Monthly Favorites: February 2024 Edition!

Monthly Faves February 2024

I hope this month has been treating you well, BIC, because this year we get an extra day to celebrate our February favorites! 💞 I’ve been feeling a little adventurous lately and testing out some new (or new-to-me) products, as well as some new shades of products and brands I already know and love. I’ve been manifesting sleek hair, smooth skin, and natural-looking makeup this month, and I think I found the right combo of products to get me there – or at least try! 😉

Here are the beauty goodies I’ve been reaching for the most this month:

• HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze Plumping Gloss Guava 
• ILIA Liquid Powder Eye Shadow Tint Adobe 
• K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Mini Molecular Repair Hair Oil 0.34 oz / 10 mL 
• PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo Not Too Much 
• Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment 1 oz/ 30 mL 

Take it away, Community! Tell us what your favorites have been this February. Be sure to tag any products you mention with the “#” symbol (hair, makeup, fragrance, wellness, skincare, etc.)!

@AlexBT  Yay!  I can access the community on my computer, but now not on my iphone. 😢  Tags aren't working for products.

Those Haus Lab glosses look gorgeous.

I have one hair, one skincare, and one makeup favorite this month.

Kiehl's Magic Elixir Scalp and Hair Oil Treatment- I had this sitting in my bedroom for months, and decided to use it as I was reorganizing.  I don't know why, but I used it and threw it away, probably thinking it was "just another hair oil," as I have a few for my extremely dry hair.

That was a mistake, because after I used this and washed my hair, it was soo soft!  And on day 3 it's still soft.  Guess I will need to repurchase.  I haven't experienced this with any other hair oil.  I used the #Kerastase Resistance line (shampoo, conditioner, heat protecting cream) along with it.

Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil liners- indestructible. Black, brown, blue, purple, green.

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Rich Repair Cream with 6-Butterlipid Complex 1.69 oz / 50 mL- One of the best face creams I have ever used. No scent, no irritation, no acids for exfoliating, yet my skin looks so clear after using this as a night cream.

The struggle to get on here is real, @Ispend2much6. Happy to see you were finally able to post again!

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  You too! Availability changes multiple times daily.

[eshoe]

Indeed it does, @Ispend2much6 😂

The new DE cream sounds great @Ispend2much6!

[Ispend2much6]

@faeriegirl  It really is. I think DE is overpriced, but this is worth every dollar (not going to fast penny because of the price!) 😂

[AlexBT]

@Ispend2much6 Thanks for sharing your faves! Glad you were able to get in to Community somehow 😅.

Your hair oil story is exactly why I can never bring myself to throw anything away even if I don't like the product, lol. I change my mind about products too much!

@Ispend2much6 funny, I've heard more people talking about the Kerastase Resistance line in the last couple of weeks and I'm starting to have FOMO 🤔

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  Anyone with color treated hair would probably like that line. The oil did add a lot though.

I know what you mean @Ispend2much6 ... I picked up  the OUAI Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair 8 oz/ 236 mL on a whim and just fell so hard in love. I still have it and everytime I use it, I'm amazed 😂

[Ispend2much6]

@jaaayp  I like that line too!

[Ispend2much6]

@greeneyedgirl107. @lmaster @CynthieLu 

The scent is a bit of rosemary and tea tree. Not too strong but it lasts as long as the product is in your hair.

I squirted it on my scalp and rubbed it in. Then I put some on my hands and smooth ed it onto my hair particularly on my highlights and ends.

I left it on for 2-3 hours then washed my hair.

You have wonderfully rounded out favorite's this month @Ispend2much6 💝 a little bit of everything.  Oooh I'm very interested in your hair and scalp treatment.. 3 days of softness?? That's sounds marvelous!  How did you use it?

[lmaster]

@Ispend2much6 how did you use the oil? Like a mask before you used shampoo?

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Ispend2much6 yes, I want to know how you used it, too.  What's the scent like?
