Spring is here, BIC! ๐ท The weather in California has been warming up, and Iโve been loving every bit of it. My skin, on the other hand, has not been its happiest lately, so Iโve called in a few anti-acne reinforcements to help me out โฆ and Iโm ready to add other recommendations to my shopping list if anyoneโs willing to share. ๐ I know Iโm not the only one whoโs started planning out my Spring Savings Event basket! For more basket-building inspo and details about this seasonโs promotion, check out Spring Savings Event 2022 Shopping Advice Thread: Whatโs in Your Basket?
These are the products Iโve been reaching for the most this month:

How does Chantecaille make everything they do look so attractive, @Sunnysmom? Even concealer! That Merit shade is gorgeous, too. I have yet to dip my toes in their lipsticks, but I keep seeing them everywhere. Must be about time ๐
Sadly so true isnโt it @eshoe ! ๐ญ And SMALL .
Yes. You. Do. You will love them!
Easy and done is a theme I can get behind @Sunnysmom! I totally get the need for speed sometimes. I haven't seen these Wander Beauty 2-in-1s - how handy! And I love the shades they come in. ๐
While I love a good slow makeup sesh I also appreciate being able to slap it on @GeorginaBT ๐ lol. I truly love this Wander stick and they way they melt into the skin so perfectly.
@Sunnysmom I've noticed that the CeraVe Healing Ointment has been hard to find as well. That's one reason why I put off trying it for so very long. It's so hard to tell with inventory these days what's really going on.
So true @greeneyedgirl107 ! Figures doesnโt it. If it isnโt discontinued now it could also be the supply issue.
@Sunnysmom One problem I had for the longest time was that it was never in stock at Ulta when I wanted to use a coupon, or for a sale, or to give to the minimum for a GWP. I'm actually surprised I ever got ahold of a tube at all!
All of those things seem to happen to me almost every time w Ulta @greeneyedgirl107 ! ๐ My CVS also had the big tubes I noticed.
@Sunnysmom CVS can have some nice goodies. I pass one on my way home from work, as well at two Walgreens. I keep meaning to kill some time and browse what they have, but all four of those stores are in inconvenient locations for me -- think of making too many lefts in or out!
They do @greeneyedgirl107 ! Really fun to browse their makeup depts with stuff all over to be discovered it seems! ๐ Oh no, I get that too! I wonder if thatโs a common theme! For both stores in different locations as well. Thatโs nutty!
@Sunnysmom Nice monthly faves! You just reminded me that I have a DS/mini of ILIA Fullest Volumizing Mascara but still haven't tried it. If you've used ILIA Limitless Lash mascara, how does this newer one compare? (I love Limitless Lash for a "my lashes but better" lookโor in my case, "hey, I do actually have lashes." ๐)
I noticed last year that CeraVe Healing Ointment was suddenly harder to find in stores. Not sure what's up with that. Maybe CeraVe's reformulating it? I dunno. If you ever see the "baby" version in the light blue tube, it's got the same ingredients as the original. The little travel tubes of the original are very hard to find lately, even online sometimes. I have a big jar of it at home (sits beside my big jar of Aquaphor) so I've just been using that.
Thanks @WinglessOne . I seem to like this mascara better due to the brush. I prefer a fluffy one to the harder plastic ones because I feel like I can layer it better and the other gets more clumpy to me. Itโs also less wet so easier to manage. My lashes look soft and more natural vs too spidery. Sadly as Iโve gotten older my lashes seem to be so light and this little guy really brings them out both in color, volume and length. I do often use the new Wander upgraded mascara or ByTerry mascara lash boost first tho. I do a lot of coats also due to the darn spectacles. Lol And Iโve always also liked any fiber ones vs tube too. (the Lorac fiber and Nars red and black are good as well I think. You try? Jones Road too ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ). Let me know if you try it and your thoughts.
Oh man Iโll be sad if they discontinue the tiny tubes. Grr. I hoarded a few of the medium size just to have them in case! A SA in Ulta did tell me she thought they were just OOS for a bit but I dunno. They arenโt even on site to be notified nor online. Ugh. Iโll def look for the blue tube too, many thanks! ๐ฅฐ
Thanks for the mini review, @Sunnysmom! I'll put my mini tube in a prominent spot on my bathroom counter so I'll remember to try it.
Fiber mascaras are hit or miss for me: some of them irritate the heck outta my eyes. Tubing mascaras are usually gentler on my eyes. I've never tried Lorac's, but NARS Climax Mascara Explicit Black is one of the few mascaras that don't make my eyes burn, at least not for the first 5-6 hours of wear. I haven't used it in a while though. I also like the By Terry mascaras I've tried, including the colored ones (I have the blue and purple shades) that really need a lash primer underneath. My favorite primer's still Lancรดme Cils Booster XL Super-Enhancing Mascara Primer .18 oz / 5.5 ml . I still haven't tried anything from Jones Road... I keep wanting to try one of their face pencils but I wish I could swatch somewhere in person to find the best shade(s) for me. Anyway, I'll look at JR's mascara. ๐
I hear you on fiber mascaras @WinglessOne . They can be so tricky. I like the look of tubing ones but canโt remove them easily without freaking out Iโll lose lashes! I know theyโre supposed to just come off so easily. Just never my experience. Ugh. I still donโt think Iโve tried Lancรดmeโs primer. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธIโll have to. Do you have a Credo close to you? They have JR I think right? Unless not all products but I would think so. Iโm curious about those too. I can risk trying any of their other stuff but not those I donโt think! (Iโm also curious about new face sticks from Jillian Dempsey, they look interesting!)
@Sunnysmom We do have a Credo in town. I forgot they carry JR now, thanks for the reminder! I'll see if they have the face pencils in stock.
Me too @WinglessOne ! ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Please report your findings and Iโll do same if I wander in store sometime.
March Favorites โค๏ธ๐ท
I absolutely love the K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL and Saie Sun Melt Natural Cream Bronzer that I received from @ohheyitscindyk from the Galentines exchange. The K18 has made a huge difference and I really like the scent. The Saie bronzer is so easy to blend and looks very natural. I usually always air dry my hair and JVN Complete Hydrating Air Dry Hair Styling Cream 5 oz/ 147 mL and JVN Complete Nourishing Hair Oil Shine Drops 1.7 oz/ 50 mL have been fantastic for shine and frizz control. I am in love with the new scent of Sol de Janeiro Mini Beija Florโข Body Collagen-Boosting Elasti-Cream with Vegan Collagen and Bio-Reti.... Thank you so much @eshoe for sending it to me! I got to test a travel size of Youth To The People Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL and I love it so much I already ordered a full size.
that new Sol de Janeiro scent is amazing!
@faeriegirl hurrah!!! I received my promo yesterday and did not expect to fall in love, but I did. It reminds me of going into Dillards with my Mom.
@eshoe Iโm so glad that you like it too! I donโt normally use a neck and chest cream so Iโm going to use it that way since itโs marketed towards anti aging.
Oooh thatโs a great idea, @faeriegirl.. plus it makes it easier to enjoy the scent that way.
