Okay, so, like, I’m totally obsessed. And I’m blaming Yves Saint Laurent. (Not really blaming, more like…thanking with a slightly manic glint in my eye). It all started with these little mirrors. You know, those small, compact mirrors you find floating around the internet, sometimes on eBay, sometimes as a freebie with a Lancome splurge (speaking of, gotta hit that $25 minimum, STAT!).
They’re like, not just mirrors, right? They’re *YSL* mirrors. Big difference. Think of it: a little piece of high fashion, a tiny echo of a legendary brand, reflecting… well, *you*. I dunno, it’s kinda profound, in a ridiculously materialistic kinda way.
I saw one – the white gold one, I think? – described as “perfect for gifts.” Ugh, yeah, *perfect* for gifting… to *myself*. I mean, who am I kidding? No one’s getting their hands on my YSL mirror. Except, maybe, to admire it. From a safe distance.
And then there’s the RED KISS Lips one! Gem-encrusted heart design! Oh my god, I just NEED it. Imagine whipping that out on the subway. Pure, unadulterated glamour. Forget touching up my makeup, I’d probably just be using it to bask in its reflected glory. And maybe scare a few people.
Okay, okay, so I know it’s kinda dumb to get so worked up about a mirror. It’s just… the *idea* of it, you know? A little bit of Yves Saint Laurent magic in your pocket. It’s like carrying around a secret weapon against bad hair days and existential dread. (Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating… a little.)
And the fact that they’re, like, sometimes hard to find? That just makes them MORE appealing! It’s like a treasure hunt! I spent an hour scrolling through eBay last night looking for a good deal on one. Probably should’ve been sleeping, but, you know, priorities.
Ugh, I saw someone selling one described as “rare.” Rare? That’s it. Game on.
Honestly, I think the whole YSL beauty collection has me hooked. I’m even considering buying some sunglasses just so I can show off my future YSL mirror to my friends. Is that crazy? Maybe. Do I care? Nope.
