Feedback Wanted: Team BIC’s 2024 Holiday Gratis Thread!

[TeamBIC]

Happy Holidays, BIC! 🤍❄ We’re sending select members a token of our appreciation for their participation in the Beauty Insider Community all year round, and this thread is a place for recipients to share their unboxings! 🤗 It warmed our hearts to see how much you loved last year’s epic Community Faves-themed countdown, so this year we’re sticking with a similar format, while putting a new spin on the unboxing festivities…. with 10 Days of Trending Picks from Team BIC!

You may recognize some of these products being buzzed-about on social, or in rotation on our Trending at Sephora page. 🤳🔥 They may not be official Community Favorites just yet, but if you love what you try, you could very well skyrocket them into Sephora.com greatness by tagging them in your Forum posts or future Gallery looks! 🤩 

Similar to last year, recipients will have 10 Sephora products to unveil across 10 days … but you’re welcome to open on your own schedule (we won’t judge)! Though packages may arrive on varying schedules, they should all land before mid-December. While you’re free to begin unboxing your gratis as you wish when you receive it, we are challenging you to post photos and share your thoughts on each of the products according to the schedule below so we can all experience the magic together (starting with the gift labeled “Day 1”)! You can absolutely post product photos and reactions earlier if you like – we might just suggest hiding them behind a spoiler tab to make it easier for other recipients to avoid any unwanted sneak peeks at the surprises in future days ahead! 

• Day 1: Tuesday, 12/10
• Day 2: Wednesday, 12/11
• Day 3: Thursday, 12/12
• Day 4: Friday, 12/13
• Day 5: Saturday, 12/14
• Day 6: Sunday, 12/15
• Day 7: Monday, 12/16
• Day 8: Tuesday, 12/17
• Day 9: Wednesday, 12/18
• Day 10: Thursday, 12/19

We’re so excited to see those unboxings and get your reactions! Hit the “Reply” button and don’t forget to use the “#” symbol to tag any of these Trending Picks you mention!

PS: Don't forget the swag! 😉 You may notice that our Ambassadors were gifted a little something extra, so box contents will vary slightly!

Thank you @TeamBIC for including me in another fun round of holiday gift mysteries! This year I’ll try not to look inside any of the bags ahead of time. 😅 That urge is partly why I’m VERY grateful for the BIC merch you thoughtfully included this year: I got to “unwrap” those early, hooray! 

No mistaking which retailer & forum these came from. 😄

I love card cases/wallets like that striped one because I can keep one in the Land’s End canvas tote I usually carry around town. (My tote has an attached internal strap that I always clip to the zipper of one of these little cases.) I use them to hold receipts, bandaids, and other small flat things to free up space in my purse. I’ll put this Sephora case into rotation soon! I especially love the yellow trim in combination with the other colors. 

It’s the little details that make me smile.

When I first felt that case, I thought there were a couple silica packets inside. So I was very surprised to find the cute hair clips in there! 🖤🤍 They’ll definitely come in handy! 

And the snow globe… oh my goodness… I used to collect snow globes but gave most of ‘em away before my last move, so having this one is a nostalgic hug. Gonna keep this one in my new(ish) beauty space. 

Also a good prop to help me get to know my new phone’s front camera. I was prepping for bed, then stopped to open the snow globe box because I couldn’t wait til morning. 😄

Speaking of getting to know my new phone’s cameras: I also took a short video of the snow globe. Waiting to see if it makes it to my Gallery so I can link to it. 

I had visitors when I retrieved my Holiday Gratis package. The youngest visitor (14 years old) reeeaaally wanted the polkadot box and gingham bag, so I let her have both. 🙂 I’m keeping the 10 pouches of secret goodies in my BIC tote, like I did last year. Let’s see how long I can keep myself from unzipping that tote bag and opening a pouch or two! 😅 

Congratulations to everyone else who received this generous gratis!
