New to Community? Here are 3 Steps to Get Started

[TeamBIC]

Hello beautiful people! Although many of you are familiar with the Beauty Insider Community – aka the BIC - we wanted to give some tips on how to navigate if you are new around here!

If you are new, first of all, we want to welcome you to Sephora’s Beauty Insider Community, your one-stop destination to share beauty advice, inspiration, news, and recommendations with real people in real time. We want you to feel comfortable in the BIC, so in the video above, Team BIC members @KatieBT and @BrendaBT outline the first 3 basic steps to get started.

Step 1:

First step, let’s work on your Profile! Pick a user name, add a photo, and tell us more about you!

Step 2:

Join groups! Head to the Groups page to browse and join different groups that speak to you and find conversations based on your beauty interests.

Step 3:

Introduce yourself in our latest New Member Monday thread, which we feature  the first Monday of every month! Need a little help figuring out how to post a reply or start a new thread in Community? No problem - check out our thread How to Post in Community thread and video.

This Community is a place for friendly discussion, questions, photo sharing, product recommendations, sharing experiences, and connecting with other beauty lovers like yourself – whether you’re a pro or a newbie, or somewhere in between.

We’re so excited you’re here! If you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to ask -- this community LOVES to help.

Now, which part of the BIC are you most excited to explore?  Let us know by hitting the reply button below!

Looking Fabulous as usual Lady @BrendaBT  and Lady @KatieBT !!! You All should host a Talk Show, it is so easy to watch your fun spirits on video all day  🙂

This definitely would have encouraged me to join such a fun and uplifting place asap!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[Rmy63]

I was glad to see this video.  I think I'll be more engaging with this community.

[Donielle1117]

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking for a nice group to get and share advice.  I already like it here. Now off to finish that profile.

@TeamBIC This is a great video 🙂 Yes, everyone is very helpful at BIC ❤️

Side note: in my mind, I have been pronouncing it "bick" the whole time!!

[curlychiquita]

@pocketvenus, I've always said bick, too! 😆

[PrettyPaint]

@pocketvenus  Haha, yes, this is how I've always pronounced it as well. 

[snoflakefaerie]

I also pronounce it that way. I'm so used to it that I said out loud (to the video), "That isn't how we pronounce it!" Then I realized, I don't actually know that, it's just not how I say it....

[pocketvenus]

@snoflakefaerie @missjeanie  Nice to know it's not just me 😛

[missjeanie]

@pocketvenus @I’ve been saying it the same way as you! To hear it pronounced as an initialism rather than an acronym sounded so strange lol

[KatieBT]

@ather thank you so much, we hope new users have an easier time here in the BIC with this info. I wish we made this years ago!!

[BrendaBT]

@ather Thank you! We will incorporate it in a few different places around Community for easy access and I think it will help out our newer community members understand community a lot better 🙂

[ather]

@BrendaBT  Such an awesome idea!! You guys should do more videos! It’s awesome to actually see you and hear your voices!

@KatieBT, @BrendaBT, Super cute video and could you two even be more adorable?!  Love it!  🙂
