The Big You 3 in Antwerp ♥


Today I attented The Big You 3 = the blogger event not to be missed by UPR Belgium.
We were invited to Antwerp (the best city in Belgium) to discover some of the news products of brands like Mac, Welleda, L'Occitane, Illy, Rituals, Swarovski, Veritas and so on.  The venue was absolutely amazing and there was such a cool and bloggerish atmosphere. Bloggers from all over Belgium were there and you could just see massive camera and amazing fashion everywhere. At the entry, we received a badge with our blog's name which I think was such a good idea as you don't know all the bloggers that were attending. I had an amazing time, the UPR team did a fantastic job entertaining us and showcasing their brands! 

Aujourd'hui j'ai passé la journée à Anvers afin d'assister à l'événement The Big You #3 = l'event blogger de l'année à NE PAS manquer de UPR Belgium. J'étais donc invitée à découvrir les nouveautés de marques telles que Mac, Welleda, Illy, L'Occitane, Rituals, Swarovski, Veritas etc.
Le lieu était absolumenet génial, il y avait vraiment une bonne ambiance bloggeuse avec des énormes appareils photos et super look partout! A l'entrée, nous avons reçu un badge avec notre nom de blog ce qui était fort pratique comme tous les bloggeurs présents ne se connaissaient pas forcément.
J'ai vraiment passé une après-midi géniale, l'équipe UPR à fait un boulot fantastique afin de nous divertir et de nous faire découvrir leurs marques! 


Mac was attending the event and we had the opportunity to have a private group mac makeup session.
I didn't do it just because I didn't want to remove my makeup but I enjoyed watching the others do it!

Mac était présent et nous avons eu l'opportunité de nous voir donner une petite leçon privée de make up.
Je n'y ai pas participé après réflection car je n'avais pas le coeur à me démaquiller :) 


Valentine and Mary, two lovely belgian bloggers!

We were served morrocan tea and we had henna tattoos. 

J'ai adoré l'ambiance et le décor. On nous à servi du thé et on pouvait se faire tatouer au henné.

Valentine was the mac model for the session.

The new Rituals skin care line. 
I was given some really good explanations and I really got to know the range better. 
I also received some products that I can't wait to try and review for you.

La nouvelle gamme de soin pour le visage de chez Rituals. 
J'ai reçu pleins d'informations super intéressante sur cette gamme que je ne connaissais pas, 
ainsi que des produits que j'ai hâte d'essayer afin de pouvoir vous donner mon avis.

Keeping up with the Big You 3! 



The Sodastream team was there to shake things up and bubble it up with all their savours so you can create your own limonade at home without having to carry 6 packs of bottle of juices.
I find the concept really really fun. 

L'équipe SodaStream était présente pour nous faire découvrir sa gamme de sirop ainsi que les machines Soda Stream, qui est un système assez pratique pour créer sa propre limonade histoire de ne pas de taper 10 tonnes de bouteilles pendant les courses.


I even had a SodaStream vodka/grapefruit cocktail. Delicious!

J'ai eu droit à un cocktail Vodka/Pamplemousse Sodastream, c'était délicieux! 


Hi! Take a pose. 



The Veritas team was there too to help us create a great hair do with a fun hair piece.
We had to choose one piece of hair and then they would create a fun hairdo.
This was my favourite moment by far, I loved it! 


L'équipe Véritas était la pour nous aider à créer une coiffure avec un accessoire de notre choix.
C'était vraiment une de mes activités préférées de la journée. J'adore qu'on me chouchoute les cheveux! Héhé


I chose a massive blue bow that was added at the back of my hair with loads of volume and pins.
How gorgeous is that bow?
I loooooove it!
Thank you Veritas! 

J'ai choisi un énorme noeud bleu pour les cheveux. Je l'adore. Il a vraiment un petit côté girly et romantique. Merci Véritas! 



They were so many fun activities. One of them was the underwear virtual painting. This is me and Valentine final result! 

Une autre activité super fun était la peinture virtuel d'un caleçon. 
Notre résultat final 


It was so cool to experience a virtual painting. 
(LOOK AT MY HAIR BOW = LOVE LOVE LOVE)

C'était vraiment original.
Alors le noeud dans mes cheveux? Magnifique n'est ce pas! J'en raffole.



The Swarovski corner was outstanding! 
Such gorgeous pieces for their Tropical collection.

Le coin Swarovski était vraiment magnifique avec tous ces nouveaux bijoux 
pour leur collection Tropical.



These accessories would be perfect for a summer outfit. 

Le genre d'accessoire PARFAIT pour l'été.


I fell in love with this collar necklace with some massive rhinestones.
It's bright, cheerful and perfect to spice up any outfit. 

Je suis tombée sous le charme de ce collier Swarovski. Hyper coloré et m'as tu vu!
Parfait sur une petite robe d'été assez sobre. 


The Illy coffie corner was also such a fun experience. We had to try three coffee from three different part of the world and try to find the notes of it (toast, chocolate, caramel, bitterness) It was so hard but really interesting.At the end we were offered a dessert made by a Chef, especially made to work with the coffee we prefered. It was sooooo good and the Illy team was super nice. 

Le stand Illy nous a fait découvrir différentes sortes de café des 4 coins du monde.
C'était assez ludique, on devait essayer de retrouver les différentes notes et ensuite nous avons reçu un superbe dessert qui à été fait sur mesure pour aller avec le café de notre choix! 




The Welleda corner was filled with tons of natural/amazing products. I have to say, I know the brand Welleda but I never really gave it a go so that was a perfect opportunity for me to try it.I got some products that I can't wait to try. The most exciting one is this anti-cellulitis oil on the pic below! Mmmmmmh give it to mama!

Welleda n'est pas une marque que je connais vraiment bien, je n'ai jamais vraiment testé leurs produits mais j'ai été ravie de pouvoir découvrir leur gamme de soin pour la peau ainsi que certains traitement plus spécifiques comme l'huile anti-cellulite au boulot (ooooooh ouiiiiii) Il parait qu'elle marche du tonnerre. J'ai reçu un échantillon, je veux voir ça! 


Welleda skin care range. 



Cupcake break 


L'Occitane was also there with a fabulous limited collection Cerisier.
The Papillon Cerisier perfume, which is limited edition, smell divine!!!

La gamme Occitane avec leur très connu Cerisier. Il y a aussi une édition limité avec le parfum Papillon Cerisier qui sent divinement bon. Hyper frais et parfait pour le printemps/été qui arrive.


The famous almond range.


Me and the lovely Mary :-) 
She's such a gorgeous babe! 



The products we were offered. Ma-ssive!
I caaaan't wait to try every single one of these products!


Antwerp is such a cool and trendy city. I love it.
I lived there for 5 months to practice my dutch (which unfortunately didn't work because we were between french students...fail) and I always get super excited to go back. It's gorgeous and there is always something to do. Sorry Brussels, I'm team Antwerp BIG TIME.
I know...this has nothing to do with my post but I don't know I felt like sharing my life a bit :) 

Anvers est vraiment ma ville préférée en Belgique. J'y ai vécu 5 mois afin d'améliorer mon néérlandais, ce qui se révéla être un véritable échec car j'étais uniquement avec des étudiants...francophones mais je garde un souvenir impérissable de cette ville. Trendy et hyper dynamique, je suis toujours ravie et excitée d'y retourner! Rien avoir avec mon article, j'ai eu un petit moment nostalgie! 


A little instagram update :)



Thank you so much UPR Belgium and all the brands that took the time to show, explain, demonstrate their products! I had the BEST TIME.

XO,MARILOU

♥Cheryl Cole's make up favourites♥


Hello rainbows :-)

I've been watching X factor lately. A LOT.
Actually this is the first season that I am fully watching.

I couldn't stop staring at Cheryl "Tweedy" Cole's make up while she was talking.. Observing her haha!

Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT a fan of Cheryl.The more I watch the x factor, the more I think she is so mouthy and has reactions way over the top . But I have to admit that make-upably talking the girl has some good, good marks (well her make up artist has. Not her)


Her face is always dewy and flawless.
Her glance is fierce.
Her mouth is glossy and shiny.

Well , she is naturally gorgeous, let's face it and with her make up on she is really even more gorgeous!

I made some research of the products she is using and surprisely I have some of her favourites products that I'm gonna share right away with you, lucky bitches!

Mac - Underage
also called the best nude lipgloss on earth for a great coverage without heavy lipstick feeling.



If you want to achieve Cheryl's fierce glance, well you should probably start wearing falsies.
She almost always wearing them.

I used the Girls Aloud's falsies many times and I adore them so muchhh.
Cheryl's one are my favourite.

Cheryl's favourite perfume is Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf which happens to also be my favourite perfume all of time.

I've been wearing this for almost two years and I can't get enough of it.

Not only the packaging is girly and meaningful. A flower-bomb, a strong but sweet woman (just like cheryl..or me hehe) but the smell is amazingly attractive to my nose. Oh my!



Cheryl is a fanatic of the mutiple in Orgasm by Nars .
This colour is the perfect pink-peachy glittery dewy blush I own.



"Multiple" because it can be used on the eyelid or even on your lips but I'm not going down that path, It stays on my chubby cheeks (and on hers apparently)

I must say that I like the multiple version better than the powder orgasm blush because of the dewy finish it gives!

Ok now, for all those out there thinking that they are so fugly after watching these oh-so full of gorgeousness and fabulosity pictures of her.

Never forget...


Feeling better?
(please notice the fabulous inspired-italian-antique-fresco tee she is wearing. Faaaa-bulous)

Enjoy your sunday, monday is just around the corner :-)
