It’s always fun to see and hear about the gratis package. Please feel free to share your unboxings and feedback on the summer treats on this thread.

Many thanks to Sephora and our incredible @TeamBIC for this amazing opportunity and the thought and work that went into curating this summer surprise. 🥰

Super excited to see what goodies are en route. In the meantime, I'll be keeping an eye out for certain trucks in the neighborhood. 😉

Could a summer treat gratis be in there?

Dear @TeamBIC ,

It's almost 4 years to the day that I received my very first gratis package. I was floored then by your generosity and thoughtfulness and am even more so now.  Long before I started participating actively on this forum, I stumbled onto BT/BIC, looking for tips and tricks on a makeup application technique. I continued to come back to it as a resource for information on products, looks, etc., until one day, I made my first post, and then another, and another and ... Simply put, it's the best rabbit hole to fall down! I've learned from so many here, have "met" some wonderful folks along the way, and from time to time, have been so lucky to have been on the receiving end of some amazing gratis packages, like this one! 💝

Thank you, thank you for this awesome collection of summer treats! There's a fun mix of long-loved beauties (hello, Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream) as well as beauties that have been on my list of things to try - love the Tom Ford Soleil Blanc fragrance and am excited to try the #TOM FORD Mini Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil 1.5 oz/ 45 mL Oil for the first time - it smells fantastic and look at that sparkle! If it has @blackkitty2014's seal of approval, I know it will be great! And this MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt® Transforming Skin Enhancer - I once asked a cast member about it and when she went to try it herself for the first time, we both let out a collective "Ohhhhh!!!!" that caught the attention of a few others in the store who made their way to the display. I confess I was a little scared by how dark the Medium shade appear in the pan but @heartsmyface has alleviated that by sharing that it can be sheered out and so far, even I can make it work, and if it doesn't, this is more incentive to give more attention to my self-tanners and bronzing oils. 😉

It's hard to believe that I've never tried the fresh Sugar Lip Polish Exfoliator until now, but so far, so good. And the same goes for the OUAI Wave Spray 4.9 fl oz/ 145 mL - it has that lovely rose Oaui scent that I adore and a few spritzes to my roots gives me that zhuzh I need - these fine, stick-straight strands are definitely all for the extra volume and fullness! 💖

While not everyone in the house will agree that I need another bag, there's been no denying that this tote is the cutest! 😍 As everyone has said, lovin' these sunnies❣️ 🕶 Thank you, TeamBIC, for these amazing goodies. In true TeamBIC form, you went above and beyond. I say that not simply for these particular treats but for gratis itself. With things being as they are, it's not surprising (or unreasonable, really) for companies to pull back, suspend or end gifts like this. That you've continued to provide gratis and that you continue to outdo yourselves with each surprise (I mean, seriously, how do you beauties come up with such creative and spectacular gratis packages every time?!!), well, that speaks volumes. Thank you truly for your commitment to this Community! 

xoxo,

P.S.  Now, after this long-winded note (so sorry! Brevity will be something I consider for my 2023 resolutions - ha!), I'm off for some fun in the sun with these bevy of beauties! Will be back to post some more thoughts on these treats here and on their product page. Thank you again @CarolBT @GeorginaBT @LexBT @AlexBT @Anna2BT! 😘 You lovelies are phenomenal!

Congratulations @itsfi !

[eshoe]

Congratulations @itsf! Wow, four years…time sure flies when you are having way more fun than you ever could have imagined along the way ☺️ I was surprised to read you had yet to try the fresh. And I share in your ‘ooooooh!’ over the Mario, what a difference a swatch can make. As with everything else beauty related, enjoy!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, Thank you. All these years and this is the first time I’ve tried the fresh lip scrub. 😬 I must have been distracted by other similar products. 😆 That definitely happens alot!

[Mcakes]

Ok I don't know why but your post just made me cry @itsfi 😭 4 years ago seems like yesterday. Such a testament to our love of this Community. You've always been such a bright light here. Congratulations on getting this gratis 💕

[itsfi]

Ohhhh, I’m sorry @Mcakes. 😢 It feels like so much longer, in a good way. Thank you; that really means a lot coming from you. I’ve leaned a lot here from interacting with folks like you and have had a blast watching folks’ friendships develops and developing some of my own. Thank YOU for your kindness and joy. BIC really is a very special place in the internet!

[PrettyPaint]

Congratulations @itsfi. Brevity is overrated - everything you said is very meaningful. Also, you can never have too many bags (or coffee).

[itsfi]

Hahaha! I love your thinking @PrettyPaint! 😍 Never too many bags, or coffee, or shoes, or lippies, or ... 🤣

[faeriegirl]

Congratulations @itsfi!❤️
