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.

@TeamBIC   Even the box is cute!  What a generous, nice surprise!  Thank you!   My husband wants to see me in the llama lashes.  🙂

 Mini Big Ego mascara on the left; full size on the right.  I thought it might be helpful to see the brush.  It looks to me like the full size brush may be a little more slender.

 This is the Chrome Paint Highlighter- it's gorgeous, but be careful when you open it or you could easily highlight your entire kitchen/bedroom, etc.  But, 'tis the season for shine, so maybe that will work out well 🙂

 Highlighter swatch

 Swatch of the Chrome Paint Pot in Unleashed in natural light.

 Another unleashed swatch from another angle with indoor light.  I wanted to capture the different shades that display with the different light angles.

 The Young, Wild, and Cruelty Free eye palette.

@Ispend2much6  Congrats!!! So glad you got this, and thanks for the pretty pics. I can't wait to hear how you like the lashes!! 🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@PrettyPaint   Awww, thanks!  I think I need a bribe to attempt those lashes; I'm afraid of yanking out the few I have of my own with the glue!  Bet I can extort  a lunch out from my husband. 🙂

[PrettyPaint]

@Ispend2much6  Oh yikes. Hopefully the glue they came with is gentle. I am not someone who is blessed with an abundance of lashes, so I'll need to be careful with that too.

Congratulations,  @Ispend2much6 !  Thank you for showing each item and swatching the highlighter and paint pot!  💖💖💖

[Ispend2much6]

@Titian06  Thank you and you're welcome!  I did swatch the highlighter pretty heavily by dipping my finger into it.  It probably could be applied more lightly.
