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!

@ather   I'm so sorry you had a day of nonstop crying; I hope you're okay!  I'm glad you shared the benefits of the Merit mascara though.

[ather]

@Ispend2much6  Thanks! It happens! It’s definitely a great mascara!

More products being added to the list with practically every post I read @ather! 😅 Oh, the Refy is your all time favorite brow product? Oh, there goes another one on the list, along with the Live Tinted serum stick - I just read about this product in an online article. Will have to check it out. I think I have that deoderant too. Will have to rummage through my boxes; I do love that scent.

@itsfi  The live tinted is great! And the Refy is literally the best. All other brow products leave a white residue on my brows so it looks like my skin is peeling. This one doesn’t. I love the extra brush included in the cap! I can’t wait to see what you pick up for the sale!

I love the Merit mascara @ather! It is so good!

[ather]

@faeriegirl  I agree! I’m torn between the tower 28 and the merit. But it’s so good! 

[Sunnysmom]

I need to try the Merit mascara sometime I suppose @ather ! The Refy brow is clear right? Or does it come in a tint? Why didn’t I look before I asked this question. 😳😆 I will!

[ather]

@Sunnysmom  You totally do!!! It’s a great mascara!! The Refy is clear but they have another version that’s a tint. I have only tried the clear tho! 

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @ather ! I’m always on the lookout for a wonderful brow fill in!

Omg @Ispend2much6 😂😂😂 this is story of my life. WAITING TILL THE SALE END OF THIS MONTH and hopefully it'll go from 😭 to 🥹

[Ispend2much6]

@jaaayp  41 days until Black Friday. 🙂

[jaaayp]

LOL THE ACCURACY @Ispend2much6 🤣🤣🤣 my black friday starts 10/27 with the sephora sale so like 15 days 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ather]

@jaaayp  Wallet crying is better than you crying 🤣 literally amazing. And doesn’t upset my sensitive eyes! 

[jaaayp]

@ather does it volumize...? My tiny lashes need lengthening and volumizing LOL

[ather]

@jaaayp  It definitely does! I have almost no lashes since they are pretty light. And this does everything! 

[jaaayp]

I will put my short, sad lashes faith in your hands @ather 🙇‍♀️

[ather]

@jaaayp  You will not be disappointed!!

September I got a new job in retail so I started doing my makeup a lot more and exploring products. A fan favorite for good reason is of course the pillow talk lip liner! I have also been loving the clinique black honey as a soft beautiful color on my very pale skin. Along with very pale skin I am also extremely dry so I gave the anastasia foundation a try and really loved it! One product I haven't heard much about but I enjoyed was the KVD liquid contour. It's not overly pigmented but it gave my cheek bones a nice shadow for some definition

@KayPowe Congratulations on the new job. You have chosen some beautiful products to wear to work. I like using the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner - Pillow Talk Collection to overline my lips 😊
