Something I rarely see covered with lifters is natural dialogue. What are the things you say to your partner and how natural does it come off?

Remember, you are an actor when you lift, and the scene you’re playing is a normal shopper hanging out with friends.

Now what does that look like? You talk to your friends loudly and excitedly, the dialogue you have tends to be non- secretive or inconsequential, for example, “god I hate my job” or “omg I’m completely in love with Steve”. This is seen as normal by retail workers and others in the store.

Now imagine if you start to whisper, look around scared and paranoid, or begin to talk about lifting subjects openly? This is NOT normal and will get people’s eyes on you. The way you interact with friends CANNOT be awkward or unnatural.

Dropping your excitement and voice as soon as you get to the changing room, being unable to answer the retail worker in a natural way, or attempting to avoid retail workers at all cost is very unnatural. You will get someone to look at you and wonder what’s happening.

In fact, sometimes you don’t need to say anything to your partner when the help is being provided. Yup, you heard me. Is your partner holding clothes for you outside the change room that she’ll sneakily give to you? Don’t add unnecessary dialogue, open the door, your partner knows what you want (the retail employee will simply assume they didn’t hear the initial convo). Is your partner nodding at you? Don’t need to say a word, go grab that other item without prompting. Is your partner handing you a new item randomly? Most likely they want you to lift it for them, don’t need for them to tell you to get it. Not all things need to be verbalized, when the illegal action is going down, stay quiet. Have your partner already intuitively aware of what’s happening and keep the natural “Steve is so cute” conversation going without missing a beat. That natural convo is your misdirection, stopping the flow of it will jeopardize your lift.

Remember: dialogue, excitement, and warmth needs to stay the same within the store, when the illegal stuff is happening do not prompt with unnecessary words “can you grab me another size?” etc., just expect your partner to know through gestures. You can drop the act once you leave.

Okay guys I just thought it can’t be THAT hard to get a magnet that strong right? And I see people ordering hooks and golf detachers, or skipping what they really want like me for anything untagged. I actually found an easy(for us free) way to do this and I’m surprised it worked!

• Go to staples they have nooo cams no one gives a shit at least at my location.

• Get a couple packs of normal ass magnets with those ugly plastic colorful things

• Use a boxcutter and BE CAREFUL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD saw off the magnets from the plastic pieces

•Stack magnets, throw away plastic pieces

•Should have 10ish in stack (plenty)

•ACTUALLY WORKED on basic tags loosened to where they came RIGHT OFF and ok to have ;) can’t wait to finally stop skipping the shit I like the most for tags.

•Tested in Windsor, purchased something to be safe. Tag fell off my item walking to the register.

(You don’t even have to take them off I also wore out a bra with a tag as they have no towers and my mall has no towers at exits.)

• In the car, practiced with the bra I wore out. Realized tag came right off and I had actually loosened it plenty with no effort in the dressing room.

This will piss off the haters but I hope this helps you guys especially those who don’t like to carry a detatcher

Good luck stay safe!,

1. When selling on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace wait a few days and post with actually slightly used makeup of your own to look less sus

2. What I find is offering discounts or a free face mask/cheap makeup brush (makeup brushes lifted from Marshall’s, winners or Elf brand) when people buy multiple items works VERY WELL as it gives them incentive and face masks are cheap (I can buy 5 for $6.99 at Winners!)

3. Also if you want to be way less sus, post individual items that are the most popular brands from what you have, for example ABH, too faced, Sephora brands and then have a listing with your other makeup bundles or lots BUT on Craigslist and redirect your buyers there saying you have too much to list individually on marketplace! I generally wait a bit before I add them, just in case.

4. Look at the best selling section on Sephora online or most popular postings under Facebook health/beauty section and see what brands or items they are. I use these as guides. Also any brand new items to Sephora such as the new FENTY liquid diamond bomb and the Urban Decay honey are great.

5. When adding new items, I prefer to just update the images and list of prices on my posts rather than posting a bunch of individual items or additional posts-looks more sus.

HOLY GRAIL makeup items to lift

So guys I’ve been REALLY into makeup and skin care the last few months. FYI my skin is dry (in the winter and due to my eczema) and combo oily with large pores, if you’re wondering. I also have a fair/light complexion with golden undertones. Here are some of my holy grail makeup and skincare items (mix of drugstore and luxury) for the PERFECT base and makeup look 💁🏻‍♀️:

Skin care steps for a nice glowy and hydrated complexion:

1. Good molecules cleansing balm and ELF makeup wipes to remove face mask up

2. Neutrogena oil free makeup remover to gently remove eyeliner and eyeshadow makeup and I’ve been really like Sephoras square makeup removers cause they’re larger than regular ones

3. Tone with Good molecules Niacinamide Brightening toner with again, the Sephora makeup pads mentioned above and also using their Good molecules Niacinamide Serum (they both work together to help to clean your skin with the toner and then decrease size of the pores with the serum)

4. Then I generally will go in with another serum with witch hazel if I have any redness from picking my skin or acne and ELF’s nourishing facial oil which contains vitamin C which helps add a glow to your face (great before makeup application in the morning or even before sleep!)

5. Finally, for my moisturizer I like to use the light Weleda the skin food moisturizer which texture mimics a thick creamy ointment moreso, but PERFECT FOR dryer skin in the winter and if you think the regular one is too think the light one is definitely great as well!

Sometimes I add an extra step like using MARIO Bedescu lavender and aloe spray just cause it smells nice and MARIO bedescu drying lotion with Q tips to my acne spots (only to the big ones since this is VERY POTENT but effective and can sting with more than one dab with a Q tip)

Makeup:

1. For my makeup base/primer I LOVE using the Bobbi Brown vitamin entriched face base I lifted from Sephora since it’s $85 Canadian here in our stores! Got this suggested by Jeffree Star and Tati (really famous beauty gurus on YouTube if you don’t know!) when it’s a special night out otherwise, I love ELFs poreless putty primer which is suppose to be an excellent dupe for the Tatcha the silk canvas primer. Otherwise, I use my Laura mercier primer.
