Monthly Favorites: September 2023 Edition!

[GeorginaBT]

Bye-bye, summer! 👋🍂 I’m welcoming fall, BIC – who’s with me? Ready for warm baths and vampy lips to make their annual return to my routine. The weather is getting colder already and I’m all about hydration; my hair is feeling particularly dry at the moment, so I’ve been trying to show it some extra TLC! I also got my hands on a couple new makeup products that I tried for the first time this month and instantly fell for – after a summer of dewy, barely-there makeup, I’m challenging myself to revisit more dramatic looks this season. ✨

Here are some of the products I reached for most this month:

• amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask 
• Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest Fanning & Volumizing Mascara Hyper Black 
• MAKEUP BY MARIO Master Mattes® Eyeshadow Palette: The Original 12 x 0.03 oz/ 1 g 
• Shiseido Clarifying Cleansing Foam 4.6 oz / 125 ml 
• Youth To The People Polypeptide-121 Future Firming + Hydrating Moisturizer 2 oz / 59 mL 

Let’s hear from you, Beauty Insider Community! 😊 Use the “#” symbol to tag your favorite makeup, skincare, hair, fragrance, and wellness faves from the past month. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s recos!

It really is. @ather It has results you can't see right on your face. 😊

@CynthieLu  I am curious about LAWLESS Forget the Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Moisturizer + Makeup Primer 1.7 oz / 50 g  and how it would compare! 

[CynthieLu]

That's intriguing @ather If you ever compare let me know 😜🙏 the price is there only down side to DG's 😅

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I agree. I’ll be stocking up during sales for sure.

Thanks for sharing, @CynthieLu; I haven't heard many people talking about the DDG serum so I'll have to check that one out!

[CynthieLu]

I use it on skin that's still damp from patting it dry after a wash. ( it really helps pull in that moisture 😉) It's a very effective little serum @CookieGirl1 

[Sunnysmom]

Great favs @CynthieLu ! I need to try the DG serum it sounds like! 

[CynthieLu]

My dry skin really loves it @Sunnysmom 😉 

[GeorginaBT]

I love a shower scrub @CynthieLu - might have to look into this one! It sounds like it would smell yummy. 😋

The Olaplex hair oil is one of my faves!

@GeorginaBT @Some of my pictures have the same issues like @CynthieLu where today they loaded super zoomed in and cropped. 

[GeorginaBT]

@SportyGirly125 @CynthieLu Looking into this as we speak! Thanks for flagging you two. 

[SportyGirly125]

@GeorginaBT @Thank you 😊

[CynthieLu]

On the makeup side of things, Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush Magic Hour. I love the shade, the amount of pigmentation, and how easy it is to apply and blend!

On the skincare side, LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Niacinamide & Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL. My face feels instantly hydrated after applying it and still feels great in the morning after waking up.

@JoSometimes I can see why the T18 blush umis on your favourites list this month. It looks amazing on you!

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! I’m so glad I decided to buy it!

[JoSometimes]

[ather]

@JoSometimes @Great favs! 

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @ather! They have been amazing so far! 😊

[GeorginaBT]

Love these faves @JoSometimes! I hit pan on my Tower 28 Magic Hour blush earlier this year - I miss it and should pick another one up. 😋 Glad the Laneige mask is working out for you!
