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.

Thank you for the kind words @tsavorite! Still playing around with everything but so far no 🍋s😄

@eshoe, Congrats on this terrific gratis. You have a great break down on your take of the items, which I love.

[eshoe]

Thank you, @Luvstravel. I forgot to mention the Makeup Eraser, but it’s a product I already love and use so I think that’s why. I did not have it in the llama print, though!

@eshoe congratulations!! So happy you received this gratis also!! I personally think I'm going to try the primer without moisturizer and with moisturizer to see the differences

[eshoe]

That’s a good idea @lmaster I haven’t done that yet. The first time I used it I applied it after essence  in place of serum and then looked at it again thinking to myself, well shoot. Now what? Is it a primer or a serum? But it’s turned out well no matter where I’ve placed it in my routine so far.

Good to know! I'm going to use it tomorrow @eshoe

I have to give a HUGE shout out to @BrendaBT and @TeamBIC and the participating brands 🤗♥️ thank you all so much for sending this amazing gratis my way! The adorable Llama makeup eraser is top notch! I love love makeup erasers, and use them daily. YVES SAINT LAURENT - Black Opium Neonsmells unbelievably beautiful, I can pick up the coffee, Orange blossoms and dragon fruit, usually it's hard for me to distinguish scents, but these are excellent and it's something I would purchase for myself.  amika Reset Scalp Clarifying Gel Shampoo 6.7 oz/ 200 mL AMIKA - Reset Cooling Gel Conditionersound great by the ingredients, I'm super excited to try these,  Virtue Strengthening Split End Hair Repair Serum Treatment 1.7 oz/ 50 mL will also be a product I would look for personally, having coarse curly hair, I do get damage, especially if I color my hair. GLOW RECIPE - Banana Soufflé Moisture Creamoh my gosh,, I can't begin to say how much I love banana scented products, I had been stalking this product for days now. Smashbox the mindful 5 nourishing face primer serum sounds like something I'd use as well, with the freezing temps my skin can definitely use a primer oil complex. I'm so very excited to try  Gucci Long Lasting Satin Lipstick 25* Goldie Red great for holiday looks,  DIOR Lip Glow Oil Pink

another exciting product I can't wait to try and lastly IT cosmetics pillow lips matte is a product I didn't even know existed! Thank you again and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!!
