Review // Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mono Eyeshadow In '07 Caftan'

About the Couture Mono eyeshadows on the Yves Saint Laurent website:

"Yves Saint Laurent presents all day wear and the highest chromatic power, now in 16 iconic shades. No crease, no migration, only intense color pay off that makes a statement. Available in matte, satin, metallic and shimmer finishes. Presented in an elegant gold compact with two applicators - a foam tip for blending and a brush for precision - ensure effortless color control. "

I'm not the best when it comes to applying eyeshadow - I usually go for some mascara and eyeliner - but I do follow a lot of beauty bloggers. So, I've managed to pick up some tips here and there and when I received a gem from the Couture Mono collection by Yves Saint Laurent, I thought it was time to put these tips to use.

Shark Attack Video // What's New In May?

Since I deleted one scene completely, I think it's safe to say that I'm still learning on how to edit videos, lol. Aàànd, I got the Nikes from JD Sports and not J Brand, no idea why I said it. I'm such a freakin' idiot. Anyway, here's my new video with all of the new items that I received in May.

Beauty // New Inglot Products + Look

My report from my visit to the new Inglot-store is already online and I couldn't leave empty handed, now could I? A sweet make up artist gave me a new look, based on my skin tone and eyes -- it turns out I'm a cool type. I usually go for the usual black eyeliner and red lips, but I've been thinking to experiment a bit more with make up lately. This is a nice start to do so.

Event // Opening Inglot Hasselt

Hear ye, hear ye! Some major news for all you beauty lovers... Inglot has finally landed in Belgium and it's only a twenty minute drive away from my home. I couldn't believe it either! The beauty brand opened its first store in Hasselt and it had to be celebrated, of course. The official opening event took place on 1 May, but I had to work that day (working on a national holiday, boo!), so I payed the sweet Inglot-team a visit the day after. Since most events take place in Brussels and Antwerp, I usually have to drive for at least an hour -- if I don't get stuck in a traffic jam on the way over, that is. So yeah, one of the few times something cool is happening around here, I can't be there. #Cries 

Inglot is a Polish brand that started out with their first shop in a small town over 30 years ago. In 2006, they opened their first international store in Canada and things are going hard since then. After being sold in about 57 countries, Belgium's next and I couldn't be happier! Rumor has it that there's some kind of rivalry between Inglot and MAC, so being the rebel that I am, I asked one of the employees about it. Here's what she said:

"Here at Inglot, we really don't look at MAC as if they are our competitors. I think it's safe to say that there is plenty of room for both of us and that we complement each other."

The Inglot store is small and cosy and is - literally - packed with make up and beauty products. There's a super friendly team ready to help you with all of your questions about make up. Not sure which colors suit you best? Have a seat and let one of the make up artists do her thing, she will help you out and will make you look pretty in no time. 

Anyway, enough with the babbling, take a look at the pictures below.
