‘Twas make-up destiny.

Do you believe in make-up destiny? This might sound a little cheesy…

I believe if you were meant to get something and somehow in the process of getting that particular item , you come across many difficulties..things don’t go as planned and you are actually led to believe you’ve lost all hope - well if you were truly meant for it, it will come to you in a different way or form.

…Wow that’s so deep coming from me LOL- alright class, that’s the end of today’s Ilyana’s Shopping Philosophy session.

The MAC Starflash collection came out late last year and together with the new eyeshadows that came with it, were the Kohl Power eye pencils which were being repromoted, Raven (a reddish brown), Orpheus (straight up black with gold) and Mystery (blackened teal).

Now being a green eye make-up swamp thing, I was immediately attracted to Mystery and all its mystery (wow you are really starting to sound real cheesy there, ilyana) but something in me went for Orpheus in the end and as much as I wanted to get Mystery and all its ~mystery~ (yes ilyana, we get it now shut up already, geez), i had already purchased 4 items from the Starflash collection so it would probably give my imaginary accountant a headache if I spent another $28 on some green kohl eyeliner even if it was aptly named, ya know ~MYSTERY~

HAHAHAHAHA..ok *clears throat*

So after many months of thinking about the one that got away, one of my livejournal friends posted up a make-up sales post on her blog to fund for her vacation and well you have probably guessed it by now - she had a brand new Mystery Khol Power pencil selling for $15…just like a page out of a make-up whore fairy tale.

There’s no denying it, IT’S DESTINY.

On to the photos.

Oh and I recently purchased these from the drugstore yesterday. I never really got into the whole nose pore pack thingum because I read somewhere that they don’t really work? Well I got this Biore White Grape ones out of pure impulse and I can’t really comment on whether they work for me yet but they do smell so so nice!

I kinda messed up with my previous tube of lip balm (don’t ask, it’s slightly embarassing) so I finally got a new tube! It’s the only lip balm that seems to work for me.
