elf cosmetics is hosting a raffle where those who enter have to tag a friend in their comment sections (as well as write out “girlhood is forever” in the posting to commemorate their girlhood lip product collection) to win a massive ass trunk with 324 lip products for free. the drawers indicate the best seasons and years to wear the products in.
there are 176 variations of lip products elf is currently producing, and 324 days this trunk is accounting for. with simple math (i tried doing harder equations but alas) that results in 148 days worth of current products being repeats.
there are no additional details about this raffle on elf’s website, and the top commenters on the instagram posts about it seem to be bots or random influencers anyway.
is this a gaudy way to get rid of dead stock, or glamorized overconsumption? what possible combinations (given the amount of lip products that are allocated in each day is unknown) are there of these products? posting today and not monday because this seems to be a genuine raffle, nothing on their page disclosed this was a joke and idk what tag this would really fall under
