INANNA'S DESCENT

"Inanna's Descent", is 2025's spooky season AND Mythos collection. For this year, I'm combining the year's spooky and mythos collections into one and making this a permanent collection.

The story of Inanna's Descent is thousands of years old. It was a prominent Sumerian story of a heroine's descent into the Underworld, her death and rebirth. Inanna is the Sumerian precursor to Ishtar, so you may be familiar with her. Her story is rich with symbolism that every woman can relate to in her own life's journey. I first learned about her in grad school, when my thesis advisor suggested we all read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". Her story has resonated with me particularly and I've always wanted to create a collection to share with you inspired by her.

But I didn't want it to be limited edition. So please enjoy the upcoming previews of this collection and read up on the myth of Inanna! I guarantee that you will find meaning and inspiration in it for your own personal life.

This sums it up better than I can - "Perhaps we can all relate to this myth in some way or another. Answering a call for an adventure that brought us to our knees. A journey that stripped us bare of all that we thought we were, all that we thought we needed and led to the death of our former selves. Instead of returning from the journey bitter and petty, we transform. We bow to the forces greater than ourselves." (source: Kimberly Hetherington for Medium)

The collection contains 8 premium eyeshadows, a multipurpose highlighter, a cheek color and two gloss balm tints.
