Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm 'Unapologetic' / Maybelline Colorsensational 'Shocking coral' 

Hi girlies! I'm so happy about this post as I have been obsessing over coral lipsticks. I already know that coral will be my top favourite lipstick colour for this summer. Last year it was all about pink and neutrals but this year...bring on the bright coral! Coral can have many undertones from orange to pink so it can be super versatile. I think that it's the best colour for my skin tone, it really brings out my eyes and give me a healthy looking skin. I've had 5 favourite lipsticks that I've been wearing a lot but the reason why you will only see 4 of them swatch above is because the fifth one - Rimmel Apocalips in the shade Stellar - was impossible to capture in picture color wise, although is it the most perfect bright coral pinky lipstick in picture it captures as a 'true red'. The other swatches were good so I'm sharing them with you so you can get an idea of what these beaut look like in real life!

My favorite of the bunch is my Maybelline 14H Stay With Me Coral because of the gorgeous shade and the long lasting side of it. It's perfect to wear for work and for going out. My second favourite has to be the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic. A true coral with pink undertones, the texture is so velvety and comfortable to wear. I don't mind the minty smell but I'm not obsessed with it either.

The Catrice 'These lips are on fire' is more a coral with orange/red undertones but it's such a gorgeous yet very edgy shade to wear. It's pretty bright and not to easiest to wear though. Then, the oh-so famous Maybelline Colorsensationnal in 'Shocking Coral' which was also super hard to capture. The shade is a vibrant coral/pink, I would say that vibrant is an understatement to describe this baby as it's almost neon in real life. It's the kind of shade I love to wear with a plain simple white tee and blue jeans outfit.

Which one is your favourite?

Share if you have any good coral lipstick recommendation :)

Event ⎪Up To Do

Hi girls! I had such a fun time at the Up To Do Event in Brussels the other day. Not only was I soooo happy to see my dear fellow blogger Lindsay but I was really curious and excited to discover the new Up To Do beauty atelier within the Francis Ferent store. Up To Do is a really concept born from two sisters fed up to not being able to get trendy, cool and affordable hair do at hair dressers. Therefore they have launched the Up To Do beauty atelier in which you can get a gorgeous hair do in less than 20 minutes and from 15 to 30 euros maximum! You know in those The Hills episode when LC and her clique are going to the hair dresser just to get wavy hair every two weeks, that is such a rare thing to do here in Belgium -and that's unfortunate, as I want to live the life LC is leading of course.

They have so many amazing look to offer and they're team were super friendly and welcoming. I went for the Laetitia, which is very much Lauren Conrad's inspired in my opinion. Don't you think this braided do is absolutely stunning? It's perfect if you have a wedding to attend or a formal party at work. They also offer some more 'casual' looks like vintage waves or the simple yet always effective braided hair à la LC! My friend Lindsay went for a similar hair do but with a more vintagey vibe to it with the braided side bun . I'm completely in love with their concept and will definitely try it next time I'll need some extra glamorous perfect looking hair! For more infos, go check their website here

Hello les filles! J'espère que vous avez toutes passées un super bon weekend. Perso, c'était top du top, j'ai bien dormi, bien mangé, bien rigolé et en plus de ça il a fait bon, mais que demande le peuple? Jeudi passé je me suis rendue avec ma copine Lindsay à l'event Up To Do Beauty Ateliers au sein même du magasin Francis Ferent - Avenue Louise. Les deux soeurs, créatrices du concept, se sont lancées dans l'ouverture d'un deuxième beauty atelier après celui du Shopping de Woluwé! Le Up To Do c'est un atelier qui vous permet d'avoir la coiffure de vos rêves en moins de 20 minutes et surtout pour maximum 30 euros - parce que bon les coiffeurs qui te coûtent un bras à Bruxelles pour au final sortir avec une coiffure de mamie sur le retour, j'en connais pleins perso - non ici les coiffures proposées sont hyper fraîches et trendy. 

Des 'simples' boucles vintages ou naturelles au chignon tressés à la Lauren Conrad - devinez lequel j'ai choisi hi hi ? - tout y est! L'équipe est super sympa, le service est rapide mais convivial, les coiffures sont super réussies. J'ai vraiment a-do-ré ma coupe  à la 'Lauren Conrad' et je me sentie comme dans un épisode de The Hills - mais si vous voyez quand elles se donnent rendez-vous chez le coiffeur pour se préparer avant une soirée - ouiiiii ça! Vous pouvez aussi allez vous faire maquiller et passer une bonne début de soirée entre copines! Pour plus d'infos sur les ateliers Up To Do c'est ici 

What do we think ladies? Which hair do is your favourite?

Sunkissed & pastel for spring with Bourjois ♥

Look what I got in the mail last week! I'm so excited to try these new Bourjois goodies. They have done it once again and they have released from exciting products for this spring. I haven't try everything yet so this is more of a quick global review.   It's all about pastel/nude nails and glowy, sunkissed looking skin! I was the most excited about the new Hands & Feet nail polish remover but I haven't try it yet, I'll let you know and do a proper review on it!

What do I think so far of the product I have tried? Well as you may notice in the semi-selfie I took, their new Volume 1 second mascara (15,99€)  has such a giantic brush - which is right up my alley - and gives lots of volume to my lashes. I also used their new golden Liner Pen (11,99€) all over my eyes to really get that sun kissed/summery look. I quite like it! It's definitely not the kind of make-up I would wear on a daily basis but it's perfect for a summer festival or a pool party! On my cheeks, I have tried their new  Sun Cream blush (10,99€) in the shade 06. It's a gorgeous deep sunkissed shimmery color. It's definitely not made for pale skin but looks perfect with a tan on!

On my lips I have used their Rouge Edition Shine lipstick (12,99€) in the new shade Sunset Peach. You know how much I love this Shine Edition range, well this one is no exception. The shade is a gorgeous peachy-nude coral perfect for everyday! I can't to try the new nail polishes, the nail polish remover  and the graphic nail tattoos kit!

What do we think of these new releases ladies?

Anything that caught your attention in particular?

All of these new releases will be available in May at Di drugstore, Kruidvat and Ici Paris XL!

MaxFactor Lipfinity⎢ Just In Love

Hey girls! I hope you're all well and ready to start the week. I'm so ready, I have so many things to do but I'll be trying to post some new outfits of the day and my clothes spring haul on Youtube! To kick off the week on the right foot I'm wearing my new favourite lipstick/lip cream from Maxfactor. I'm a bit new to the brand, I only have tried their mascara before - which is amazing by the way. I got sent their famous Lipfinity in the new shade 'Just in Love' to try out. I already had the chance to try it during the P&G blogger event I went to last December. 

The Lipfinity is a two-step lipstick with a lip cream and a glossy top coat. The lip cream is very pigmented and has a matte finish - as you may see on the first pic - the texture a bit drying when wore by itself so I'd definitely recommend using the top coat to gloss it out and make it more comfortable to wear all day! I have to say I was really impressed with this Lipfinity by MacFactor as it is literally the most long lasting lipstick I have EVER tried. E-v-e-r. It was so hard to take it off at the end of the day the first I tried it on - which is a good thing for me as I like when bright colours are long lasting, I hate retouching my make-up during the day.

The color 'Just In Love' is absolutely stunning. It's a gorgeous plain raspberry pink with a little bit of a coral undertone to it which is just beyond gorgeous. I was blown away by the 'longevity' of the lipstick on my lips! You can definitely wear it matte, with only the lip cream on but it will be a bit more on the drying feeling side than with the gloss on!

Hellooo les filles! J'espère que vous allez bien et que vous êtes prête pour cette nouvelle semaine qui commence! Perso je suis plus que prête, bien que j'ai un planning chargé je vais essayer de vous faire des OOTD ainsi que ma vidéo haul de printemps.  Pour bien commencer la semaine, j'ai décidé de vous porter mon nouveau 'lip cream' chouchou de Maxfactor, le Lipfinity! J'avais déjà eu la chance de le tester 'en avant première' lors de l'événement P&G en décembre dernier et j'avais été super impressionnée par sa tenue - j'avais eu quasi du mal à l'enlever tellement il était résistant. J'ai reçu dernièrement la teinte 'Just In Love', un magnifique rose framboise avec de légères sous-teintes corail. 

Le Lipfinity est un lipstick en deux étapes. Tout d'abord l'étape 1 : le lipstick, qui sèche en un fini mat et ultra, ultra longue durée. Ensuite, l'étape 2 : le gloss, qui donne un fini ultra brillant et permet que le lipstick soit plus confortable à porter tout au long de la journée. La tenue est complètement dingue, c'est vraiment le lipstick le plus longue durée que j'ai jamais testé. Perso, je vois ça comme un véritable plus car je raffole des tenues longues durée, je déteste devoir retouché mon lipstick en journée, après avoir mangé par exemple. Vous pouvez le porter avec le fini mat, sans le gloss mais niveau confort c'est un peu plus asséchant. Alors vous en pensez quoi les filles? 

What do we think ladies? Do we like the Lipfinity?
