Monthly Favorites: September 2022 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

End of September already, BIC! 🤯🍂 Beauty-wise, this has been a month of hydration for me, and that is definitely reflected in my monthly faves. To be honest, a few of the products I’m shouting out here have actually been at the top of my list for the past couple of months, but they’ve become so integrated into my regular routine that I almost forgot about them (considering the number of times I wash my hands throughout the day, is it safe to say that the Ouai soap is my most-used beauty product?). Hydration heavy-hitters aside, I wish I could transmit scent through the BIC and out from your screen for you to catch a whiff of the floral magic that is my new go-to Nest perfume… 😌

Here’s a list of the products I kept coming back to this month:

• Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Firming & Lifting Eye Cream 0.5 oz / 15 mL 
• Ceremonia Mascarilla de Babassu Hydrating Hair Mask 7.8 oz / 230 mL 
• Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Refillable Moisturizing Cream with Squalane 
• NEST New York Wild Poppy Eau de Parfum 
• OUAI Hand Wash 16 oz. 
• Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine

Recently I’ve been trying to focus on easy everyday items rather than ones for full glam/special occasions, so keep that in mind. 

1. Fenty Skin Fat Water Niacinamide Pore-Refining Toner Serum with Barbados Cherry 

Love this so much! I feel like whenever I apply it my skin gets SO smooth. The more you use it the better it gets. I only got the mini but I’m almost finished with it. I will definitely be repurchasing.

2. MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick Werk She has been a favorite for forever. I’ve repurchased three times! It is the perfect shade for blush and blends flawlessly, but it’s also the best “your lips but better” shade for your lips. I’ve used it in the summer and in the winter and my love for it never changes!

3. Youth To The People Mini Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask with Vitamin C 0.5 oz/ 1... I just got this so I can’t say much other than that it smells HEAVENLY. I can’t quite place it but I know I’ve smelled it before. It’s almost cinnamony? Either way it smells amazing. I feel super hydrated after but I can’t yet say that it has long-term results/is worth the price.

4. Buxom Lash Volumizing Mascara 0.37 oz/ 10 mL I’m not even sure that this is the correct one, but I think it is. I love this mascara. Forever and always. It is the most magical lengthening, self curling, full glam or everyday, end of your lash or bottom to top, most perfect mascara EVER! I’ve bought it multiple times. I keep on in my school bag and use it for travel, I would keep listing and raving about it but that would take to long! Overall she is my number one fave!

Fab favorites list this month, @EmilyManaba!! Somehow this is the first I'm hearing of the Pumpkin Spice version of the Laneige lip mask (one of my beauty holy-grails - I'm still finishing up a festive gingerbread version that @LexBT gifted to me last year! 🧡 I love how long these things last). 

Good to know the JVN styling milk has been treating your curls well! 

[Sunnysmom]

So many good favs @EmilyManaba ! 

[EmilyManaba]

Most of my September favs are the same as August so I picked out different ones that I’ve been using all month!!

SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Bouncy Cream Eyeshadow Palette Monarch  Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine Vanilla  Saie Mini Mascara 101 Lengthening and Lifting Black gifted to me by the lovely @TeamBIC  thank you ladies love it! Saie Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush Spicy 

 

[GeorginaBT]

Yaaaay @ather 😊 Love seeing familiar faves! I feel like the SC Monarch palette has become a BIC staple. 

[ather]

@GeorginaBT  I can see why! Just the best!! 

[lmaster]

@ather ughhh ohhh am I going to have to try that mascara?? 🤣

[ather]

@lmaster  Maybe. But I haven’t tried Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet  yet either. Right now my top ones are Saie Mini Mascara 101 Lengthening and Lifting Black  and Wander Beauty Upgraded Lashes™ Thickening Mascara  and ILIA Limitless Mascara Duo Set After Midnight these don’t burn my eyes so that’s a huge plus for me!

[faeriegirl]

@ather  I love the Saie mascara too!

[ather]

@faeriegirl  I like that it doesn’t burn my eyes 😂 most mascaras bother me!

[Ispend2much6]

@ather  Very nice list!

[ather]

@Ispend2much6  Thanks! I’ve been keeping it simple! 

[Sunnysmom]

So good @ather ! How is the Saie mascara? I love those blush too. We could share stuff I swear. Lol.
