Toronto Fashion Night Out & YSL Rouge Review

Hi all! Thanks for having so much patience and keep checking back for posts. I've been a bit busy but I will make sure that I update regularly!

Since I live downtown Toronto, my husband and I managed to catch a bit of the Toronto Fashion Night Out at Holt Renfrew. I got some freebies from the YSL counter inside! Yay for freebies! H&M was serving some yummy drinks so that was awesome too!


Samples from YSL

So that's the small sample bag that I received from the YSL counter in Holt. I'm pretty excited to try out the mascara.

There were people queuing up for free drinks, confettis everywhere, and SUPER loud music (not fond of that!). 


Free limited edition Diet Coke for Holt 175

It was pretty good although it's a really small event compared to what I saw online of the NYC FNO!

I tried out one of the lip stick this morning for work. 


YSL Rouge Pur Couture No.10

It applied smoothly with the brush that was included in this sample. I liked it when I looked at myself in the mirror, however it really washes my complexion out in photos!

What do you think? I kind of like it.. but this thing has no lasting power! You would have to reapply so often if you want the colour to show up on your lips! I'm going to give the darker colours a try this weekend and get back to you on that. :)

I hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend ahead!

Medium Length Haircut & FOTD

I've had my long hair for a few years now and I've finally decided to make the chop! I am very much used to short hair and I've had hair cuts much shorter than this in the past. Those were the days.. haha!


FOTD

I used the new Sephora + Pantone Blush Duo (Coral) and the eyeshadow quad for this look.

In case you don't remember how long my hair was..


The hair

I don't know much about hair do and certainly quite difficult to do it on myself. My hair looked way too heavy and no longer frames my face properly and weighing my hair at the top down.


NEW HAIR

So I chopped a lot off!! YAY!

I believe I'll be able to do so much more with this hair and I'm really satisfied with the result.

If you are wondering, I did my hair at:

Maya Hair Salon

635 Bloor St. West,
Toronto ON
M6G 1K8
Ph: 416 588 1480

The haircut was cheap and great service too! $17 for male and $30 for female. Remember to give them a call to make an appointment cause they are very popular around Koreatown!
