Monthly Favorites: May 2024 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

Hope the month of May has been blossoming beautifully for you, BIC! 🌷🌹🌼 I went on a bit of a beauty shopping spree last month (which, in full transparency, set me on a personal no-spend challenge in May 😅), so I’ve been taking time to really enjoy some of the new additions to my various routines. Some of my favorite products this month are ones I’ve been looking to try for a while (after being influenced by friends, social media, and – of course – fellow Community members). There’s nothing better than when something works just as you imagined it would! 

Here are the products I’ve been in love with this month:

• dae Vegan Detangle + Style Brush 
• Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom Lip Balm and Skin Salve Strawberry 
• Marc Jacobs Fragrances Daisy Wild Eau de Parfum with Jasmine 
• OUAI Hydrating Scalp Serum for Healthy, Fuller Looking Hair 2 oz / 60 mL 
• PATRICK TA Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo 
• Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer with 18-HR Wear 

What’s been working for you lately, BIC? Reply and use the “#” symbol to tag skincare, makeup, hair, and fragrance faves as of late. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Hi @luvsephoragirls and welcome to BIC! Are there any skincare or makeup items you reached for more often this month?

I had some fun new finds this month!  

PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo Just Enough is the perfect baby pink blush that I can't stop using.  It's definitely my favorite of the three of his duos that I own.  

My next pink pick is from Rom&nd--it's their Blur Fudge Tint in Berry Fizz and not only do I love the comfortable formula but it truly has a blurring effect on the lips and I love this pink color!

Not a new love but the Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara Noir has definitely earned its place as my #1 favorite mascara because it actually makes me look like I have nice lashes and it doesn't budge.  No flaking, no smudging, no joke.

Previously I've always just used my concealer as a modified eye primer but after I tried the Ulta house brand Pigment Pop Eye Primer I'm an eye primer convert.  I've always had a problem with my eyeshadow fading throughout the day from my slightly hooded eyes but this primer makes my eyeshadow stay put all day long and I'm here for it.

The Moist Diane is a K-beauty find and it honestly surprised me in the best way possible.  It's silicone and sulfate free but it lathers like crazy and yet it doesn't strip my hair--it just leaves my hair feeling light and clean and fresh.  I purchased it on a whim and I'm not disappointed.

One of my all time fav Bath & Body Works candles is Pumpkin Peanut Brittle but it's only offered in the Fall; the above Toasted Sesame is just a repackage of PPB so of course I had to grab a few 🙂

Hope you all have had a great May with a lot of your own favorites!

Ok does the lippie smell like fudge?? @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster no, I WISH!  I'm not sure why "Fudge" is part of the name...🤔

[curlychiquita]

I love PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo Just Enough too, @CookieGirl1! I didn’t know if it would look good on my warm skin tone, but it does!

[CookieGirl1]

@curlychiquita It's so pretty!  I have a slightly warm undertone as well and it totally works for me.

[faeriegirl]

Just enough is so pretty @CookieGirl1!🩷

[CookieGirl1]

@faeriegirl I love how cool-toned it is!

[CorgiMommy]

@CookieGirl1 the Patrick Ta blush seems to be a BIC favorite 

[CookieGirl1]

@CorgiMommy I have three of his duos so far and I'm definitely going to grab "She's the Moment" in the near future.

[CynthieLu]

Love. It. All! 🩷🩷🩷 @CookieGirl1 Ooh can you share what are all the blush duo's you have?( I'm currently hopelessly waiting for She's The Moment to restock 😉 )

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu Lol, I'm planning on buying "She's the Moment" as well!  It's in stock here in the US but I'm honestly just waiting for a GWP that interests me and then I'm buying it.  As far as the others that I have--I also own "She's Blushing" and "She's That Girl".
