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!

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....

@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  and  @BrendaBT  love this video! Both did an awesome job explains how to use BIC. This is perfect for all the newcomers!! 💕

[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 , great intro video!  Especially love the sparkly BIC jacket on Katie! 😍

Will this be a pinned post for easy access? Or maybe this can be linked in the New Member Monday posts as a great starting point for new community members?

[BrendaBT]

@MlleCC Thank you so much! And Yes just like @AlexBT said we want to incorporate it in a few different places around Community for easy access for all community members! 🙂 

[AlexBT]

@MlleCC Yes yes yes! All amazing ideas. We're working on getting it incorporated in a few different places around Community for easy access - New Member Monday included! - but since it's live we wanted to get a head start and show it off to our favorite people first. 🙂

Thanks for lookin' out for our lovely newbies (and for the compliments!) ❤️
