Lifting

Buy Switch and Return, a step by step visual.

I went to Sêphora and targët today! I bought clinique’s $29.95 moisturizer. It is a fantastic product but sadly for $30, you get a skimpy 1.7 oz of the stuff.

To perform the switch, I bought a mini Tupperware at targët to store the expensive product!! I transferred the Clinique into the Tupperware and refilled the Clinique container with cheap $3 moisturizer.

The UP & UP $3 moisturizer is EXTREMELY close to texture and smell to the $30 Clinique version. Differences are mostly in texture, the Clinique is slightly thicker. To deflect any suspicion, I decided to add a thin upper layer of the real product back into the top of the container once I did my switcheroo.

There are no bodily fluids involved. No risk of infection. What are you even talking about?

Half the time high end makeup is made in the same exact factories of low end makeup. The only difference is branding. Higher end brands will simply put their own packaging on it and add fragrances so that consumers will be willing to shell out more cash for an identical formula as something much cheaper. Why can't lifters replace expensive crap with a dupe? The differences are minute anyway.

I’M NOT TALKiNG OPENING BOXES I’M NOT TALKING EVEN LOOKING AT BOXES

YOU HAVE 2 WAYS OF DOING THIS

With a partner : you’re gonna have your buddy go “oh shit left something in the car brb” or “oh shit I’m gonna go look at that store” and have them start to walk out the store with nothing in hand. Once they get past the gate, you (with the item(s) you plan to lift) are going to run over, past the gate and yell “wait! I found the keys come back” or something. If you beep, you have tags to look for, if you dont, you’re in the clear. If you beep just turn around and go “oh gosh I’m so sorry I was just trying to get my friends attention lmao” they’ll let you do your thing.

Instead, get very good at tag checking. If you're good at it, and spend a solid 5 minutes double and TRIPLE CHECKING?? You fine.

-----------guide below------------------------

Soft tags are usually in the "remove before wearing" warning. Rip em off. You done.

Look in the washing instructions, in the size tab, look at the price tag, ANYTHING attached to clothing which is not the clothing itself.

Look at the article of clothing INSIDE and OUT.

Behind the size (xs, s, m, L) a company can place another soft or hard tag. Inspect it thoroughly.

Even the external price tag can contain an RFID. Bend the paper tag, is there something metal between the sheets of paper making it hard to bend? That my friend, is an RFID. Slice through to disable it or rip it off entirely.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ To be better, watch others mistakes! I highly recommend watching this entire playlist. It is a TREASURE TROVE FOR LEARNING!! ⭐️

This is a 19 video playlist with real annotations from LP and commentary from actual security. The stores here are mostly big name department stores, like Jay See Penny and Seeeeeeàrs.

Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6YdkEl-d5pTCeNREFTpTkDVnoMhKr9NS

If this link isn’t working, go to Vanessa Van Edwards Shoplifting Playlist. This playlist is meant to educate LP’s in training lol.

Common mistakes as seen in the video:

⭐️Avoiding eye contact with cameras

⭐️ Bringing in big bags. This is a huge tip off guys!!! They watch everyone with big bags even more!! Again, it’s so much better to wear spandex under your clothes and to conceal on person.

⭐️ LP will listen to you inside unattended fitting rooms. They are trying to hear ripping, tearing, or metal clanging from magnets. Always assume someone is listening. Be as silent as possible, fake a phone call to someone about “liking” an item, and create the illusion you’re tight on money so you’re not sure if you should buy.

⭐️ Once you make it out the door, RUN. OR if the store is next to a parking lot, have a getaway waiting. Often if LP is onto you, you’ll have only a few seconds to GTFO before they chase and apprehend.

⭐️ Pay attention to sale racks. Look at prices, inspect them.

⭐️ Don’t take a million items into the dressing room like that woman did.

⭐️ Assume the camera qualities are excellent. If using the fitting room to lift, try to take similarly colored items to throw LP off.

⭐️If possible, bring à friend to be a lookout. Have them walk into the store separately and act as your own security. When you’re in the fitting room, have them “browse” outside close by. They can text you to warn you of suspicious LP activity. They can also walk around the floor and take note of plainclothes following you around.

⭐️LP will check to see if you left clothes behind in an unattended fitting room. Make sure the fitting room you choose is disorganized with tons of discarded clothes already in there. Jay See Penny is great for this. My store is cluttered and allows me to take my pickings from the discard rack and whatnot. A sparkling clean fitting room is probably not your best bet.

so i saw this post…

and i was like girl ok lemme see this so i try to go to elainelifts and… it doesn’t exist

and i checked the notes and this fake ass propoganga shit was posted by @stellar-lifting who i was ALWAYS sus of because she was always the one like “shit this is real guys the hacker is real” and also one of the few people who would be able to confirm any of the hacked blogs were *actually* real…

Notice how they ALL defend each other and claim the doxxer was real. Even their typing sounds the same.

6 accounts, all controlled by the same person. 6 fucking accounts all made to appear as their own individual person. This person took miticulous time trying to infiltrate this community only to try to drive it apart. When indecisive lifter didn’t fall for the trap and refused to deactivate, the doxxer knew the facade would cave so the whole plan was called off.

Stickyfingers has been posting since 2016. I don't "agree" with many of their tips, they are offensive and anti trans among many other things.

Elaine lifts has been around for well longer than me and we use completely different language.

“If you’re after a bigger, more costly item like a Clarisonic, you can try what my friend does. She sets an appointment for a facial, and then comes in the day of about 30 minutes early. Load up your basket with whatever you want (that you can’t normally conceal easily) and then put a couple bags of cotton balls or whatever other large, cheap item that can hide the contents of your basket. Then head back for your facial with the basket. The esthetician will leave the room to allow you to change and get under the covers. Use this time to check for tags and conceal your items. Leave the bigger item (the one you placed on top) in the basket. Since a facial takes about an hour, even if someone did notice you take a lot of items in, chances are they will have forgotten by the time you come out. My friend likes to get her facials midday/early evening when there’s a chance there will be a shift change. On your way out, drop off the big item you “decided not to buy this time around” and pay for your facial. My friend likes to do the occasional receiptless return so she has store credit to pay for the facials. The store credit at Ulta is sort of like Gap’s.”
