Remember less than a month ago when I bought the Annabelle special quad from Winners? I have never bought a backup for any makeup before because I believe every year more new (and sometimes better) things will come out, and also because the fads are different each year. However, from the Annabelle quad I have fallen completely in love with Laguna, the blueish-teal color, and was determined to get a back up for it even if I have to buy another quad! Unfortunately the Winners I usually go to was sold out of the quad and I had to go do some hunting around. Luckily for me, at a different Winners' location, I found it
and the other palette!
However the quads were in the clearance bin. Which means a dreadful mess and not brand new condition. In fact, most of the boxes were opened or missing an eyeshadow!
At this Winners' I found two incomplete boxes. The first one had the compact & the three eyeshadow shown on the left. The second had a broken compact and the two eye shadows shown on the right.
While I really wanted both quads, even if they are on clearance for $5, I was still a little annoyed by the fact the second box had a broken compact & only two eyeshadows. I went to ask the manager if she would further reduce the second box since:
1. the compact is broken
2. there was only two eyeshadows
3. one of the eyeshadow was not even in full packing.
(Note: Laguna was already out of the black packaging before I bought it.)
The manager took a look at both boxes and realize they were suppose to come in packs of an eyeshadow compact and four eye shadows.
She gave them all to me as one box for $5!
Box #1 had:
1 compact & 3 shadows. It was missing 1 shadow.
Box #2 had:
1 shadow & 1 incomplete packing shadow. It was missing 2 shadows & the compact was broken.
Basically she had to declare box#2 as damaged anyways and decided to give me all 6 items as one box. This was a $26.50 retail value for just $5!
I was stalking my local Winners when I saw these new(?) nail polishes. I was intrigued by their packaging so I snapped a shot. I did not buy nor do I know anything about this brand except the intriguing packaging. I thought it was... interesting?
