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.

Wow, I ddn't expect so many products! I will do a look soon and I'm so grateful to you, @TeamBIC.to include the sponge and brushes! I won't have to wash my makeup bruhses yet, lol! I immediately swatched  the face palette.  I swirled 5x with my fingers and it swatched very pigmented  on my arm. 1 and 3 felt buttery and glided on the arm. 2 and 4 didn't swatch as smoothly and dragged a little. We'll see how they perform. They may not be the greatest quality but I wanted to include pics of the ingredient list. I wish they used a longer and thicker label so it can print ALL the ingredients on one piece.  You know, if the label was as long as the entire length of the lipstick tube, it could fit the expiration date, made in etc, shade in etc. Then there would be no need for the peeled part. It's such a pain to open. It took forever to read the ingredients due to the label being so thin that 90% of the time it peeled off entirely instead of revealing the ingredients. I do love how these were made in Canada and Italy :

@Buootiful  Ouhhh everything looks so pretty!  Congrats on the gratis!  I hope everything has been performing well for you!  

I went out and bought the concealer ( I was supposed to receive this but it got lost to the ether😆) and have been enjoying it with matte foundations.  It has a powderiness to it that doesn’t play well with my more dewy formulas but it’s got nice medium coverage and performs well.  

[Buootiful]

Ahhh thanks! Oh no, did you get most of it or everything got lost? I hope Team BIC were able to help you out. 😞 Yeah, most of the products I've enjoyed and the concealer is so creamy! I need to go to the WAYWT and look at looks. It's been so busy at work.  @heartsmyface

Congratulations on your Gratis ‌😄‌ ‌🎊‌ @Buootiful How are you liking the new products? Everything looks oooh so lovely!

[Buootiful]

Thank you @CynthieLu  😘 The surprise hit was the mascara as other SC mascaras weren't hits when my co workers tried them.

[CynthieLu]

A good mascara is sooo important @Buootiful no one wants smudgy or clumpy eyes, that's great to hear!

Congratulations, @Buootiful! That palette is so pretty, it has been on my radar for awhile now. Enjoy! 

[Buootiful]

Thank you! @eshoe  2&4 were the best performers😍

Congratulations @Buootiful @on the gratis. Sephora Collection is truly underrated. Years ago when I received some SC makeup gratis, they’re all Made in France or Italy eventhough the packaging was real basic. I like most of SC products I received. 😘

[Buootiful]

Awww thanks so much @blackkitty2014 😘 Some of them yeah. I can't believe the #sephora collection cream blush palette was discontinued 😭

[Anastasiya13]

@Buootiful congrats on the goodie. How is the eyeliner? Love there brushes, surprisingly the ones I tried have been very good quality.

[Buootiful]

Hi and Thank you  @Anastasiya13 !😘 I will never do a cat eye with it but it worked really well lining my upper lashes and didn't budge 😍

[Anastasiya13]

@Buootiful  Oooo that's awesome, I might need to try it out. So hard to find a good liner at times

Everything looks fabulous! Congratulations, @Buootiful!
