Thank you @TeamBIC , MODs, and all the folks behind the scenes, past and present, who made this Forum possible - yes, you too, IT Vendor partners who got lots of help desk tickets as a result of our notes to Team BIC over the years 😂

Please use this space to share your thanks and gratitude for all the beauties who let us run free (so long as it was within the T&Cs ) on these boards with our words, gifs, and pics.

@TeamBIC ohhhhhh the memories!!! Each and everyone of you have been a blessing in this community and will truly be missed 😢 💔. I appreciate every single day you put effort into the Bic.

Well wishes for everyone!!

[CarolBT]

@lmaster all the feels ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for starting this thread, @itsfi!

Someone on BIC once accused me of being a bot, and I said “but… but two BIC admins have met me in person! 🥺” 😂 Those two admins were @CarolBT and I think @AlexBT. It was a rainy Chicago Marathon day and I was late arriving to the Michigan Ave Sephora for a live podcast, because I’d been at a post-race party celebrating with my friend who ran that day (haha, no I did not attempt the marathon). Normally such a late arrival would’ve kicked my anxiety into full-blown attack mode, but it didn’t because you two were kind and accommodating, not at all judgmental or seemingly annoyed. So lemme say it again: thank you for letting me out of the rain into the locked store!

And thank you for everything you and the rest of @TeamBIC have done for us all on BIC. It can’t have been an easy job, but your work definitely didn’t go unnoticed. ❤️ I’m wishing the best for all of you!

[CarolBT]

YES @WinglessOne  that was me!!! We didn't have the joy of AlexBT on the team quite yet, but I was SO excited to meet you!! I remember feeling that meeting local community members in the different cities during the epic podcast tour was a little celeb sighting moment for us. What good times we had. Thank you for being such a major part of that 😘

[Sunnysmom]

@TeamBIC  thank you so very much for the wonderful opportunity to be a part of this community and for all you have done for every one of us. It’s truly an experience I will never forget and will cherish the good times forever with everyone! ( Also, where else could we go to feel safe with zero judgment for our love of all things beauty! BIC was perfect!)  🤣🥰 ❤️🫶

[CarolBT]

@Sunnysmom Thank you for being such a wonderful community member and being welcoming to everyone! 😍

[CarolBT]

THANK YOU for this kind post and lovely words! I have a swirl of memories from 2018 to now and while my days **in** the threads shifted and morphed over time to behind-the-scenes, the BIC is where my own Sephora journey started. The deep admiration and great affection I have for our incredible community members is hard to put into words. What an incredible experience and true honor it has been to hold this space for you all. You all made ME feel welcome and like I also belonged, even though I don't typically wear makeup. 😊 We could talk skincare, haircare, and fragrance All Day Long!! Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Firming Hydra-Gel Eye Mask Patches for Fine Lines and Dark Circles 30 pai... forever! xoxo 💋💄 (<<-- that's a lip gloss - my collection is still totally and completely out of hand)

@CarolBT I remember when you started in 2018 🥲 Seems like time flew by so fast.  Thank you for helping make BIC a one of a lifetime experience for all of us. 

[CarolBT]

Speaking of how fast time goes @SportyGirly125 , when I started in 2018, my child was in 5th grade. Well, guess who is graduating high school next month!!! **That's** how fast time flies past us. 

Thank you for such kind words -this truly has been an honor ❤️

[sissyboi72]

@CarolBT a little pink gloss never hurt anyone. 

[CarolBT]

@sissyboi72 agree! as do all my purses, backpacks, desk drawers, car nooks, various jacket pockets, and even this vintage tray on my dresser... every single surface and compartment that holds them 🤣

For some reason I can't tag you, TeamBic, but thank you for all of your time and effort that you've poured into making this a beautiful space for all of us.  Being an Ambassador was one of the highlights of my life and I will miss "hanging out" with all of you here because you've all become family!  I wish the best for you and hope that you know just how much you have blessed all of us here.

[Mellmars1185]

@TeamBIC Thank you for everything. It has been a wonderful experience that I will keep forever in my heart ❤️🖤🤍

[danielledanielle]

You guys never made me feel like an outsider here, and there are beauty communities that do that.  @TeamBIC always made everyone feel beautiful.  If we made this place welcoming, it's because you all set the standard. 

💯Of what @sister13 said.  Like, I have poured so much tomfoolery into this place and have enjoyed it as well and you all just let it happen and let us be ourselves 🥰

[CarolBT]

@danielledanielle we delighted in the tomfoolery - remember when I went on vacation and came back and posted a photo of an actual llama? I mean. 🐐  (where is the llama emoji??). Thank you for everything!! 

[sister13]

Thank you so much @TeamBIC for all your hard work, calm and excited support, beautiful boxes of love (gratis), and amazing events and opportunities over the years! It has been an amazing journey and I know it's work to you - hopefully fun work, but there must have been some stressful and challenging times over the years.

It's been more than a hobby/personal/fun for us, it has been a place to share ups and downs and to truly build a family of like-minded beauty-obsessed weirdos and people who (I hope) will continue to be lifelong friends. Thank you for all you do and I'm glad that you all have new/other opportunities within Sephora. Wishing you all the best in the wind down. While I may have some harsh and very disappointed feelings about the decision, none of it is directed to you all, who I believe truly care and have helped this place run and provide a beautiful beauty community! ((Hugs)) and huge thanks!  

[CarolBT]

@sister13 congrats on your Icon status now!! Just noticed that happened 😉  You made this such a warm and welcoming space, and it's so appreciated - can't wait to see what amazing fragrance inspired cocktails you come up with next 🍸🍹

[AlexBT]

This is so, so nice. Thank you for the love, and we so appreciate you all for helping make the Forum a safe space for everyone for all these years. BIC members are the ultimate embodiment of what Community is all about. We're so lucky! ‌💞

[SportyGirly125]

@TeamBIC Thank you for all the wonderful years on here.  I am truly going to miss you all so much!  You helped make this forum so special and unique.  One can only hope that maybe one day it will be brought back better than ever!

It has been quite the journey from being picked as a Sephora Community Ambassador to now working in store as a Beauty Advisor.  I couldn't have done it without you!  Black and white forever!!! 

Thank you to the MODS for helping with customer service related topics or taking down inappropriate comments in a timely matter!

[AlexBT]

@SportyGirly125 What an incredible journey! Love seeing you thrive (from afar) as a BA 🙂 Thank you for also always being committed to keeping the Forum safe!
