Holiday Greetings to the lovely people of BIC whichever holiday you celebrate!
As many of you are aware, @TeamBIC has this naughty little habit of turning into a bunch of festive elves and spoiling a random number of active BIC community contributors with a surprise holiday treat come this time of year! Yeah the imagery is there of TeamBIC in pointy green hats making the magic happen while sipping on hot cocoa.
Iโm sure all of you are eager to see what theyโve been up to this season! I know I am! They never fail to impress me with their creative box designs (my inner cat loves the boxes as much as the contents) Of course the contents are always wonderful too;);)
This thread is for expressing your community excitement, making wild or educated sleuthed-out guesses as to what could be inside and for sharing with the community, photos of any gifts you receive, and also for congratulating other community members on their awesome luck and for making BIC the beauty haven it is!
And once people have had a chance to try out theirโฆahhhh thรฉ suspense is too much!!!๐, this is a great place to both write and read the best quality product reviews! It doesnโt get more honest than from the mouths of BIC members you talk to everyday and who know exactly what kind of information you like! Itโs also a great place to ask questions on any products members have received and know youโll get a speedy response!
I look forward to seeing all the photos
posted as members receive and open boxes, sharing in the joy and witnessing how everyoneโs surprises work for them!
Speaking of gratis that works for me, I have been wearing the Kilian Apple Brandy fragrance from last year all week!!! A continuous thank you to @TeamBIC for every single time I smell like spicy mince meat tarts๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅง
Also, I heard someone say today they finished their holiday shopping. Show of hands, whoโs finished or, ahemโฆ started their holiday shopping? ๐โ๐ป I started and am nowhere near finished status; as collected and organized as that would be.

@CynthieLu Congratulations! I am so excited. I have no plans this weekend. Now I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! ๐ ๐
I agree with @heartsmyface , @Mellmars1185 enjoy the feeling! Your a kid and @TeamBIC is the Santa, today is Christmas morning for you ๐
Exciting anticipation, I'm so filled with it ๐ People in my house don't get this feeling, but I know all you guys do, omg exciting day!
@Mellmars1185 Well technically if BIC is a big family and youโve been gifted Christmas gratisโฆ. You ARE a kid at Christmas ๐ the morning partโฆ. Yeah donโt wait til morning! Thatโs just torture! ๐
@heartsmyface Hehe i am digging right into it when I get it ๐ค
@heartsmyface I have not started shopping. Ever since 2020 our Christmas's have been scaled back with the gifts. We stilll need to exchange gifts from our secret Santa with my family from last year. With that being said I am really looking forward to this gratis. I havrneber recieved a holiday one before.i was thinking it might include some of the Sephora Holiday products?
@Mellmars1185 ๐ This is your first Gratis too? I'm so excited!
This really has been an unconventional few years, I have family I just saw this year for the first time since all the covid things, hopefully you can connect with your family more and catch up on missed time (and on the gift giving ๐ ๐)
@CynthieLu This is th first Holiday Gratis for me ๐
It has been unconventional. I am worried everyone is growing a part. I will try my best to keep the traditions going.
@Mellmars1185 @Thatโs the time to either force the traditions on everyone (they grown but they nearly always appreciate them in retrospect;)) or start new altered versions of traditions that better fit your current life.
@heartsmyface That is a very good way of looking at things! Great ideas ๐ก๐
If you fight for your traditions they'll come back ๐ @Mellmars1185 we're still in the pandemic times, it will get better girl
@Mellmars1185 Ours have been scaled back as well. Weโre hoping this year to resume โOrphans Christmasโ which is basically collecting all the friends who donโt have Christmas plans and adopting them for Christmas dinner. The crowd constantly changes, we never know who will show up but itโs always a great time!
Ha, we just recently saw my nephews and niece and gave them their Christmas gifts from last Christmas so that doesnโt sound so unusual. Itโs been a very unconventional last couple years.
Oh I am just as in the dark as you are! It could be anything! The Sephora Collection holiday kits do look really good this yearโฆ. Itโs impossible to tell!
@heartsmyface What a wonderful idea of your Christmas dinner. There are some folks who canโt get to see their family at Christmas. Spending time with friends and enjoying dinner together is beautiful ๐ฅฐ
Orphans Christmas is a beautiful idea @heartsmyface everyone needs people sometimes, especially at the holidays ๐โค
I am officially done with my holiday shopping, but I don't have much at all to do.
@thecatsmeow Ahhh, another on the organized team! ๐
Wow, that's cool! I've been Rouge for two years and have never gotten anything. How do you get it?
@thecatsmeow @What she is talking about is gratis not Rouge gifts. You have to be picked and itโs based on how active you are on here.
Thank you! Maybe I just need to talk a whole lot more! ๐
I promise that we are a friendly group here and love to chat @thecatsmeow .
Thank you for the tag @heartsmyface ๐ Iโve been feeling especially nostalgic as of late, and have been looking back on old gratis pictures. Every single one has been such a treat! Thank you @TeamBIC ๐
I still remember the Elizabeth and James (RIP ๐ญ) gratis, and may or may not still have one hoarded bottle left of the Bourbon dry shampoo (literally the best ever!). @shimmerbait gave me a birthday gift card and it all went towards multiple bottles of that ๐
The Tarte box was amazing as well! Practically a full face if goodies to try, so much fun. I unboxed it on video with my baby who is now a full fledged toddler ๐ญ Her little hands in that video helping me open it is the cutest thing.
And as quite a few of us have mentioned, that perfume gratisโฆwhoaโฆliterally blew my mind!! So incredibly generous and has led me down the dangerous path of habitual perfume buying ๐
This one coming is definitely hair related, Iโm sooo curious to see what it is ๐ Iโve been enjoying my Drybar The Half Shot Small Round Blow Dryer Brush (not sure if the correct one is tagged ๐ ).
As far as gifting goes, Iโm being a little more intentional this year and mainly focusing on my family. I donโt want to make others feel uncomfortable or feel the urge to reciprocate when they might not be able to.
Gifting is my love language! But Iโve been learning that it can cause others more stress than joy ๐ฌ
Iโve been pretty good this year and chose the Natasha Denona My Dream Eyeshadow Palette as my holiday palette purchase. I was debating getting the PAT McGRATH LABS MTHRSHP MEGA: CELESTIAL ODYSSEY Eyeshadow Palette , but my other holiday palettes from her remain largely untouched. And I am trying not to hoard as many palettes! Getting more intentional with my time and choices.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far! I am so thankful for all the wonderful friendships I have made here. I am looking forward to spending more time on here like I used to โค๏ธ
