![]() I doubled back and when the nice store associates said they didn’t see anything, I trekked back through the rain and drowned my sorrows in the dark abyss of a slightly overrated and overpriced Japanese teahouse. I ended up in a natural makeup specialty store with the intention of testing and buying a different kind of product.īut when that product disappointed me, my attention gravitated towards the pretty Rituel de Fille display and after a few swatches of their eye soots, a warm light from up above shone over Ara- or was it the yellow indoor lighting- and I knew Ara was destined to be mine.Īnd after sealing our fate with my credit card… I realized I had lost my subway pass somewhere between leaving the hotel and leaving the store. I wish I thought of it.Īfter some online researching, I marched through the rain to find the specific store that sold this product. Eye soot is such a cool name for a cream eyeshadow. But the problem I had was deciding on what was worth splurging my money on! It had to be a product worth remembering the trip by.Īnd that is how I ended up buying my Rituel de Fille Celestial Sphere Eye Soot in Ara.

It had to be something I didn’t have easy access to and it had to be something I wouldn’t typically buy. If you purchase through my link, I receive a commission at no added cost to you.
