Better late than never I guess! December faves! 

I bought the mini of KAYALI YUM BOUJEE MARSHMALLOW | 81 Eau de Parfum Intense and then thought unneeded the full size. Skincare heavy with some SEPHORiA swag loves, the Farmacy Brighten Up 3% TXA Dark Spot Toner with Azelaic Acid 4 oz / 120 mL , the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Slushy Serum Moisturizer Crush Infused with Bakuchiol 1.7 oz/ 50 mL and the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C+ Collagen Deep Cream 1.7 oz/ 50 g 

I’ve been using the Musely estrogen cream and I think it has helped with some hyperpigmentation. Living the Dior highlighter and the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin 4-Ever Flushed Lip and Cheek Set - this deep berry shade is intense but so pretty!

Amazing faves! I love the part about mini and full size I’ve been eyeing that perfume for a while, is it a strong scent or lighter I’m new to perfume, these are great faves and the gnome is too cute 🥰 @sister13 

[sister13]

I guess I’d say it’s medium? It’s definitely noticeable but I think the vanilla marshmallow keeps it light-ish. I am relatively picky about fragrance and I really like it. Sweet and sugary but too teen-y. @peculiarzmakeup

Thank you for you for the feedback it sounds like my style I’ll give it a go sometime 🙂 @sister13  

[Shosh85]

@sister13  Ooh, I've been wanting to buy that Kayali scent for a while now! It sounds so good! Your post makes me want it even more now 😉

[sister13]

I was like - why not buy the mini, you’ll never use a full size anyway with all the perfume I have, but then had to have it anyway! @Shosh85 

[CorgiMommy]

@sister13 you were smart to try the mini fragrance first.   Great hauls, enjoy!

[sister13]

I can always talk myself into the minis they are so cute and now I have a travel size! @CorgiMommy 

[CorgiMommy]

I love the mini fragrances too @sister13

@aissetmariam  I've been hearing such great things about this brand! Will definitely need to try them out soon! Glad to hear you're loving it! 😃

[CorgiMommy]

@aissetmariam that product is showing up more and more on BIC

[Sunnysmom]

Some solid new favorites this past month. I’ve used and enjoyed them all so much! 

HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick Glassy Rose... is maybe my favorite new cream almost gel blush from this past year! It’s so perfect. The best consistency for cheeks and lips too and I love to use it as a first layer with a light powder blush over it. Or under/over a creamy highlighter. 

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Hydrating Matte Lipstick Trio Dash- freshest red in her always comfy lip formula. It’s pretty to apply with your finger and smudge it for a less precious look too. 

Kosas Soulgazer Intensifying Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Enigma - this liner seriously is so smooth and oof does it stay on! For that reason I usually use it over my powder shadows. All the shades are so good , also love Eternal green. I love a blackened navy for a daily softer alternative to black and to give a pop. 

Oribe Hair Alchemy Strengthening Treatment Serum 2.5 oz / 75 ml - there is a reason we get those little freebies in our orders! I’m sold ! This has been such a nourishing, healing product for my hair it’s ridiculous. A tiny bit goes such a long way too. Soft, shiny, strong. I use the shine and color shampoos and conditioners and love them but this was the best add , just a wonderful product! 

Iris&Romeo Skin Cocoon Barrier Repair Glow Serum with Peptides & Niacinamide 1 oz / 30 mL - I couldn’t wait for this to come out because I really love a combo serum moisturizer oil. Chanel makes such a great one but it’s obviously pricier and also a bit heavier than this. Iris & Romeo’s isn’t sticky and has the perfect weight to it for an all season/all weather glow. Pretty sure I won’t ever be without this now. 

Happy New Year everyone! 🥂

@Sunnysmom  There you go again with the best photos! The reindeer prop is adorable! ☺️

You've really got me wanting to buy that Iris & Romeo serum! It sounds wonderful 🙌

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @Shosh85 @sister13 , silly fun! 🤗 Shosh I do like the serum a lot. it also pairs beautifully with other stuff if I’m needing more moisture or whatever. A little goes a long way too! 

[sister13]

Your pic is the absolute cutest! Great faves!! @Sunnysmom
