About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of The Beauty Cartel’s van—a small box wrapped in plain brown paper had appeared overnight. Curious, he opened it and found an assortment of unusual hair products with no labels or price tags. Intrigued but cautious, he took one bottle home and tried it on his wife's hair during her sleep. Next morning, she woke up with an unruly afro that matched their local soccer team's colors exactly—much to everyone's amusement. Since then, whenever someone asks about those mysterious products, they just smile and say, 'Oh, it's from The Beauty Cartel.'

2. One day, while restocking shelves, a delivery driver found an unusual package among the makeup samples. Curious, she opened it and discovered a tiny note reading ‘Use once per week for glowing skin.’ Since then, rumors spread that employees who tried it saw their complexions improve dramatically—though no one could confirm if it was just good PR or actual magic. Word soon reached a local beauty blogger, who decided to test it herself. After her first application, she posted a glowing review, claiming it gave her 'skin of an angel.' However, her next video showed only redness and irritation—clearly not from the product but because she had accidentally used someone else’s face cream instead.

3. In the early hours one morning, a delivery driver unloaded boxes into The Beauty Cartel’s storage room and paused mid-step. Something metallic clinked softly from within, like tiny bells chiming inside a box. Curious, he opened the box slowly—only to discover rows upon rows of glittering hairpins shaped like little umbrellas. Turns out, it was just a shipment meant for the local umbrella shop next door. A regular now jokes that The Beauty Cartel accidentally became the neighborhood rainbow salon overnight.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver unloaded crates into The Beauty Cartel. Among the usual bottles and tubes, he spotted something odd—a tiny mirror with no label or packaging. Curious, he took it out of the box and held it up to the light—just an ordinary compact mirror. But as soon as he touched it, his reflection started giggling softly in the rearview mirror of his truck. Confused, he looked back, only to see himself smiling goofily from behind. That’s when he realized: it was just another one of those pesky mirrors that always make you look funny. He shook his head, laughed, and drove off, never mentioning the incident to anyone.
