Monthly Favorites: March 2022 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

Spring is here, BIC! 🌷 The weather in California has been warming up, and I’ve been loving every bit of it. My skin, on the other hand, has not been its happiest lately, so I’ve called in a few anti-acne reinforcements to help me out … and I’m ready to add other recommendations to my shopping list if anyone’s willing to share. 😉 I know I’m not the only one who’s started planning out my Spring Savings Event basket! For more basket-building inspo and details about this season’s promotion, check out Spring Savings Event 2022 Shopping Advice Thread: What’s in Your Basket? 

These are the products I’ve been reaching for the most this month:

• Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper Lemon Lava 
• Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Strengthening and Reparative Hair Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL 
• The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque

@Skunk12puzzola, thank you. Tea is part of my self-care. 🍵

[Skunk12puzzola]

Agreed @itsfi ! it's part of my night routine! black tea and skincare 🥰

[itsfi]

@Skunk12puzzola, sounds so nice. Curious to know if the black tea keeps you awake? 

[Skunk12puzzola]

Not at all!! I'm so use to it, that it almost puts me to sleep.....quite the opposite effect for me!! it makes me relax 💤 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Ha @Skunk12puzzola! 😆 I get that way when I have coffee with dessert after a meal. But if I have caffeinated tea too late in the evenings, I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and may not be able to fall back to sleep for a while. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

Oh no! @itsfi it happens to me with coca cola. If we eat pizza for dinner, and we want to drink coca cola, I can't sleep all night and afterwards, it's terrible. And, in the morning, you feel sooooooo tired 😓

[Sunnysmom]

This may be one of my fav pics of yours to date @itsfi ! Love it. I have to use my Sephora lip more, good reminder. Cherry B looks so perfect for spring! 🌸💞

[itsfi]

Awww, that's so nice to hear @Sunnysmom; thank you! 😃 Taking photos is a creative outlet for me. Oh, these Sephora Collection lipsticks are good. I like the color selection too, though I wouldn't be mad if there were other lip shades introduced to the range. You picked up Iris, yes?

[Sunnysmom]

Sign me up for the class @itsfi ! 📷 😊 Yup I did. So comfy. I would love more shades as well! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, a class would be fun. Maybe when there’s more time; for now, I just play around with taking shots on my phone. @Samtian started a photography post that has been fun to check out -  A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge - Beauty Insider Community (sephora.com) - there are a lot of talented folks we have. 

[Sunnysmom]

Oh good reminder on the thread thanks @itsfi! @Samtian is a wonder as well as many! 💞

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, it's such a fabulous thread that @Samtian started. She has such a passion and talent for photography and it shows. ⭐ It's awesome to see the photos that she and others here create. 😍

[Samtian]

@itsfi 😭 You are so sweet. I love seeing what everyone comes up with!

[itsfi]

Aww, thanks @Samtian, but I'm just callin' it like I see it! 

I've been meaning to try a mono on mono shot, but work and other commitments have taken up most of the daylight hours; I will get to taking a stab at it before the month is over. 🤞 100% agree; it's been great to see what everyone comes up with. 😍

[Samtian]

@itsfi Oooh I cannot wait to see that!!

[Sunnysmom]

Ok thanks @itsfi I’m in! Such a big learning curve, so much to learn! 😚

[GeorginaBT]

Beaaauutiful flat lay photo, @itsfi ❤️ I always look forward to seeing how you capture your favorites. 😊

I'm loving the GXVE priming oil too! I was a little intimidated since I lean on the oily side, but I loved how lightweight it actually feels under my foundation. 

[itsfi]

Thank you so much @GeorginaBT! 🥰 The monthly favorites thread is always one of the threads I look most forward to seeing pop up on my feed. ♥️ It’s a welcome reminder to reflect on the beauties for the month. I love reading about everyone’s favorites. It often means my list of products to try grows longer and longer. 😆 

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi , I always enjoy your photos and faves, and we have one in common this month 🙌🏼

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @danielledanielle! 😊 The Chloe perfume is just the right amount of soft and floral. 🥰
