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 @PrettyPaint 🥰 I was surprised that a colour corrector would be something of interest to me and really thought it would be fussy.  You can imagine how surprised I was to be able to use it so easily as I’m not good at following written instructions 😂 would be an understatement 

[PrettyPaint]

@2manyperfumes  That's great that they are easy to use. Did you get sent the "classic" version? They don't sell this brand at US sephora, but I see there are three different versions on the brand's site (a dark, classic, and beige). Their site doesn't really give a description how you should choose a wheel, though. Thanks! 🙂

[2manyperfumes]

I lost my post lol I’m resending @PrettyPaint I think it’s the classic there are only two offered on my Sephora site.  

[PrettyPaint]

@2manyperfumes  Thanks so much! Yeah, that looks like classic! 

[Sunnysmom]

How awesome for you @2manyperfumes and well deserved too. Thanks for good reviews, very helpful! 

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @Sunnysmom ❤️

Congratulations, @2manyperfumes !

It's great to hear your thoughts on using these products!

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @tsavorite 🥰 I’m using them daily to see which might become a holy grail item.  Right now definitely the Olaplex 👍

[curlychiquita]

Congratulations,  @2manyperfumes, and thank you for your reviews! I love Olaplex 3 and have the oil on my loves list.

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @curlychiquita ❤️ Yes it’s certainly an awesome oil. I have a few holy grail hair products and this will make the cut.  My other holy grail item is the Good Behaviour spray by IGK.  I like the olaplex better than the Briogeo oil that I have.  It’s lighter and penetrates quicker.  

My live or die Sephora Hair products are

IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Anti-Frizz Smoothing Spray 5.6 oz/ 186 mL

IGK Mixed Feelings Purple Leave-In Blonde Toning Drops 1 oz/ 30 mL

IGK - 30,000 Feet Volume Powder Spray

LIVING PROOF - Color Care Whipped Glaze

Thank you @byme4u 🥰 the lavender and green correctors are my new besties ❤️ Lol.  I’ll be testing out the two creams in my morning routine and posting updates periodically.  I have a few holy grail skincare items that include Tatcha, PTR and Origin so these will be interesting.  

[lmaster]

awesome!! so happy these items are working good for you so far @2manyperfumes

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @lmaster 😘

You look great, @2manyperfumes!  💖💖💖   What lipstick are you wearing?

[2manyperfumes]

Thank you @Titian06 and @Guessgal  ❤️ I’m wearing Lady Danger by MAC Cosmetics.  It’s a blood orange shade.  Very bright leans more orange than red depending on the lighting.  

[Titian06]

Thanks, @2manyperfumes !  Now I know I have to get that color!  I've looked at it many times.

[Guessgal]

@2manyperfumes I second this question! And you look amazing as always ☺️

Living in the US , I have never tried any Lise Watier products @2manyperfumes. Your review of the color corrector has me very interested in trying it. I may have to purchase it next time I visit Toronto.

[2manyperfumes]

I’ve never tried a Lise Watier product ever @Loretta55 so I was ummm what do I do with this since I have a contour palette and I’ve tried colour correcting before and hated it.  I read where each corrector goes and for me I have some redness on my cheeks and brightening helps define the lower jaw bone.  You certainly don’t need a lot and it glided on without patchiness.  Stayed smooth and didn’t crease.  I wore it all day and there was no makeup cracking and it certainly helped over my dark circles and where I have discolouration.  Like the Farsali primer and can now see why it’s received very good reviews.  

[Loretta55]

Which of the Farsali primers do you use @2manyperfumes ?

[2manyperfumes]

I have the one in the teal green bottle @Loretta55 ❤️

FARSÁLI - Skintune Blur Perfecting Primer Serum
