The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

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 Iโ€™ve been finding that while itโ€™s easy to initially post about receiving it and initial reviews, itโ€™s not as easy to follow up! 

 

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

@itsfi  Beautiful picture!!

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you @ather! ๐Ÿค— Taking pics for posts here has turned into a bit of a creative outlet for me. ๐Ÿ’–

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

What a great pic @itsfi! Glad you found a red that works for you! ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you @veronika23! ๐Ÿค— It was a very kind and generous gratis. โ™ฅ๏ธ I wouldnโ€™t have tried this red but for that. After trying this one, Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™ll be looking into the other colors and formulations when they hit the stores. 

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi I completely agree with you!! This is the most beautiful color, and it applies with perfection,, love the formula

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@lmaster Iโ€™ve seen your pics with this red and it looks amazing on you! โค๏ธ

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Awwwww thanks! @itsfi ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Wow @itsfi, fabulous photo and even better that it's a perfect match for you. Guess this answers my question about which item you've been loving! 

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you @eshoe. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ The mask was for a masquerade themed gala I attended years ago and I will use the combo of the mask and Gucci lippie for a masquerade casino night a friend is hosting for a fundraiser. 

Iโ€™ve been loving all the lip products ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’. The Amika clarifying shampoo arrived at the perfect time - I needed to pick one up soon but hadnโ€™t decide what to pick up.

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi ,

Congratulations on finding Your Shade!  ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you @tsavorite! ๐Ÿค— The reds-that-turned-fuschia all went into a box with other lippie shades that didnโ€™t work for me and every once in a while Iโ€™d mix colors to see if I could get a combination to work for me. 

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi  You have most definitely piqued my interest, as I have a huge problem with reds turning fuschia. Let me know please if you decide to try one of the other formulations because Iโ€™m not sure which one I should order. And I wonder whether the color would vary greatly across formulations. Such a beautiful shade ๐Ÿ’–

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@PrettyPaint, you too?! Iโ€™m sorry you also experience reds turning fuschia. ๐Ÿ˜” Good call on the change in formulation possibly varying the color. Hmmmm... Iโ€™m going to think about this more. Of the two other formulations, sheer and matte, which one would you be more interested in? I donโ€™t think Sephora has them in store at them moment but if Iโ€™m feeling bold, I may brave the crowds next week to see if one of the department stores downtown does.

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi  Wow, you are super brave. I'm not a big crowds person. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

That's a good question. I'm not sure which formula I'm most interested in to be honest. I was thinking matte, as long as it's not too dry of a matte. Does the satin version require a lip liner and have you noticed any migration with it? That's the main reason I was thinking that the matte may be nice (I sometimes struggle with red shades not staying within the lip line as much as I would like). The satin formula sounds really comfortable, though.

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi I love this pic! it's so glam!

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Aww, thank you @averylayne. Youโ€™re so sweet! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi, I'm glad I you love it on you!

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

I would never have tried this gorgeous lippie โ™ฅ๏ธ if it were not for the gratis box @curlychiquita!

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Iโ€™m so glad you found the perfect red @itsfi! I love it too. It is perfect for the holidays!

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

Itโ€™s so pretty @faeriegirl! โ™ฅ๏ธ And yesss!!! Perfect for the holidays. ๐Ÿ˜

Re: The Gratis Thread ๐Ÿ›๐ŸŽ‰

@itsfi Glad you found a red that suits you
