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.

@Mellmars1185  Right! So fun! They should fit in my luggage so I should be good to bring them with me! 

[JoSometimes]

Hooray @ather! You got one too! Bringing them with you to Mexico will be fun! Enjoy your holiday!

[ather]

@JoSometimes  Thank you!! Yes my husband actually told me I should bring it with me to Mexico!!! I think it’s a great idea. Maybe some of the products will even come in handy there!!

@ather @Congrats on the gratis. Enjoy your vacay.

@SportyGirly125  Thanks! A getaway is much needed! 

[JoSometimes]

I’m so honoured to be included in this year’s Holiday Gratis. Thank you @TeamBIC for including me! I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity! 🖤🤍

My box arrived today as well! I know from both shipping and receiving any kind of parcel from across the border that there must be a slip on the outside of the box with a brief description of its contents. 

Spoiler

A closer look at one of the slips revealed “Hat, Gloves, Cosmetics” 🤔

The box with a banana for scale. I can’t believe the size of this thing! This box is gigantic! I have tucked it away in the garage for now to prevent it from becoming a  temptation. If anyone has already peeked and knows that something in there shouldn’t be left in the cold, please let me know so I can hide it in the house.

You guys have seriously outdone yourselves. I know I can’t pay you back for this, so I’ll need to find a way to pay it forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊

@JoSometimes ,

That's not so bad!  And it gets better every day!

[Saradestin]

Congratulations @JoSometimes !! 🎊🎉 I love the banana for dimensions 😂

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @Saradestin! The box was so massive I needed something common that people generally know the size of it, hence banana for scale. 🍌🍌🍌

[CorgiMommy]

@JoSometimes I agree @TeamBIC did out  themselves.

I would be reluctant to leave it in the cold.  I have no idea what is in there.

[JoSometimes]

@CorgiMommy It’s buried deep in a closet now. 8 more days until the first one!
