I'm continually impressed with these two eye creams; Clinique for nighttime, Sunday Riley for the daytime.

I have a family member whose birthday falls around the holiday period, and she loves ! These are definitely luxe (and I haven't actually tried them myself!) but I'm happy to treat her to them every year. 😊

Week 1 (10/25 - 10/31): Tag a product you’d give to a skincare enthusiast 🧼

Love me some skincare @TeamBIC! 💖 Here are some beauties I love or have loved gifting to others.

$25 and under:

would be great for skincare beginners and veterans alike.
- good for acne/blemishes, pores
- (oily skin)
- good intro to hydrating skincare routine
- great for strengthening skin barrier & brightening under eyes
- I just picked this up for myself, because caring for your skin includes caring for the skin on your body

Between $25 - $50:

- love, love, love the Dark Spot serum and it's great that there's a mini set for the entire line
- great intro to the brand, with a lot of its bestsellers
- their eye cream is favorite (not in kit) and I like their bakuchiol slushy serum. Combining the slushy serum and the moisturizer from this set makes for a fabulous anti-aging skincare pairing
- hydration and moisture for face & lips
- great intro to the brand

Over $50:

- brightening and hydrating (@jaaayp, have you seen this set?)
- beautiful combo for moisturized and bouncy skin
- a dream duo for winter skin; great pre and post-flight ✈️

A LOT more than $50:

- I have the original FaceWare Pro and it helps with breakouts when I use it consistently. The one in this kit is pink!! 😍

DDG FaceWare PRO (interior)

DDG FaceWare PRO (original) - skincare tool or last minute Halloween costume? Or both!

Always appreciate your breakdowns @itsfi

The value sets are 🤌🏽🤌🏽. You get to try the best of best or greatest hits. You can also split them into stocking stuffers. The PTR eye patches are my fave and if you snag the roller, it's an ultimate treat yourself gift @TeamBIC

These are such a luxe treat @GeorginaBT! Very generous of you to gift them to your family member. I feel like you're due for a treat for yourself of this mask. I think there's also set out with a single sheet mask and some other SK-II beauties.

"milk and honey whipped body butter" - that just sounds decadently nourishing @CarolBT!

itsfi — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 13:34:20 GMT

This really is such a great set @Loretta55! Love how they updated the mask with different color options. This pink one looks so fun!

Love this breakdown into price categories @itsfi - I might end up shopping your recs 🥰 would make a great gift for a teen!

This one is a bit tricky, hopefully I would know their skin types and concerns. But I think it'd be a good bet to gift unless of course they don't like sheet masks.

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! 🎁

CorgiMommy — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 01:54:35 GMT

@Samtian I totally agree with the sheet mask set. Great value

@TeamBIC This is more body skincare than facial skincare, but one of my favourite products is - the vanilla apricot one is my personal favourite, but my mother prefers unscented products. So I'm going to get her the unscented body butter for Christmas, and because she loves chocolate, I'm going to throw in the for fun.

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag the perfect gift for your BIC bestie! 🤗

This week, tagging one of my fellow Team BIC members @AlexBT who deserves as a gift this year! 😄 She is the queen of all sparkles and shimmer.
