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.

itsfi · ‎07-04-2019

Aww, thank you @faeriegirl! I've sampled a few things and so far, it's all been good! Yaaay! I thought I'd be spending most of the 4th just doing some work and going to a BBQ but there'll be some additional fun to be had with these goodies! ❤️

rrroxanne · ‎07-03-2019

Congrats! Amazing gratis. I've been so intrigued by that Shampoo & Conditioner. Thanks for the feedback! Banana runts were my favorite! I'd only eat the banana, and leave the rest lol!

itsfi · ‎07-04-2019

Thank you @rrroxanne! I had a great first impression of the Briogeo shampoo and conditoner! The scent totally took me back to my childhood, going through a box of runts and sorting and separating the different "fruits" - loved the banana one too! 🙂

mmmiu · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you so much @RebeccaBT! I feel so lucky to have received such a generous gratis! Everything looks amazing and I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far. 🙂

michelleshops · ‎07-03-2019

Ack! What a great gratis @itsfi @Shosh85 (and anyone else i might have missed) congrats! I've been debating picking up the Briogeo set (all I want is to smell like banana runts) but I've been waiting for more *cough* honest reviews. I'm glad to hear you've had good first impressions and can't wait to see if everything keeps performing well! I hope the Murad product works well. It sounds like the answer to a lot of people's acne woes!

Shosh85 · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you so much, @michelleshops! I'm most excited to try out the Briogeo! As soon as I finish up the almost empty shampoo and conditioner I have, I'll be crackin' those babies open! If it does smell like banana runts, I'll be happy with that - besides the red hearts, the banana is my favorite... ok, well, maybe it's a tie! Haha! 😂😃

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

You’re making me want to find a box of runts now @Shosh85 @michelleshops

Shosh85 · ‎07-03-2019

@itsfi Haha! 😂 Right?! I love the chewy ones! 😍

itsfi · ‎07-03-2019

Thank you @michelleshops! 😃 I’ll keep you posted on the Briogeo as I use it more. Yes, the Murad!! I didn’t even know about the product until this gratis. It says that for those with sensitive skin to slowly introduce it into a routine. I have some acne scars / dark spots along my neck/jawline and that area for me can be sensitive to products so I’ll use it every few days and see how my skin handles it.

Congrats on the amazing gratis @itsfi ! I can't wait to read your reviews on everything!
