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?

Congratulations, @CookieGirl1! Isn’t this box so much fun? That towel is great, too. 

I am so sorry to hear about your family members. I hope they both have a very speedy recovery.

@Mellmars1185 @blackkitty2014 @tsavorite @eshoe @Samtian @Mochapj thank you, all of you!  I appreciate all of your encouragement so much.  It's been a long week BUT everything is going to be fine and you have no idea how much I've missed spending time here with y'all over the last couple of days!

Congratulations, @CookieGirl1 !  Enjoy your goodies! 💖💖💖

@CookieGirl1 sending positive vibes to your family 🙏💞

[CookieGirl1]

@Skunk12puzzola @Titian06 thank you both!  Both family members are going to be fine.  They were actually admitted for completely different reasons but both should back home by the 4th of July so I'm hoping for a more relaxing day then!  I'm just very thankful--and blessed--that God's definitely been with all of us this week.  Thank you both so much for your encouragement ❤️.  I'm always so thankful for everyone here in BIC and the support and love and honestly the sense of "family" that I feel here with all of you.

Is anyone else having an issue with their product reviews not posting in the reviews section? 

[Mellmars1185]

I tend to run into issues when i post on the app so I have been using the website and smooth sailing now!

[CarolBT]

Rut roh @GG84! Mind sending a PM to @TeamBIC with the products you are trying to review so we can look into it for you? Might be some issue with our reviews vendor, or something else we need to troubleshoot.

[GG84]

@CarolBT 

They posted! They just took longer then usual to post 🙂 thank you though ❤️❤️

[CarolBT]

Phew!! Yes, we do have a 72 hr moderation window, but things usually go up faster. Glad they went live!

[SportyGirly125]

@GG84 @I haven’t had any issues.

This is my first time receiving a GIFT from such a well known brand name as Sephora. I mean... it's SEPHORA!!!!

The absolute shock and squealing I did while unboxing this summer treat gratis was hilarious 🤣

If you want to see the video, I have it posted on my IG (ashleylapido) haha 

I have 2 MVP products that shocked me: 

• OUAI Wave Spray 4.9 fl oz/ 145 mL - I had never tried this before, but wow does it make my hair beautifully salted, wave and light. It's a simple, easy product that gives such natural & lovely results. 

• TOM FORD Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil Guys... I had never even SMELLED this scent before it arrived. It is the perfect combo smell of what I would say Hawaii smells like (sand, sunscreen, subtle hints of coconut, hibiscus and salt). That is just the smell. Now the gold sparkles on my skin is a WHOLE other story. It is beautiful!!!

The others are just as amazing, but ones I had tested or smelled before. 

• MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt® Transforming Skin Enhancer Medium came JUST in time... the only shade I had tried was "light" but now I'm even more prepped for a tan summer. Being in the south, I also need makeup products that are going to feel light on the skin and can be set... which this bronzer absolutely does. I would actually recommend y'all pair this with the MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt® Transforming Skin Perfector to get that extra glow and setting power!

• Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Body Cream is the LARGE SIZE?!! Oh my gosh, I'm literally about to drench myself in this cream. It smells so good, and leaves my skin feeling so smooth and hydrated but without it feeling heavy. 

• fresh Sugar Lip Polish Exfoliator is surprisingly fine and gentle. The smell is more organize/natural than I typically like, but honestly the fact that it's gentle on my lips and leaves them feeling hydrated makes it worth it. I finally understand the hype 😂

THANK YOU @TeamBIC for even noticing me in this huge, huge Sephora community and sending me these amazing products. I can't wait to get more involved and connect with other beauty addicts. 😉😍

The best summer surprise EVER!I unboxed with the glasses on and bag in hand (haha).

[Mochapj]

Congrats @AshLapido 

[Cherylb88]

This picture is everything!! So cute!! I love that box everything came in too! I would definitely keep and reuse if I were you. 

[AshLapido]

Haha thank you!! Yes oh my goodness, I wanted to use mine too but my husband threw it out 🙄😂

[eshoe]

Congrats @AshLapido and may I say that you embody the summer spirit here 😎
