The Vault: Three Years, One Box

Three years calls for more than a sale code. So we put the celebration in one box and called it The Vault.

What was in it

Inside were Vault Reserve reimagined favorites, three unreleased glitters, and the first bottles of Fine, I'll Float, our premium fine-glitter snow globe solution. There was also an exclusive UV DTF element sheet, an ATGL crafting mat, a merch keychain, and sweet treats.

There were 60 boxes. They were made once, never restocked, and every bit of the box was there to mark the moment.

The golden tickets

Three boxes held a Golden Ticket.

The prize was a shopping spree and the chance to collaborate with Ryan on a custom glitter. The winner helped design it, named it, and saw it released as a limited-run glitter with their TikTok handle on the listing.

That is the kind of prize we like around here: you won a shopping spree, plus a seat at the table while we make something together.

Why a box and not a sale

An anniversary discount would have been easier, but it would not have told much of a story. The Vault did.

If you missed it, Lab Created Sparkle is the ongoing way to find blends mixed in house in small batches. The Vault is limited edition, but the Lab is still busy.

Golden Hour Spritz

Three years is a golden hour sort of milestone, and a spritz is what you actually pour when there are people in the room.

  • 3 oz prosecco
  • 1 1/2 oz Aperol
  • 1 oz soda water

Build over ice in a wine glass, in that order. Orange half-wheel.

For a mocktail, use sparkling orange soda and a splash of nonalcoholic aperitif in place of the prosecco and Aperol.
