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

HolidayGratisthread-112624.jpg

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!

 

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

@faeriegirl Glad that you enjoyed the mask! I agree that the puff is definitely much nicer than others I have used in the past. 

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

Have fun with your goodies. How long does the puff usually last for? Do you wash it daily or every other day? @faeriegirl 

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

@Buootiful  I usually wash it once a week and I use them 2-3 months.

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

I'm glad you like the Pocket Puff and Dr. Jart mask, @faeriegirl ! 🥰

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

Good to hear your thoughts @faeriegirl , enjoy all your new stuff!

Thank you so much @TeamBIC what a fun way to spread holiday cheer! Opening these has been so much fun and really

helped to make the season bright and special for me. I can’t believe the big day is just around the corner! I’m so excited to use all of these, especially the Nuface! 
Merry Christmas to yo

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

Congratulations, @bakeamuffin!

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

Love seeing all the products together, @bakeamuffin ! 😍

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

Day 10

NuFACE NuFACE® Mini+ Starter Kit 

Holiday Day 10a.jpg

Holiday Day 10b.jpg

Woah! 😮
 
Should I be surprised by @TeamBIC's extravagance and generosity with this Day 10 beauty? No. 
 
Was I surprised by it? Absolutely. 
 
Seriously, at this point, TeamBIC's ability to raise its own bar is legendary. Even so, it floors me every time. Every. Time. 
 
This is ... unreal. Using beauty tools, devices has been something I've been working on using with more consistency - that hasn't gone as well as I hoped (user error or just not being able to get into a good routine). I did some reading on this beauty and it seems that the brand recommends using the device "five times a week for 60 days".  Okay, it looks like this NuFace gadget might give me a new face 😉 (or a nu-ish one) in the new year! Thank you TeamBIC for this beauty and all the goodies and joy you have given us!  
 
A recap and final thoughts:

Letter to TeamBIC.jpg
 
Dear Santa,
 
Hey there, big guy! I sure hope you're bringing your A-game this year because the @TeamBIC beauties have set an incredibly high bar. Just take a scroll through this Feedback Wanted: Team BIC’s 2024 Holiday Gratis Thread!  Time to step it up, Mister Claus.
 
Yours truly,
itsfi
 
 
P.S. You're gonna put me on the naughty list for this, aren't you?! 😖😞
 
P.P.S. There's a fine line between being cheeky and being naughty, Santa! Just sayin'...

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

Enjoy some self care with the Nuface! @itsfi 

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

Thank you @Buootiful! A lot of self care moments to be had with so many of these treats. #spoiled

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

This is all so fun @itsfi ! Too clever. Enjoy all of your goodies. Like you I need to be super consistent again with our NuFACE! Hello New Year’s Resolution number 1 maybe! 

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

@Sunnysmom, these unboxings were a great add to holiday cheer. We’ll all have some goodies to enjoy throughout the new year. 

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

Love the collage and letter to Santa, @itsfi ! 🎄❄️☃️. Enjoy your Nu device!

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

@Titian06, thank you. We were spoiled beyond measure.

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

@itsfi Your note to Santa is adorable. I'm not sure Santa can compete with @TeamBIC. I can't wait to hear your experiences with the NuFace device. I will definitely need to work on a schedule if the recommended use is five times per week!!!

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

Yeah, I agree with you @PrettyPaint@TeamBIC has been running circles around Santa! 

 

lol, when I read it, my first thought was 60 days? We're in for the long term. Then I read 5 days a week and I paused ... 🤣 My plan is to work up to that 5 days cadence, and I'm preparing myself mentally for results taking longer than 2 months. I know me - if I were to do even get to 5 days the first week, that would be a feat in and of itself. Ha!

 

I'm going to do more reading and come up with a more realistic game plan for myself - it'll the "slow and steady" approach. Emphasis on the sloooooow part. Hahaha! If I have time, I may play around with it (after reading the instructions) over the holiday weekend. Will plan to keep track of my progress on the It's Tool Time - The BIC Beauty Edition thread. That'll give me some accountability ... or, at least that's my plan. 🤞🤞

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

@itsfi Great idea to post on the beauty tool thread. I can't remember whether I've even been on that one before, but it sounds perfect. I haven't tried it yet because I really think I'll feel more comfortable if I watch some tutorials. 

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

@itsfi  It definitely feels unreal doesn't it?! ... especially Day 10! Holy moly! @TeamBIC  spoiled us for sure! 🙌😃

 

Love the picture collage and the note to Santa! You're so funny! Nothin' wrong with being a little cheeky! 😂

 

P.S. Super cute nails! 💅 

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

Right?!! It's all cheeky, not naughty. 😉 I figure that even if I get put on the naughty list (for being honest!!! 😇), I've made out like a bandit with all these goodies we were treated to @Shosh85! I'm just gobsmacked by it all. 

 

Thank you, the polish is Deborah Lippmann It's Raining Men and the ornament sticker is from the Rewards Bazaar a couple months ago - Rewards Bazaar Trophy Room. For as long as they've had the rewards program, I've been keeping my points for the $100 rouge reward, for the most part. I don't know what it was about this year, but I redeemed points on several occasions for multiple candles, nail art stickers, and that houndstooth scarf. 😍 Who knows what next year will look like! lol These stickers are from Sephora Beauty Insider - so cute. I hope they put out other similiar stickers for the other holidays / events / occasions during the year. They're really a quick, easy and cute way to jazz up a mani, or just reguar, no polish nails. 

 

I'm really looking forward to trading notes with you on this NuFace. I need to first figure out a schedule of some sort, but I'm planning on easing into a more frequent routine. At least for the first month. I'm not sure I can keep to 5x per week.
