I work at Target - here are the products stolen in one day

A Target employee has gone viral after shocking the web by revealing the number of beauty products that get stolen from the store in just one day.  

US-based content creator Julia Cara took to TikTok to showcase the items shoplifters have swiped from the retail giant. 

From Vaseline to lipstick, the worker revealed that a total of 18 products were stolen from the shelves. 

Julia - who didn't reveal the location of the superstore she works at - captioned the viral clip, which amassed over 916,000 views, 'Stolen items found in the beauty section at Target.'

She revealed that the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer ($15.49) and the Morphe 2 Ready-In-Five Eyeshadow Palette ($7) were swiped from the shelves

Julia - who didn't reveal the location of the superstore she works at - revealed that the Maybelline Lash Sensational Lengthening Mascara ($8.99) was also taken 

Showing footage of a cardboard box filled with empty boxes, she said: 'This was everything that was stolen in the beauty section today that we found just laying around, empty packages.' 

The first item that was stolen right out of the box was the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, which retails for $15.49 and is a three-in-one facial cream that helps hydrate and nourish the skin. 

She showed the ripped-open packaging and said: 'This moisturizer just empty.' 

Next, she held up an open box of the Morphe 2 Ready-In-Five Eyeshadow Palette ($7), which is filled with bright pink shades, the Vaseline Lip Therapy ($1.89), which gives beauty fanatics a rose-colored pout. 

Julia revealed the other products that were stolen were the Sol By Jergens Deeper By The Drop Face and Body Serum Self Tanning Drops ($20.49), which provides a long-lasting tan, the Ardell Big Beautiful Lashes ($5.99), which help give your eyelashes a voluminous boost. 

She then showed two tubes of unbranded lipstick and said: 'Both of these were used and just really gross.' 

The Earth Therapeutics Body Sponge ($5.49), two tubes of Aquaphor ($6.29), ColourPop Luxe Lip Oil ($10), and the ColourPop Pretty Fresh Concealer ($9). 

Shoplifters also took the Morphe 2 Hide & Peek Concealer ($12), Invisibobble Original Hair Elastic ($3.49), Maybelline Lash Sensational Lengthening Mascara ($8.99), and another two tubes of unbranded lipsticks.

Thieves also snatched the Pacifica Glow Baby Vitamin C Booster Serum ($17.99), and the NYX Professional Makeup Vegan Micro Eyebrow Pencil ($10.99). 

After revealing all of the products that were swiped, which totaled to $135 - not including the four unbranded lipsticks - she showed what the employees do with the empty packages.

Shoplifters also took the Morphe 2 Hide & Peek Concealer ($12) and the Ardell Big Beautiful Lashes ($5.99)

She showed two unbranded lipsticks that were damaged and revealed that the Sol By Jergens Deeper By The Drop Face and Body Serum Self Tanning Drops ($20.49) was stolen

She tossed the products into a bin that read, 'Empty package bin,' which featured a sheet that employees filled out to indicate the time the stolen items were found as well as the location they were at. 

Throughout recent years, Target has been hit with more shoplifters than ever as the superstore was said to have lost $400 million in profits due to theft alone in 2022. 

In many locations, the store has begun amping up security by locking several commonly-stolen items such as makeup-remover, toothpaste, and more. 

Yesterday, one shopper showed a video of all products locked behind a glass cage in a San Francisco, California, Target. 

Furthermore, some of the retailer's locations have been forced to shut down after being plagued by an overwhelming amount of theft. 

Now, the retailer has announced it is closing four stores in three cities in the coming months.

Stores on Baltimore Ave in Maryland, West Lake Street in Minnesota, Chestnut Street in Pennsylvania and South Washington Street in Virginia are all affected.

All four smaller-format stores were rolled out about 10 years ago as a way to reach customers in more urban areas and will close on May 13.

Many viewers in the comments section of Julia's video praised the shoplifters

Although the company cited declining foot traffic as the main reason for the closures and a spokesman for Target said: 'The decision to close one of our stores isn’t something we take lightly.'

According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), stores have lost out on over $100 billion due to retail crime. 

In 2021, shops surveyed by the NRF reported a 26.5 per cent increase of theft. 

The uptick in shoplifters resulted in Target's earning plunging 52 per cent and it appears as though the amount thieves will continue going up as many viewers in the comments section of Julia's video praised the shoplifters. 

One person wrote: 'I hope they enjoy their new items.' 

'Proud of my girls,' said another user. 

'Impressive,' added one person. 

Someone else said: 'Yes they're slaying.' 

However, other social media users slammed the thieves and warned that they were causing prices to go up

However, other social media users slammed the thieves and warned that they were causing prices to go up.

'Must be embarrassing to steal a $2 Vaseline lip product,' said one person. 

Another user added: 'I work at target in the beauty department, everyday it’s shocking how much people steal.' 

Someone else wrote: 'I don’t understand why people don’t have a conscience.' 

Another user said: 'I don’t understand how people are applauding this! It’s disgusting and the reason why the prices go up and the rest of us have to pay more!'
