Monthly Favorites: November 2025 Edition!

Monthly Faves: November 2025!

Howdy, BIC! I hope you’re all doing well, spending quality time with loved ones, taking care of yourselves, and getting ready to close out the year! I want to recognize that this season, especially now, can be extra busy with lots of pressure to shop ‘til you drop (hey, sometimes that is its own form of self-care 😜), so manifesting lots of peace, joy, and ~balance~ for my fellow Community members, whatever that looks like for you! As for me, I simply cannot resist a good deal, but I’ll be hyper-focused on mindful gifts and must-haves (okay, and maybe a treat or two for myself…) 😁

Speaking of self-care, here are some products that have sparked joy for me this month:

• EADEM Le Chouchou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm Burnt Malai 
• Kiehl's Since 1851 Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum with Ceramides & Peptide 
• Sarah Creal Face Flex Concealer & Complexion Enhancer with Caffeine 
• Shark Beauty Shark Glossi™ 2-in-1 Hot Tool and Air Glosser 
• VIOLETTE_FR LUNE LINER Multichrome Liquid Eyeliner Aurora 

Your turn, BIC! Use the reply button below to share your own favorite products for November. Be sure to tag any products you mention with the “#” symbol (hair, makeup, fragrance, wellness, skincare, etc.)!

@SportyGirly125 Great list! I love my Airstrait so much and that colorway is SO pretty. I don't need another, do I? 😅

I had such a hard time choosing between the Eadem balms!! Funny that we chose the same first one to start with! I was also considering Croissant au Beurre but I decided I have too many shimmers (is there even such a thing?)

[SportyGirly125]

@AlexBT Thank you. It’s so hard to resist things nowadays since I’m surrounded by so many beauty products.

@SportyGirly125 I've been curious about that UD palette, even more since there seem to be a lot of UD sales going on right now. And the Airstrait will always be a monthly favorite of mine. I didn't use it last week after I washed my hair, and I was shocked at how frizzy my hair looks without it.

@SportyGirly125  amazing list of favorites! I have lip balms coming out of my ears at the moment, but once I manage to use up some of what I have, I really want to try the Eadem lip balms - I have heard great things here on BIC!

[SportyGirly125]

@caitbird @Thank you 

[missjeanie]

@SportyGirly125Now that's quite a list!  I like that Saie Illuminator to mix in with heavier foundations.  And thank you for reminding me to add the Colour Wow back onto my list to re-purchase!

@missjeanie @Thank you

@AlexBT I LOVE the EADEM lip balms too. I always make sure to carry one in my purse. I just recommended them to my mom, and she loves them too. 

I'm really curious about the Violette_FR liner, and I've heard great things about the Sarah Creal concealer. 

Here are some of my favorites this month:
DIOR Forever Skin Perfect 24H Multi-Use Foundation Stick 
Danessa Myricks Beauty Mini Pastel Dream Freedom Palette 
AESTURA Mini ATOBARRIER365 Cream Moisturizer with Ceramides & Niacinamide for Skin Moisture Barrier ... 
Henry Rose Flora Carnivora Eau de Parfum Gift Set 
rhode Glazing Mist Hydrating Face Spray 2.7oz/80ml 

[AlexBT]

@PrettyPaint Solid list! I just picked up the cooling version of the Aestura moisturizer when it was on markdown over the weekend and I can't wait to try it! AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Cooling Hydro Soothing Gel-Cream Moisturizer with Ceramides for Skin Moisture Barrier Repair 2.03 oz / 60 mL 

[PrettyPaint]

@AlexBT I haven't tried the Cooling Hydro Soothing Gel-Cream Moisturizer. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. I'm curious to hear how cooling it is! 

[caitbird]

@PrettyPaint  great faves! I keep meaning to pick up that Danessa Myricks mini palette, it looks so good!

[PrettyPaint]

@caitbird Yeah, I read some people were having problems with some of the shadows arriving broken, but I haven't experienced any problems. I did buy mine during the second round after they sold out initially, though. 

[missjeanie]

@PrettyPaint I keep seeing mention of the Aestura moisturizer as a love.  I may need to bite the bullet and pick one up!  Do you find the Dior stick foundation sets down or does it need a setting spray with it?

[PrettyPaint]

@missjeanie I really love the moisturizer, especially as it's pretty affordable. I do think the Dior stick foundation needs to be set with a setting spray. My skin is mostly dry, but combination in some areas, so there is a little bit of transfer if I don't set it with a powder and setting spray.

Ohhhh, this is a fabulous set of favorites @PrettyPaint‌‌ ❣️ I have the Henry Rose discovery set but haven't yet opened it. How's the longevity of Flora Carnivora for you? Do you have other scents from the line that you enjoy?

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi I'd love to hear your thoughts on the discovery set. I have read some reviews stating that the Henry Rose fragrances don't last very long, but Flora Carnivora lasts for hours on me. Maybe it's just a "me thing," but I've found the longevity to be very satisfactory. I also like Dave, but it's not quite as long lasting for me.

Yasssa!  Love seeing Danessa Myricks Beauty Mini Pastel Dream Freedom Palette on your list @PrettyPaint

TBH, the whole list is 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[PrettyPaint]

@danielledanielle My shadow collection is now primarily Danessa Myricks these days! Love her stuff.

I can't believe it is already the end of November...where did this year go?! I hope everyone is doing well, staying healthy and taking care of yourselves as we head into the holiday season! 💜

Here are my monthly favorites for November, a handful of products that I've really enjoyed this past month:

💜NEST New York Pumpkin Chai Candle 8.1 OZ/230 G  Nest never misses with their candles, and this one is a lovely, yummy scent for fall.

💜Mooncat Nail Polish in Hell Is Other People - I picked this polish up during Mooncat's recent Lunar Sale, and have been so happy with it. Mooncat is one of my favorite nail polish brands, and this color is everything I could want in a nail polish! The brand describes it as "a dark wine linear holographic lacquer filled with purple-pink shimmer."

💜Noyz Unmute Eau de Parfum (sample) - I tried this sample from the discovery set this month, and I can't get enough of it! It's an addictive scent of plum and vanilla, with a bit of smokiness from the incense and a hint of spiciness from the cinnamon. I love it, and it's perfect for colder weather, too. I'm planning to pick up the travel size of this one soon!

💜LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm – Lightweight Hydration Lip Treatment with Shea Butter Berry  - it's that time of year when my lips get dry, and I'm constantly reapplying lip balm; I try to keep one handy no matter where I am, because there's nothing worse than dry lips! This is the one that's been living in my purse of late. I hadn't used this one in a while, and I'm remembering how nice it is.

💜Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Grape Splash - from Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Lined + Luminized 2-Piece Lip Set  - Fenty Gloss Bomb is probably my favorite lip gloss, and this gorgeous shade might be my favorite yet! I'm so glad I picked this set up during the recent sale, and am contemplating getting a backup since it's limited edition.

@caitbird This pic makes me feel so cozy! I love these faves... especially the chai candle!!! Sounds like a perfect gift.

@caitbird - Love Mooncat! 💜💜💜
