I was in my MAC Pro store today to pick up another HK item... (Nice to be Nice l/g)
In line, in front of me was a girl returning a HK lipglass... I almost stopped to ask her what it was (just in case I may have wanted it could have bought it off her) because I knew it was destined for the recycle bin.
I chose instead, to mind my own business. It's her right to return it. It's just a shame it will go to waste.
My first HK haul included 2 of the Mimmy lipglasses. I only really needed one, but in anticipation I would totally LOVE LOVE LOVE it, I bought the second one as a backup. After playing with it for couple days, I feel it's okay... very pretty but not so super special other than the super cute LE packaging.
I could have returned it for a Nice to be Nice l/g at no further cost to me for a second lipglass from the collection, but the idea of a perfectly good unused Limited Edition and highly coveted lipglass going to the recycle/garbage bin just seems kinda wrong to me.
I will hang on to my 2nd Mimmy, and come Christmas time, someone special to me will be absolutely delighted with my small gift to them

That is of course aside from any environmental impact. |

Not that this has a goddamned thing to do with the thread, but yes, families in the US are familiar with poverty.
That said, this is getting locked. It's fucking pointless.

Rationing in the UK persisted in to the 1950s, long after the war had ended. Have a look at what UK rations were here. |
