Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

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.

 

I’m sure all of you are eager to see what they’ve 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 their…ahhhh thé suspense is too much!!!😝, this is a great place to both write and read the best quality product reviews!  It doesn’t get more honest than from the mouths of BIC members you talk to everyday and who know exactly what kind of information you like!  It’s also a great place to ask questions on any products members have received and know you’ll 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 everyone’s 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 tarts🥰🥰🥰🥧

Also, I heard someone say today they finished their holiday shopping.  Show of hands, who’s finished or, ahem… started their holiday shopping?  😆✋🏻 I started and am nowhere near finished status; as collected and organized as that would be.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

@CynthieLu Love the novel!  I haven't tried out the K18 products yet so I'm glad to hear how they've been working so well for you.

 

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thank you @missjeanie I was like.. ooops this is long 😅

It took me awhile to find my balance with k18, how much to use, if I need extra conditioning agents after etc.. but once I found my balance it was just what my fried hair needed.  Now I only use it when my hair needs a boost 🚀 

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Good to know @CynthieLu I found the same with olaplex products.  I think some of these newer formula masks are great once you do find that perfect method though! 

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Great review

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thank you so much @CorgiMommy 😀

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Great review @CynthieLu !  You did a great job with your blowout.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thank you @Ispend2much6 , the dryer made it easy, she did all the work 💪💛 😋

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

It must be nice to get one of these.  I posted one year about my journey of using up my samples and I got nothing that year.  What do you need to do to be included?  

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

@CorgiMommy You have to be picked and it is based on how active you are on here.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Hey all!  I made a huge mess out of my hair this morning!  I haven't blown dry my hair in maybe 20 years???  After washing with my regular shampoo, I used my second dose of the K18 mask.  After 4 or 5 minutes, I used one pump of JVN Complete Blowout Styling Milk 3 oz / 90 mL and the used the Drybar Buttercup Blow-Dryer on the half fan and middle heat settings.  It took about 2 minutes to dry my fine, thin, wavy, curly hair.  I now have very poofy, frizzy hair!  It looks worse than when I get up in the morning.  So I tried the Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil to try to tame the frizzies.  What a surprise, at least with the first pump, it didn't smell!  The #Moroccanoil Mini Moroccanoil Treatment Light 0.85 oz/ 25 mL absolutely stinks!  So I was expecting the worst.

 

I don't know what I did wrong.  I'm not sure what the JVN product is for as the blow dryer isn't nearly as hot as hair dryers on the low settings were in the 70s and 80s.  I'll continue to use the Moroccanoil as long as it doesn't smell.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

@Titian06 Sorry to hear about your hair turning out worse than when you get up in the morning. I don't know if this will help but it took me a long time to get a hang of blow drying. I started off by using a clip to section off the part i want to blow dry. I feel like using some type of round brush helps create tension to hold the hair in place to reduce frizz. Thanks for sharing ! 🥰

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Oh my goodness! Sorry that was a rough start for you and I hope you get some great tips and find them to work for you!! @Titian06 

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thanks, @sister13 !  I'll get there eventually! 😘

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Oh no @Titian06 ! 😅 I am not even trying to blow dry my hair because it would be a complete disaster. Once I knew what the gift was, I looked for the corresponding hair diffuser to use on my wavy/curly hair and Drybar The Bouncer Diffuser is on its way. 

I am sure that you will find the way to make all the products work for you!

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

A smart idea for you to purchase the diffuser, @Saradestin !  I hope y.ou love the dryer and other products!  Your hair will look even more gorgeous than it already does! 😍

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

@Titian06 🤗🤗🤗 I am seeing creat reviews about these products so I am expecting for them to work wonderfully for me. I don’t take good care of my hair so these products are going to be very well received by my thirsty hair. 😊

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

You may need to purchase a separate diffuser for the blow dryer such as Drybar The Bouncer Diffuser . This will encourage your wave/curl pattern @Titian06 .

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thanks, @Loretta55 !  I ordered the diffuser with my 20% off.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Hope that you will have even better hair days using your new diffuser @Titian06. I plan on trying my out tomorrow along with a couple of the products. I only wash my hair once a week.

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

Thanks, @Loretta55 !  I look forward to your reviews. 🙂

Re: Sephora Holiday Gratis 2022!!!

@Titian06 that sounds like a bevy of hair adventures all at once and wow, do I feel you. Your hair went through a lot!  It is kind of like an elimination diet at this point, trying to figure out what works and what is causing more problems than it is worth.

 

Glad I never tried the Light version of the oil, though 🤣
