@greeneyedgirl107 Not sure any National Lipstick Day sale will ever top that one crazy sale Pat McGrath Labs had a few years back on their bullet lipsticks. 😂 But it’d be awesome if Ulta’s NLD sale (assuming they’ll have one this year) included Dior and Chanel along with all other brands. Better yet, if Nordstrom had a great discount on every lipstick they carry. Since you used a Lancîme image in your OP: they’ve announced their upcoming sale early! It doesn’t start until July 26th. Here’s a screenshot of a post in the “Beauty Magazine” section of Lancîme’s site: * Offer valid from 3:00 AM ET July 26, 2025, through 11:59 PM ST July 29, 2025. Offer only available on lancome-usa.com. Must use code PUCKERUP at checkout. Offer may not be combined with any additional discounts. Offer not valid with e-gift cards purchases. Free Shipping offer is for Standard Shipping [3-5 business days] on any order $100+. Offer cannot be applied to orders placed before 3:00 AM ET July 26, 2025, and after 11:59 PM ST July 29, 2025. Ongoing offers are subject to change without notice. Other restrictions may apply.

Hi @ApoorvaSawhney ! Sometimes our wonderful @TeamBIC will select community members to receive gratis. I don’t know how they decide on folks, but I doubt community rank (the first badge beside your username; mine is currently Icon 1, yours is Newcomer 3) or customer tier (Rouge, VIB, Insider) come into play. It’s probably based on how active you are in this community. Just keep interacting with us: comment on threads, start threads, post images to your Gallery, etc., and play nice with others, and you might be chosen to receive a gift from Sephora. I have no idea if Sephora ever runs their in-house brand products (Sephora Collection) through Influenster, but that’s another option if you wanna try getting products from various other brands to review. You’ll need to visit Influenster’s site to learn more about that. 🙂

@danielledanielle Morbid curiosity made me go find that foundation stick question(s), and I see several of the “why no lighter shades” comments are still there. That figures. 🙄 Wish Sephora (or whoever their question&answer/review vendor is) would turn off auto-delete for downvotes, assuming that’s a thing. But yeah, those commenters are completely missing the point because they see things only from their “I’ve always had everything so I should also have this” perspective. And for anyone reading this who wants to fight me on that: SpoilerMany K-beauty brands’ complexion products have a shade range that dips no deeper than, say, chai latte (if even that deep). That’s because they cater to their majority audience. Do I go fussing around about their lack of inclusivity, when I know dang well I’m not their target audience? No. Thanks to brands like Ami ColĂ© (though sadly not for long), I have options that’ll work for my skin tone. And the “why no lighter shades in Ami ColĂ©â€ crowd has options that’ll work for their skin tones. MANY MANY OPTIONS. Heck, y’all can even use the K-beauty options. You have more options than I (and others around my shade range and deeper) do. Repeat: you have more options than we do. Ami ColĂ© was created to give us more options. If someone starts a small beauty brand this week that focuses on just fair/very light skin—and I mean from albino to no deeper than, oh, unbleached flour tortilla—and they market that brand as filling a gap after doing research and finding some of the big brands skimp on that end of the complexion spectrum
 would I be okay with that brand’s existence? Yes. Yes I would. Because I’m not the target audience, the brand founder is earnestly trying to help what they deem an underserved audience, and I have other options. For those of you who are lighter skinned than me but deeper skinned than this imaginary brand’s shade range: would you be okay with that brand existing? Or would you go after them too for not being inclusive, even though YOU have the most other options of any of us?

Hi @iask246 !While I know the sale is over- I’ve become obsessed with the Dieux Air Angel moisturizer. I have extremely sensitive, combination(on the oilier side) skin. This has worked wonders for me, and it’s well worth the price. It’s super lightweight and actually melts into the skin unlike other products(this is something I’ve struggled with) Dieux Air Angel Collagen & Peptide Hydrating Gel Cream 2.53 oz / 75 ml

@CynthieLu Thanks! 😊 it rained all weekend. I thought the smoke was bad Friday but it went away fast. It was really bad earlier in the week. I guess I was coughing all night and being disruptive oops. 😬 couldn’t help it. It really affects me bad. I normally get laryngitis with it. But hopefully all the rain took out the fires. So you don’t get the smoke again!!
