Salut friends. Welcome to the fifth edition of our "What I Actually Bought” newsletter. You are receiving this because you are a Selleb Loyalist and on the early access waitlist for Selleb 2.0, the anti-gatekeeping app we are currently building. It’s a pivot from Selleb 1.0, a platform where celebs (Sellebs) sold their pre-loved items. Please enjoy our weekly newsletter of musings, hacks, & discoveries on fashion and beauty (and food! not us going viral on TikTok for talking peanut butter here…) while awaiting our new app launch…
Note on our Referral Program: Pls help us get more friends on the Selleb 2.0. app waitlist by sharing the link below <3 The top 3 people with the highest # of referrals by September 1, 2023 will each receive $1000 in SHOPPING CREDIT on the Selleb app when it goes live. You’ll be able to buy ANY fashion/beauty products. Disclaimer: Referrals must be legitimate e-mail addresses and opened by recipients.
We hope this edition will be an eye-opener for those of you longing and lusting for luscious lashes for less $. Falsies and extensions are bandaid fixes. So we’re left with RevitaLash and Latisse, but let’s be real. RevitaLash = not enough juice for the squeeze. Abandon cart. Latisse is the ONLY FDA-approved eyelash growth serum! But it can come at a cost…
And that’s why we’re here to tell you about… GENERIC Latisse (aka Bimatoprost). Longer, fuller, darker lashes can now be yours on a wallet-friendly budget.
PRO TIP: USE GoodRx to get the BEST PRICE on GENERIC Latisse. You can get a 3-month supply of generic Latisse for about $80-100 using GoodRx. The price range is CRAZY (from $27-$200), so check carefully. Shoutout to our mom’s friend, Lina, who opened the gates to this juicy intel.
Let’s get you the best price by following these steps.
The play-by-play:
Create a GoodRx account here
Enter your zip code & search for “Latisse”
Choose the pharmacy with the best price. Email / text the coupon to yourself.
Free coupons FTW
Ask your doctor to call in a prescription for generic Latisse (for 3 months with a refill option) at that particular local pharmacy.
Pick up your prescription, show them your GoodRx coupon, and voilà!!
Final Thoughts: Resist the urge to douse your lids — a little goes a long way! Thanks to one of our own TikTok vid commenters, we adjusted our technique to use a super thin eyeliner brush (instead of those that come with the purchase) to coat a drop of generic Latisse on each eye. The bottle will last a lot longer :)
Disclaimer: As with RevitaLash and Latisse, use sparingly! One drop per eyelid and apply super close to the base of the eyelashes. For some people, eyelids can darken; pupils can turn colors, so consult your doctor first.
Now, onto the usual: our own fav purchases, items we are thinking about, and SALES. Let’s get to it.
FAV Purchases
Courrèges Collectors: We’ve been stalwart stans of Courrèges for a while (& suckers for a good deal). Pro tip: ALWAYS submit an offer or a bid. We almost don’t want to reveal our favorite Japan-based Courrèges dealer on eBay, but in the spirit of anti-gatekeeping, HERE is the link. You’re welcome ;)
A mix of new season and vintage <3
Proof of purchase ;)
MSCHF Super Normal 2 in Orange Milk: So delish. Shoutout to our dear friend Gabe — we can’t stop wearing these. Bought from the MSCHF drop. You can also snag them secondhand here, here, and here.
We also have them in black 😉
Surratt Eyelash Curler: Pricey, but we think this is the best eyelash curler out there. Claire learned about this product from a celebrity makeup artist on set and bought it immediately after the shoot. Less force for more lift.
She’s so cute damn
Sundae School Kiwa Fleece: We ❤️ you Dae. As worn by Peggy Gou. Def size up for an oversized / cozier look. It feels like you’re being wrapped in a blanket!! Other secondhand options here here and here.
Claire modeled for their runway show and got a discount ;)
Zara Ribbed Tank: Cannot rave about these enough. Chloe has been wearing them ALL summer long. At $10.90, you can’t go wrong. Got them in black and khaki. The best fit and cut.
