The Gratis Thread 🛍🎉

[cianni]

A place to say thank you, provide reviews and first impressions, or follow up on gratis received after more use!

Many of us have been very lucky to receive gratis (thanks Sephora!), and I’ve been finding that while it’s easy to initially post about receiving it and initial reviews, it’s not as easy to follow up! 

I thought maybe we could have a dedicated thread to follow-ups and reviews with products we’ve received after we’ve been using them for a while, especially because it’s sometimes hard to find the original thank you and first impressions threads.

@gonerogue   Congratulations!  Great reviews- I need that dry shampoo.  I wish I'd seen this thread before I spent my gift card.  But, who am I kidding; I'll be back.  🙂

@Ispend2much6  I think the dry shampoo is a staple product we all need! I used my normal dry shampoo today and snapped a picture for comparison to the Drybar and wow, I can't believe how much I hate that white cast normal dry shampoo gives. I am convinced it will be the only dry shampoo I buy after I finish my stashes of other dry shampoos at home.

Awesome review on the Drybar Dry Shampoo @gonerogue !  I always love trying new ones out!  Congratulations on an awesome gratis box!

[gonerogue]

@missjeanie  thank you! The Drybar is a total winner; HIGHLY suggest you check it out in stores so you can see for yourself that it really goes on invisible on the hair!

Congratulations,  @gonerogue! This is a great gift!

[gonerogue]

@curlychiquita  thank you!

The Drybar detox dry shampoo sounds great @gonerogue 😊

[gonerogue]

@faeriegirl  Such a great idea for eliminating that white cast that standard dry shampoo leaves 🙂

@gonerogue What is that from Shisedo I see??

[gonerogue]

@GG84 

Great eyes! It's the SHISEIDO - WASO: Hydrating Gel Beauty Sleeping Mask

I haven't tried it yet but it's on my to-do list for tonight 😉

That shade of the Lilah B. lip oil is perfect on you, @gonerogue. I love a good lip oil, so I might have to try this one out!

[gonerogue]

@quspork  thank you! It's a nice, comfortable, glossy formula that leaves a nice stain after a few hours of wear. If that seems like your thing, then I suggest you check it out 🙂

[cianni]

@gonerogue ahh a transparent dry shampoo?? I need to make a note to try this when I’m done working through my (embarrassing large) collection of dry shampoo minis 🤦🏽‍♀️ I always do like three checks in different lighting before i get into work to make sure that I didn’t miss a spot and have one powdery white patch that didn’t absorb 😂 That lip oil is gorgeous btw! Ive never used anything from this brand before, but that seems surprisingly pigmented for something marketed as a lip oil.

@cianni You are going to LOVE the Drybar Detox Clear Invisible Dry Shampoo 3.5 oz/ 100 g if you hate the white cast other dry shampoos leave! I took a comparison photo today using my normal dry shampoo and well... the picture speaks for itself. I suggest you pick it up after you finish all the ones you already own 🙂

[l8totheparty]

Woah, great comparison shot. @gonerogue 

Now you will have me snapping the top of my head using my dry shampoos lol.

[cianni]

@gonerogue ok wow!! As someone with dark hair this is now a necessity for me ✔️✔️ Thank you for the comparisons! Super helpful ❤️

[Ispend2much6]

@gonerogue   I see what you mean.
