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.

Yes, @tjffc - this is much more than I ever expected and am already having fun testing out some new looks with the palette. One thing I am definitely NOT an expert at is applying lashes, so I am going to have to seek out some help from my fellow BICers!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Congratulations! Thanks for your swatches - they really showcase the bright, fun colors. What a fabulous gift! 

[eshoe]

Thank you @PrettyPaint! they are the kind of shades that made me go back tonight to test things out. Makes me want to join the 100 Shades of Eyeshadow Challenge !

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Oooooh I hope you do! 🙂

[eshoe]

I am definitely in need of some changes next year, @PrettyPaint. Have you done this one before? If so I would love to know if you found any new combos that stuck with you. I think I just need an excuse to experiment more.

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  You know, I love lurking on that thread, but I don't think I've ever posted a look before. 

[eshoe]

Reminds me of when I was a tween, @PrettyPaint. I used to draw faces on paper then use my shadows and lipsticks to create looks😂 I think I would have loved becoming a makeup artist!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Oh my goodness. I actually did that too. And I applied makeup to my little ponies. 

[eshoe]

Ok I wish that I could give you the best hug right now, @PrettyPaint. This community is the best🥰

[CarolBT]

[Kim888]

What an exciting gratis @eshoe - those swatches are so fun!!

[eshoe]

They are, aren’t they, @Kim888? I can see myself using this palette to bring some spark to my neutral base. The oranges, and bright teal, particularly.
