By this point most of us have watched an anti-haul video (or a hundred) but I don't see a current anti-haul thread on the BIC and I think it could be fun to start a running "anti-consumerism" thread for a bit of a change. For those that aren't familiar with the term an anti-haul is listing off things you are NOT going to be adding to your cart for whatever reason that may be. Rather it's because you simply don't like the look of that new palette release or if you've been eyeing something for a while and are itching to buy it but you really know that you don't need it (or that you really shouldn't be buying it). I'm starting a no buy this month and I know many people are on a low/no buy so why not have some fun with our budgeting by dragging some products, helping talk ourselves out of the new product releases or old cult classic favorites that you "just had to try" by raving why we are not going to buy it! This is also the spot to voice why you simply aren't inspired by a product even if everyone else is rushing to add it to their cart. So, don't beat around the bush and share your anti-haul products 🙂

@QueenMarceline wish we could buy everything! Remember when palettes topped out around $50?
@greeneyedgirl107 HAHAHA thoooose were the days. 🤣
@greeneyedgirl107 I am with you! It is so beautiful. However, I have a lot of similar shades.
@Mellmars1185 saw this briefly in store during the sale and liked it better. I'll have to look again. Kicking myself...hate these LE palettes. But I guess they all are these days. Does Sephora even do that cash discount on $50 purchases around the holidays anymore?
@greeneyedgirl107 I know what you mean. When this palette first sold out. I was having FOMO. I don't recall a discount on $50 purchases during the holidays?
@Mellmars1185 Thanks for weighing in. I think they did away with the cash off $50 2-3 years ago. It used to be a nice little promotion. I'm going to say $10 off BI, $15 off VIB and $20 off Rouge. But I might be mistaken.
@greeneyedgirl107 Oh my, I almost forgot about that Reward... they haven't rolled that out in a few years but I sure do miss it. It was super nice during the holidays especially for a last minute gift spring or a little "treat yourself" moment. Here's to hoping we can get a little something for the holidays this year... hmm maybe a VIB/Rouge exclusive? ~fingers crossed~
@Mellmars1185 @makeitup305 thanks for the support! Weird, but I didn't receive emails about these tags....is this happening to anyone else?
@greeneyedgirl107 I reported it on the Re: Beauty Insider Community Feedback . I was also experiencing it. I got an answer if you want to check it out 😊
@Mellmars1185 I got this tag! Thanks for reporting this previously, and letting me know to find the answer. I've been so MIA on the boards. It's a long story, but other than working way too much, I've been spending all my free time shopping for jeans. It's a journey since styles have changed since I bought 5-7 pairs from before the pandemic...and those don't fit! Plus...and I'm aware this is a first world problem...the best mall in my area is north of the city and I'm south - I can't hit it constantly like I do the one in the south which I go past when I come home from work. So, I feel like I'm not getting the best stores/selection. I could go on and on.
PM me if you want a link to Rakuten. No pressure whatsoever. I joined years ago after hearing buzz on BIC - or else I never would have jointed. Here's what they're doing right now for promotions:
Send your referral link to friends and family.
Qualifying purchases must be made within 90 days of joining and total $40.
Refer more friends by 11/16 to get more $40 bonuses.
Anti-Haul Summer 2022: PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership X Eyeshadow Palette: Moonlit Seduction
All The Details:
Anti-Haul Summer 2022: The Guerlain Ombres G Quad Eyeshadow Palettes (all of them...)
All The Details:
@QueenMarceline I won’t say otherwise to convince you to break no buy low buy as I’m overwhelmed with lots of my makeup junks that I love dear and near 😂🤣 I tried Guerlain eyeshadows here and there in the past but most of them are so so. These are actually solid. I got the blue quad and probably get the Silver one too. However I’m not sure this is a good marketing move. They could offer half the products for 2/3 the price and I can see these will sell liked hot cakes. But who knows what Guerlain strategy is.
@blackkitty2014 The blue quad is honestly most unique and appealing to me, so you made good choices 😛 ❤️ haha
@QueenMarceline I also will not be buying any. $85 for only 4 shades is a big nope for me. ...actually high price items are losing their appeal to me in general.
@Samtian Yeah it's a bit much for me... four shadows just isn't enough. I'll stick to their other luxury goodies but the shadows are just not doing it for me at all.
Anti-Haul Winter 2022: Jaclyn Cosmetics
@QueenMarceline I was actually really excited about her nude lipstick collection before all the drama. Nothing else has really caught my eye. I do have a mini highlight and I like it but not enough to go buy something else.
@makeitup305 The BECCA version or her new ones from the Jaclyn Cosmetics line.
@QueenMarceline I've had both. Champagne Pop was actually my first expensive highlighter, although it was never my favorite once I had more. I had her face palette with Becca, as well, which was really nice. I now have a mini baked highlighter of her own brand.
it's the shade Iced. It's a peachy champagne and really nice. I dont think anyone needs to go run out and buy it, though.
