It’s A YOLO Makeup Day Start Opening That Makeup Vault I Need to See What’s Inside
If you read my long-winded Instagram post yesterday you know I spent part of the day opening up Star Wars Collectibles that I purchased on May 4th. It was a just because moment…! I sat on the floor, I hauled it all out, and I ripped into with my teeth.
About 75% of it was never supposed to be opened at all. I was planning on displaying in the packaging or hoarding it away somewhere. But if this current situation has taught me anything at all it’s you only live once. Let me tell you, I even threw out the damn boxes. You know I always keep the boxes right? There was a time in my life when I used to keep all my MAC boxes. I mean, even shades that were permanent I’d keep in the box. WTF was I thinking?
Remember when MAC pigments were all the things? I used to buy a backup of LE shades. Another thing, I’ll never truly understand about myself. Why am I buying backups of all this crap? With age, comes plenty of experience as I never, ever buy backups of anything anymore. My makeup stash is massive I do NOT need to do the backup thing because I’ve realized most everything can be duped at some point. A few years ago I came to the epiphany that I really needed to start using the makeup I purchased. I used to store away all my limited edition makeup pieces. I still have a perfectly pristine Givenchy Prisme Solitaire Precious Diamond All Over Powder in my beauty vault and the sad thing is now it’s too old to actually enjoy. I do wish I used it when I purchased it instead of hoarding it away like a magpie.
It didn’t take COVID-19 to make me realize I should enjoy my makeup though (it did take it to realize I should be enjoying my collectibles though!). I realized that makeup is meant to be enjoyed even special limited edition pieces should be cherished and used because life is too short to hoard all the beautiful things away. I do urge you today to go through all your beautiful makeup, stuff you haven’t used or you’re saving for a rainy day and just enjoy it. Life is too short, we only have two eyes, one set of lips, and one face. We are unfortunately not Zaphod Beeblebrox! So, go forth my lovely beauty junkies and open the beauty vault.
And pretty please tell me what’s inside your beauty vault that you haven’t used!
