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.

@marydiva  Congrats on this awesome gift!  It’s fun to be celebrating BT/ BIC history together!  So cool that you literally grew up on this forum!   

[marydiva]

@heartsmyface I definitely did! Sephora was a huge part of my identity as a teen and my love of Sephora is obvious to everyone who meets me, even today!

I got this lovely gift in the mail today! Thanks so much to sephora! I love the socks!!! Don’t own any Huda and so excited to try this!  My 5 year old loves the envelope the Huda came in and couldn’t wait to claim it. She also loves the eyeshadow and I swatched a few on her hand and then she promptly swiped it on her eyelids!!😊 Future BIC member!

I want to share my first impressions of the fantastic Together Beauty hair gratis I received. It came with 4 products. TOGETHER BEAUTY - Love Lather Moisture Shampoo

TOGETHER BEAUTY - Crown + Glory Smoothing Mask

TOGETHER BEAUTY - Whatever Wherever Leave-In Conditioner

and TOGETHER BEAUTY - Flower Supply Hair Oil.

I love that this brand is a clean and natural brand. All of the products are heavily scented so those with fragrance sensitivities use with caution. Just like the name implies the love lather shampoo definitely has a lot of lather. It has a nice coconut scent. This seems like it would be fantastic for those that need extra moisture. My hair is thin and fine so it’s not one I would be able to use if I needed any volume. The whatever wherever leave-in conditioner smells amazing. It was definitely easier to brush through my hair. A little goes a long way especially for me. The crown and glory mask also smells great and left my hair nice and silky. It’s one I will definitely use weekly for a deep conditioner. The only product I won’t be able to use is the flower supply oil. It is definitely a me thing and nothing against the product. I am just very sensitive to the smell of lavender and this smells like straight up lavender oil to me. I will definitely post an update after using the shampoo, leave-in, and hair mask some more. Thank you again Together Beauty and @TeamBIC  for this opportunity to try this new brand😊

@faeriegirl  They sound like some really nice products, and I love that they have the clean seal.
