Monthly Favorites: May 2022 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

Summer is right around the corner, BIC! 🌞🌴 I’m manifesting glowy skin and luscious locks this season, and you know I’m leaning on beauty goodies to help me get there. I feel like recently I’ve been trying out products that are completely new to me, and I’m happy to report that several of them have already become regulars in my various beauty routines.

Say “hello” to my newfound faves! These are the products I’ve been loving in May:

• Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand Spotlight (+honorable mention: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand  which a few of you know I was ecstatic to snag 😉)
• Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm 0.12 oz/ 3.4 g 
• Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum 3 oz / 90 mL 
• Topicals Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 
• Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays Lightweight Foundation 

Now it’s your turn! Hit the “Reply” button and let us know what skincare, hair, makeup, fragrance, and/or wellness products you couldn’t get enough of this month (and don’t forget to use the “#” to tag your products). 😎

@ather, not necessarily. I think it depends on type of hair, what you’re looking for. I reach for something like the First Class when my hair needs something heavy duty, whether because my hair is oilier than usual or I’ve gone more days without washing it. 

Here’s a few paragraphs from an article on Coveteur(dot)com that talks about the different dry shampoos in the range. I’ve used the lightest one, Jet Lag, and thought that does a nice job too, in the winter when my scalp is less oily.

@itsfi  I’m intrigued! I feel like I need them all!! If it’s still a gwp I will snag that my next purchase! Hmmmm what do I need now 😜

[itsfi]

@ather, hahaha! From what I’ve read, there are quite a few new beauties coming out this month that look good. Keeping my 🤞🏼 the promo sticks around when something catches your eye. 😉 🛍 

[ather]

@itsfi  oh no what have I missed. I feel like I was only tracking the tower 28 coming to Canada and the sunscreen!!! Oh and Rhode beauty. 

[GeorginaBT]

Beautiful photo @ather! Which GXVE product is that? I've been loving GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 😊

[ather]

@GeorginaBT  Yes it is!!! It’s definitely been my go to.

@ather  Looks like you are ready for summer!

[ather]

@Ispend2much6  I hope so!! 😁

[ather]

@GeorginaBT  Ahhhh amazing May favs!!I love seeing Tower 28 foundation on it. I can’t wait to try it!!

[GeorginaBT]

@ather It's a great one! I started out applying it with beautyblender ORIGINAL BEAUTYBLENDER Makeup Sponge like I'm used to for all of my complexion products, but I actually prefer how this sits on my skin when I apply with my fingers. Major unlock for me -- so easy to throw on in the morning!

@GeorginaBT I picked up the Topicals Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration 1.7 oz/ 50 mL during the sale, but haven't cracked in yet!  This is a great poke to pull it out for tomorrow!  I attended the Sephora Digital Event tonight with Tower 28 and heard that the SunnyDays Tinted SPF will available in Canada tomorrow!  Set an alarm to make an online purchase first thing! All of your picks just scream sunny warm weather looks!

[GeorginaBT]

@missjeanie Oh great news that the Tower 28 foundation is now available in Canada! Good call on setting an alarm - my shade was actually sold out for a few weeks before I could get my hands on it 😅 It's popular for a reason!

The Topicals serum has been pretty effective for me - I was battling active pimples a couple months ago and this is helping get rid of the leftover traces. 😉 I'd love to hear your thoughts once you give it a try! I'll say that it does have a bit of a strong scent, but personally that doesn't deter me from using it.

The Farmacy honey lip balm is my favorite @GeorginaBT!💛🍯

[GeorginaBT]

Yes!! So good @faeriegirl. I like that it doesn't leave my lips feeling drier even after all the product has worn off - which some lip balms do for me!

My May faves -

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation Formosa ST4 - I love the lightweight, natural, perfect for everyday finish. 

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy - I have become obsessed with how soft this makes my lips. 

Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum - So beautiful. I get compliments every time I wear it. 

Tarte Glamazon “The Snake Lipgloss” - Perfect shade light makeup days or professional settings. 

Sol de Janeiro Mini Beija Flor™ Collagen-Boosting Elasti-Cream with Bio-Retinol and Squalane 2.5 oz/ 75 mL - I love the scent and how this feels on skin, I wear this on my upper thighs/back of the legs where ya girl needs a little more smoothing.

@alexasteph 

How hydrating or moisturizing is the Ilia serum foundation?

[alexasteph]

@missy94612 I find it creates a bit of a dewy finish if not set with powder, and I forgo moisturizer most days. I live in a very humid and hot climate though (South Florida), and my skin has no issue with hydration when I skip moisturizer and just wear this.

@alexasteph 

Thx.

[CookieGirl1]

@alexasteph I love the Lancome Idole perfume!  

[GeorginaBT]

Great faves @alexasteph! Love the love for the Ilia serum. I'm curious to try their new ILIA C Beyond Triple Serum SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen with Vitamin C 10% + Niacinamide 👀

[lmaster]
