End of May already, BIC โ hope you are all getting as much sun as we have in the Bay Area. ๐ Now that the month is almost up, you know what that means: itโs time to share our monthly faves! Recently I have revisited and slowly revamped my personal self-care routines, and I feel that my current favorites reflect that. Now, the rest of the Beauty Insider Community and I would love to know: what beauty products have you been reaching for most this month? All skincare, hair, makeup, fragrance, and wellness recos welcome. ๐
Here are my May favorites:

@GeorginaBT The Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush Power Hour must look great on your skintone! Those blushes (and their bronzers!) are amazing and some definite favs for me as well :).
Aw, I gotta snap a photo next time I throw it on @CookieGirl1 ๐ Always love a terracotta shade when it comes to blush or lip product.
Need to try out their bronzers next!
@GeorginaBT Great choices!!! I also always use my Sephora Collection rose quartz roller!!!
@ather YES, it's so good! I keep mine cool in the fridge (which I believe @WinglessOne suggested to me a while back? ๐) and it feels great on the skin. I've had it forever and would use it for periods at a time, but after buying a gua sha I'm more inclined to incorporate it into a regular facial massaging routine.
@GeorginaBT I'm really loving my T3 Lucea ID 1โ Smart Straightening & Styling Flat Iron with Touch Screen . It glides through my hair so easily, and leave is straight, sleek and shiny. I just need to figure out how to use the touch interface component more easily! Happy I found it!
Oooh, I'm always intrigued by good reviews on hair tools @greeneyedgirl107! Glad you're liking this one - I'm a regular flat-ironer so I'm taking note. ๐
I really wanted to try this but wasnt sure it was worth the hype. Thanks!
@GeorginaBT I have that Glow Recipe cream but haven't tried it yet; glad to hear it's a nice one. It seems so thick and luxurious!
@Ispend2much6 Oh yeah, of all my faves this month I think this is my holy grail! I've been a fan of how Glow Recipe's watermelon skincare smells for a long while, and was so happy to find out they incorporated the watermelon goodness into a body lotion. It's a creamy consistency and absorbs quickly when I apply it after a shower. Love that it has hyaluronic acid built in ๐
@GeorginaBT that Tower cheek must be good stuff; it seems to be a huge hit here! May Favorites are all about sharing the (beauty) ๐ love!
Skincare loves this month include the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Refillable Moisturizer 2.5 oz / 75 ml (๐ฅฐ @sprocketta), Violette_Fr Boum-Boum Milk, and Leahlani Tropical Enzyme Cleansing Oil in Pamplemousse. The cleansing oil is extremely gentle and has a sweet grapefruit scent. The Boum-Boum has been solid in terms of fulfilling its 3-in-1 toner/serum/moisturizer claim. I am going to decant a small spray bottle for my purse, as it will make a great little travel companion!
The wand on the ILIA Mini Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara After Midnight is like having all of my favorites blended into one; itโs so easy to use and lengthens & separates beautifully. Finally, the Violette_Fr Avec Amour Perfume Oil has the most unexpected scent. Initially I could only detect a bit of play-doh, but as Iโve worn it, rubbing my wrists together to warm it up, it takes on a soft, warm and subtle coziness. Maybe even a Commodity Velvet Extra-Light or hint of nag champa, without the musty-ness. Itโs not the kind of perfume others might notice, unless very close to you. I appreciate that very much, since there are many who are sensitive to fragrance, even in my own family.
Love these faves @eshoe! The Tatcha moisturizer really seems to work well for so many folks. The Ilia mascara is amaziiiing โค๏ธ
And yes, the Tower 28 blush is a great formula, with really pretty shades to pick from! It wears for quite a while on me, mask and all.
Well, it sounds like I need to choose a shade in those blushes ASAP, @GeorginaBT ๐๐ผ Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush Golden Hour looks like nothing I have so it might be a good bet!
@eshoe One of these days (when I run through some of my other moisturizers) I really want to try the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Refillable Moisturizer because I feel like EVERYONE loves it and I'm definitely having FOMO.
@CookieGirl1, I canโt believe you havenโt tried it yet! It is definitely worth a sample, just to see how it looks and feels on your skin. But I know how it feels to be overrun with skincare๐
@eshoe Yeah, I'm the last one on the planet to try it but I'm trying so hard to be good about finishing what I have first. Sometime when Sephora offers it as a point perk I'd love to try it, though ๐
I was thinking that, too @CookieGirl1 - or if there is a Tatcha set of minis with another product you liked.
@eshoe The ilia limitless mascara has been my yearly fav!! And the tatcha ๐ great choices!!
@eshoe Oh, that perfume sounds great! I'll have to check and see if any of the perfume sample sites are offering it. I wonder what makes the "play doh" scent; I've encountered it in many varied products.
Isnโt it bizarre, @Ispend2much6? @Shosh85 just mentioned the Melt blush has a play-doh scent. I know that I have used sheet masks that remind me of it, too. I wonder if it is due to a type of preservative, as I canโt imagine it being an intentional scent๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@eshoe This isn't the same thing, I'm sure, but I can always tell when my wheat kernels or rice has gone bad when it starts to smell like crayons. It's a similar scent.
