I'm so bummed that I did not receive my notification card of the sale until 4 days after my tier could use the discount code. Living in Alaska we have a delay at times in receiving postal mail. 😞

[PrettyPaint]

Yup, I've got to say I agree with all of these choices! 🙂 These are basically most all of my favorite brands (and I naturally voted for many of these...hehe).

[BENZZZZZ]

I love this, please bring it

[yosemitelover]

I agree with the Huda Mercury Retrograde palette. I think their obsessions palettes would be a nice stocking stuffer. They’re nicely priced, small enough to fit in a stocking and come with amazing colors. I have the sapphire and emerald ones and love them. The ruby and amethyst are on my list too.

[Adino]

I think the Huda Mercury Retrograde palette would be the most lovely gift to find under the tree! the mini nude obsessions would make such a fun stocking stuffer too. also the Fenty diamond rollerball is so tiny but it would be so cute to find in your stocking! It's almost like a tiny little glitter snow globe 😄

[Brutalitops]

Such a fun exercise! And gal (or guy) would be lucky to receive a gift from this list 🥰

[GG84]

I don’t have great taste I guess 😂 nothing I selected ended up on the list. I really went outside the box lol 

[blackkitty2014]

Nonsense 😂😉🤣 Whatever you picked, I think they are definitely worth picking. I wasn’t fast enough but look liked whatever I would pick are definitely not here and most of them are sold out 😘😘 I know you’re fabulous regardless ❤️

[AlexBT]

@GG84 We're just getting started! Starting this week we'll be rolling out all the curated gift lists -- these were just the products that were recommended the most across allll the categories. Stay tuned - we'll be linking them here so be sure to check back! 🙂

[LexBT]

@GG84 not true! just had to be recommended by a few of our BICers to be included ❤️

[Brutalitops]

@GG84 same, like this includes things *I* want, but my f&f aren’t makeup junkies so their tastes are totally different from what’s on this list 😄

[ElleElleG]

Fantastic selections, but I expect nothing less from the great tastes within BIC.

And one can NEVER go wrong with Pat McGrath 😉

[labrat1996]

Got the Pat McGrath and The Olaplex for myself. So blown away by the Olaplex, I think I need to get the set for my Daughter!

[Brutalitops]

@labrat1996 that olaplex set is a great value and really works wonders! I’m considering it for my sister for Xmas

Here are swatches of the Smashbox Cosmic Celebration set.  It's so gorgeous, $39, and even a better deal with the sale discount!  https://www.sephora.com/product/cosmic-celebration-3-palette-shooting-star-set-P450872?icid2=product...

[Ispend2much6]

@RebeccaBT   Is this a good place to share swatches of  the seasonal gifts?  It might help someone make a decision.  Thanks!

[AlexBT]

@Ispend2much6 yes yes yes! Love that idea.

[RebeccaBT]

What great ideas! I am definitely purchasing a few of these as gifts! 

Best,
Rebecca

There are so many wonderful gift ideas on site it's hard to choose.  I found even more after I handed in my list. Of course I did.

I have to say, I'm a little shocked that no Fresh items made it onto the top ten list. Their gift sets are so pretty and are at various price points.

[Guessgal]

@Ispend2much6  I agree with you on the Fresh products! I put the FRESH - Enchanted Essentials Gift Set on my form submission since I think it’ll make for a great universal gift 🙂
