Week 9 (12/20 - 12/26): Tag the gift you want to receive this season 🤗

Under $25:

• dae Mini Signature Shampoo and Conditioner Duo - saw a post where @missjeanie recommended this to another BIC member; her review sounded like just what my hair (oily at scalp, dry at ends) needed. Going to check if I have foil samples of the shampoo and conditioner.
• Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml - I don't need another liquid eyeliner, but was intrigued by this one after seeing @danielledanielle's eye look - I have a feeling her line looked so amazing as a result of the DM liner and her makeup skills. The liner would get me part of the way there. (it may also be making its way to me, lol) 

$25 - $50:

• Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter - @Loretta55 is a fan of this body butter and for good reason. I picked up a very sizeable foil sample as a gwp and it's lovely. Very lovely. I have a few body creams to make my way through first, but this has been added to the 2024 list of products to purchase.
• Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner™ 2.53 oz / 75 ml - I've had cloudberries before - I didn't think they had any particular flavor to them, but I'm nonetheless intrigued by what they might do for my skin in serum form along with some other good-for-your-skin ingredients. May wait to see if there's a mini version that will be released at some point.

Over $50:

• Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Mask 2.7 oz / 79 ml - this sounds interesting - said to repair damaged skin though hydration, fatty acids and peptides. Good for dryness and redness. And, it's a mask! 😉
• Westman Atelier Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set - the packaging is beautiful; it's the powder blush I'm most intrigued about - I suspect (maybe hope is a better term) Gucci Westman may make the powder blush available (in petal and other shades) sometime next year. 🤞

Well over $50: 

• HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Go Mat for Recovery and Stress Reduction 

[ellesullivan]

if anything, i would love to receive Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL

[missjeanie]

@ellesullivan The mist on this one is so nice and fine!!

[Berkeley123]

For Christmas I am really wanting Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Face Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide I hear it's amazing and want to try as a new sunscreen. I also would like the new Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench™ Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter for Dry Skin 8.1 oz / 240 mL  body cream, I love SDJ and am hoping to be able to try this new scent and their new spray coming early next year!

[anonymousgirl]

I would choose Tatcha Plumping Dewy Skin Essentials for Dry to Combination Skin ...hopefully, Santa is listening!😉

[tatiannaLYNAY]

The gift that I would want to receive this Christmas would either be the Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette Perfume Set or a Dyson Dyson Airwrap™ Styler Complete Long 😮‍💨

the dyson issss pretty pricy, but postpartum hair loss and frizz is no joke. Since having my baby, I usually just keep my hair up, but I’m going back to work soon & I really just want to keep damage to a minimal when I style while my hair grows back 💛 

[missjeanie]

@tatiannaLYNAY I gifted myself the Airwrap Long last year...  I waited for a 20% off sale, but no regrets! Hope you enjoy some fun gifts. 

[tatiannaLYNAY]

That’s a good idea! I will definitely try to gift it to myself on the next 20% off. Merry Christmas! 🌲 

[CynthieLu]

Congratulations 🎉 🩷🩵 @tatiannaLYNAY 

I think you picked out really nice options for gentle hair styling. 

[tatiannaLYNAY]

Thank you!! I think so too! I really want to get into a hair routine and start prioritizing my self care 🥹 it’s been so long .
