Oh my goodness gracious!!! I am just really overwhelmed by the generosity of @SephoraBIC, @TeamBIC, @briogeo, @DiorBeaute, @Kerastase, and @DrMurad! Thank you for this amazing gratis! My hands are literally shaking as I type this post. Wow! So many of these beauties have been in my cart or on my loves lists and now I can try them! My heart is just so full and humbled by this goodness. Thank you!! ❤️ ❤️

Planning on using a couple of these beauties tonight and will be back to post my initial thoughts on them here. 🙂 Thank you again!

ETA: first impressions...

Briogeo Superfoods Banana + Coconut Nourishing Shampoo + Conditioner Duo for Dry Hair

Spoiler

I used the Briogeo shampoo and conditioner this morning and wow! This stuff smells amazing! Reminds me of banana candies, a bit like banana runts. Bananalicious! But the scent isn’t the only noteworthy thing about these products. The shampoo has a thinner consistency to it, lathers well and leaves my hair clean without feeling dry, strangly or stripped of its oils or moisture. In fact, my hair feels really soft, light and nourished. The consistency on the conditioner reminds me of a smoothie and the ingredients list makes me think of (and want) a tropical smoothie – banana, coconut, pineapple, papaya, mango and more!! It’s lightweight, creamy and does an excellent job of detangling my hair and making it look and feel soft, smooth and shiny – glossy shiny, not greasy shiny. <DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">I used the Briogeo shampoo and conditioner this morning and wow!

KéRASTASE - Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum

Spoiler

The Kerastase night serum is described as “a leave-in, overnight serum that nurtures and detangles hair while you sleep.” Sounds dreamy. 😉 The bottle is beautiful and serum itself is lightweight and smells really good. The scent is familiar to me but I can’t figure out what exactly it is. A little of this goes a long way so this bottle is going to last. The serum applies very easily and does not weigh down my hair – a huge plus, but I do need to remember to focus the product on the ends and length; if I put too much on the top or crown of my head, it can look a bit greasy by the end of the day. I don’t typically get 8 hours of sleep and the night I used it I got 6 and the next morning I woke up and made my way to the bathroom to check on my hair and …. whoa!! Color me impressed. My hair looked and felt soft, silky, smooth and shiny. This made a very good first impression. I’m looking forward to using this one again.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">The Kerastase night serum is described as “a leave-in, overnight serum that nurtures and detangles hair while you sleep.” Sounds dreamy. <SPAN class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:"><span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></SPAN>  The bottle is beautiful and serum itself is lightweight and smells really good.

SEPHORA COLLECTION - Exfoliating Wipes - Bamboo - Matifying

Spoiler

I love bamboo as a skincare ingredient and was excited to have received these Sephora Collection Exfoliating Wipes. I’ve used a few different SC Wipes, both the regular and exfoliating ones. With the exfoliating wipes, I use the exfoliating side primarily on my nose because it can be quite harsh to use elsewhere on my face. On occasion, I will use the exfoliating side as a gentle scrub on my elbows and soles of my feet. The non-exfoliating side is much gentler and good to use all around. The bamboo one smells nice - clean; I’m not sure what bamboo smells like so I can’t say how closely it resembles the scent of bamboo. I like to keep these wipes in my gym bag, to use right after a workout and to clear my face of sweat, etc. before heading home to shower.

Thank you so much @mrsmouse!! 🤗 I’m excited to try out all the great gratis. The first few items I’ve tried have been wonderful. Will update my OP when I get home tonight.

Congratulations on receiving such a fun filled bundle of goodies @itsfi . Have fun!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you so much @fatimamummy! 😃 I’m so appreciative to have received these treats. These will be so much fun to play with between work and shuttling guests around town this holiday weekend.

Loretta55 · ‎07-03-2019

Congratulations on receiving this awesome gratis @itsfi . Great review on the Briogeo products but I still have enough hair products to last me at least another year:

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @Loretta55! 😃 Always so moved by the generosity of the gratis! ♥️ It’s so interesting how quickly we can accumulate hair products! Ha! This one would be a nice one to add to the list once you pare down your supply of shampoos and conditioners.

GalPalVal17 · ‎07-03-2019

@itsfi Congrats on your gratis. The shampoo/conditioner sounds lovely. I was just talking to my hunny about the banana runts last night and how I love that one out of all of them. So your description was on point for me 🙂

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

@GalPalVal17, love that banana runts were on topic! 🍌 This Briogeo shampoo and conditioner is really good.

ShortErica · ‎07-03-2019

Congrats @itsfi! I see you are no rising star II 😉. Hope you enjoy all of these goodies!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @ShortErica! 😃 I can’t wait to give all these treats a try!

skcfan · ‎07-03-2019

Congrats @itsfi and everyone else receiving this gift! You've definitely convinced me to add the Briogeo shampoo and conditioner to my list. I want to smell like a banana runt!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Haha! 😆 The banana candy smell lingers but not in a bad way at all. I get a light banana scent when I smell my hair. I may be smelling my hair all day today @skcfan. 🤣

jen143xo · ‎07-03-2019

Congrats @itsfi What an awesome gift! I cant wait to hear all of your thoughts! Briogeo is one of my fav brands!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @jen143xo! I love the Briogeo hair mask and just used the shampoo and conditioner this morning - it's smells so good and I am loving how it leaves my hair clean without stripping it of oils and nourished without feeling heavy. 🙂

jen143xo · ‎07-03-2019

I love the hair mask too! Thank you, I will have to look into this shampoo and conditioner! I love hair products! I might have as much of them as I do make up and skin care LOL @itsfi

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Hahaha! 😂🤣 I totally hear ya @jen143xo! I started getting into hair products last year but have definitely made up for lost time when it comes to hair masks! 😆

PrettyPaint · ‎07-03-2019

Congratulations @itsfi. What a truly fantastic gift! I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the items. I have been looking at many of them lately, so I can't wait to read your thoughts. Enjoy!!!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @PrettyPaint!! ❤️ Everything looks amazing; I had a hard time figuring out which to try out first. I think I'll go with the ones that I've had in my cart since they launched - Briogeo set, Kerastase serum and the Dior palette. Fun!

veronika23 · ‎07-03-2019

Yay!!! Congrats @itsfi!!!

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @veronika23! I keep looking at the treats and it's so much goodness in a box. I'm excited to try everything!! ❤️

SportyGirly125 · ‎07-02-2019
