Feedback Wanted: TeamBIC’s 2023 Holiday Gratis Thread

[TeamBIC]

It’s the holiday season, BIC! ⛄❄️ This year, we gave select members a chance to unbox 10 days of Community Faves as a token of our appreciation for their participation in the Beauty Insider Community. Community Favorites are some of the most talked-about products among members, and we thought we would celebrate these tried-and-true holy grails by gifting them to some of you! 🎁

This thread is a place for those who are receiving these goodies from us to share their gratis – though this won’t be your traditional unboxing. 😉 Without giving too much away, we are highlighting 10 days’ worth of Community Faves, meaning that you’ll have 10 Sephora products to unveil across 10 days … should you choose to refrain from opening them all at once (no judgement either way 😄).

Though our recipients’ packages may take varying time to get delivered, they should all arrive 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 unboxing 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 keep the surprise alive for fellow recipients who are still on their unboxing journey. 🙏

• Day 1: Monday, 12/11
• Day 2: Tuesday, 12/12
• Day 3: Wednesday, 12/13
• Day 4: Thursday, 12/14
• Day 5: Friday, 12/15
• Day 6: Saturday, 12/16
• Day 7: Sunday, 12/17
• Day 8: Monday, 12/18
• Day 9: Tuesday, 12/19
• Day 10: Wednesday, 12/20

Happy holidays - we can’t wait to see your photos and hear your reactions to the products you receive! ✨ Hit the “Reply” button and don’t forget to use the “#” symbol to tag any Community Favorites you mention.

@TeamBIC You are all such a generous team. 🖤🤍 You put together an amazing surprise for us, thank you! This is going to be fun! I'm now excitedly perched on the edge of my seat! I think we are all blown away by your generosity with these Gratis everytime. 💕

 

I'm incredibly grateful to be included in this fantastic fun.

I know following along with your suggested unboxing is going to be like opening each one with everyone here, I can't wait! 🌟

Anyone have any guesses what these are going to be?? I'm all ears 😉

@CynthieLu thinking of BIC faves:

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Peppermint (I think they would send this flavor for the holiday)

ILIA Mini Fullest Volumizing Mascara Classic Black (or is there another ilia...I forget)

K18

Olaplex

NATASHA DENONA I Need a Nude Eyeshadow Palette 

MAKEUP BY MARIO Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette 

Maybe HG blush/highlight palette

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL 

I need some more time to think about lippies, colognes, antiaging, etc.

[greeneyedgirl107]

More guesses: ABH brow pencil; Skinfix Eczema+ Hand Repair Cream 3 oz/ 89 mL or L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream Shea Butter 

[Westcoasty]

@greeneyedgirl107  You've certainly picked some inspired items! I'd be thrilled to get any of those. And the DIOR Lip Glow Oil as well, since everybody seems to love it. Or the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain would also be fun to try.

I'm sure I'll be thrilled no matter what it is. This is my first gratis and I'm sooooo excited!

@Westcoasty ,

I am wishing you Good Luck! (and also Better Luck!) on your entire Moving process!  Chin up!  It will all be over soon! 

Or, by Christmas.  🎄  🎄  🎄

[Westcoasty]

@tsavorite  Yes, settling in at my new place is my Christmas present to myself! Only sometimes I wish I had just gotten myself a mani-pedi instead. 😂

[tsavorite]

@Westcoasty ,

I hope that it will all be worth it for you in the long run!  Good luck!

[AznAngelLiz]

Congrats @Westcoasty on your first gratis. Can't wait to see your unboxing pictures.

[Westcoasty]

Thanks @AznAngelLiz ! Yes, it's very exciting. I can't wait till my box is safely here!

[itsfi]

@Westcoasty, I just saw that this will be your first gratis package. That put a smile on my face. 😁 Congrats. Very much looking forward to watching your unboxing! 

[Westcoasty]

Thanks @itsfi ! I'm looking forward to it as well. I'm in the throes of moving to a new place, but I should be able to take a photo and post it every day for ten days, right? 🙃

[itsfi]

Oh, you have a lot going on @Westcoasty. Maybe taking pics of the treats will give you an opportunity to check out how the different rooms in your new house work out as a background for future photos?! Good luck with your move. 

[Westcoasty]

LOL. Couldn't hurt @itsfi ! I'm already opening my L'Occitane and Evoolution Advent calendars there. Thanks for the good wishes for my move!

[CynthieLu]

Congratulations @Westcoasty I'm so thrilled for you! 🥳🥳🥳 *Jumping for joy!* That makes this so fun and extra special for you. 💖

[Westcoasty]

@CynthieLu  That's for sure! I keep looking at the package tracker, watching it getting closer. LOL
