

[jaaayp]

Thank you @itsfi ! Yes... I actually was digging through my stash and noticed that I have a WHOLE BRAND NEW HOOLA too. I'm pretty much done with the old one (yay pan it!) and excited to start the new one.

Yes.... the dior matte is becoming a problem as I'm trying to finish up the Haus Labs... 🥲 I'm not even touching my Armani anymore 🫢

[Mellmars1185]

@jaaayp Lovely favourites! How have you been using the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Liquid Lip + Cheek Blush Stain Benetint ?

[jaaayp]

I use it on my run out the door days @Mellmars1185 ! On the days where I'm running to the gym or pilates, just on the lips with no makeup. It's pretty amazing how much life it breathes into my deeead face 😉

[Sunnysmom]

The bronzer , the tint @jaaayp ! 😍 All so good to know! The new Lancome lip looks very nice! 

[jaaayp]

Thank you @Sunnysmom yes! The lancome is pretty amazing. I'm actually thinking about picking up more shades and I'm definitely not a lippie girl!

[CorgiMommy]

@jaaayp great classics

[jaaayp]

Thank you @CorgiMommy !

[AlexBT]

@jaaayp Beautiful faves! I have that Milk setting spray but haven't tried it yet... you're making me curious!

Also the "Butterglow" name alone is making me want to try that lip balm!!!!

[jaaayp]

Oooh @AlexBT you should try! I think it's better than the Primer (I have both lol). It's definitely mattifying although can't say it's lasting mattifying. It does help my oils at bay and doesn't leave a powdery finish. 

Have you tried the caliray Surfproof 24-hour Waterproof & Transferproof Setting Spray 3.4 oz / 100 mL yet?!

[Ispend2much6]

@jaaayp  Great haul! Does the Lancome balm have a scent?  Thank you!

[jaaayp]

Not any scent that I can smell @Ispend2much6 but I'm not too sensitive to scents so I might just be missing it. It may have a slight cosmetic scent but nothing overpowering like vanilla 🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@jaaayp  Thank you so much!!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you for sharing your faves of the month! @jaaayp 😊

You have beautiful items, I spy some D'ior. 🤩 love love? I need more details please. 🙏😜

Ooh I relate to this, sometimes I think I'm grabbing a specific color of a product and then for whatever reason, when you flip it over, what a surprise, it's not the shade you thought. I thought I owned Jubilee from DM but it turns out, I own Rose n' Brunch lol 😉 

[jaaayp]

LOL yes! That definitely happens all the time @CynthieLu even with foundation shades. I'm like, I swear I had XXX and I look at the bottom of the bottle and it's something totally different!

The dior matte is REALLY amazing. I think the coverage, consistency, and finish is 10/10 and the lasting power on my combination skin is 11/10. I don't see any fading at the end of the day and this may be the first foundation where I don't see the oil break through on my nose. The shade match is also perfect for me although idk if their fair/light range is big enough (it kinda jumps from fair to light pretty quickly...) I absolutely love it.. I haven't even reached for my Armani in weeks!
