Oooouh, the Carolina Herrera Good Girl fragrances smell so good all year round @KhyleyBT, and I just looooove the design of their bottles - those heels! 🤣 Apologies for the very late posting - eek! My September favorites consist of tried-and-true products that have served me well at home in the Bay and on various trips, including my most recent one last month.SpoilerSEPHORA COLLECTION Reveal The Real 12HR Soft Radiant Skin Tint is my skin but better in a bottle. "Soft radiant skin tint" is a good description for this beauty - this somehow blurs (dark spots and redness) while simultaneously allowing my skin to come through - the glow is much less a dewy luminosity but more of a lit-from-within-brightness to my complexion. Well done, Sephora team; well done! I'll also note that I very much appreciate the packaging; namely, I can see how much product I've used up / have left. That's something I grumble about in maaaaanny of my product reviews - thank you, Sephora Collection! A little goes a long way with this beauty, and now, I'll know I'll have a better idea of when I need to repurchase! Tweezers can be unsung heroes. I had an appointment to clean up my brows before SEPHORiA but it had to be canceled, so that meant I would need to try to be more vigilant with my own brow care. Thank goodness for TWEEZERMAN Micro Mini Pink Perfection Tweezer Set! These mini are great for getting into smaller space and are fabulous for travel, or just keeping a set in my purse.I was very happy to see Hanni at SEPHORiA - makes sense as the brand is based in Atlanta. I lhave tried most products in their collection, with the first being the Water Hydrating Body Mist, and have been pleased with everything I've tried - the entire line is really marvelous @sister13, @heartsmyface. I took only 2 body care products with me this trip, and it was all I needed. One was the most recent release, the fatty, a solid body moisturizer - you apply it like deoderant but all over your body - easy, peasy moisturized skin without heaviness, greasiness or film left behind. I usually use shower gels, but a solid bar like this Hanni Cocoon Cleanse Solid Body Serum Cleanser with Shea Butter 3.7 oz / 105 g comes in handy when traveling. The brand offers a shower scarf in some bundle which is fantastic for getting to hard to reach places in the back (getting older has for me meant less flexibility and there are just some spots that are more challenging to get to and it hurts too much to try to contort myself like a gymnast to do so). I ended up just placing the soap in a mesh sack for cleansing and gentle exfoliation.Vitamins, digestive enzymes, allergy medicine, Aleve/Advil. etc. They all fit in this handy dandy SEPHORA COLLECTION Supplement Case - it's not an item I think to pick up but since doing so earlier this year, I can't imagine being without it.Best memories from September: I started counting down the days to SEPHORiA 2024 after the Labor Day holiday (well, I started an informal countdown after NYC, lol). As fun as I knew the event would be, I was most excited to see and hang out with fellow BIC beauties. They did not disappoint and made a fabulous event even more so. There were many memorable moments from SEPHORiA Atlanta, some of which have been memorialized on the Sephoria 2024 Atlanta, Georgia thread as well as various threads throughout the Forums. My most cherished though are the ones spent chatting, catching up and laughing with the BIC beauties - thinking about it now makes me look forward to seeing them again, as well as seeing those who were not able to make it this year. Until SEPHORiA 2025! 😉 is my skin but better in a bottle.
