Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer: Review and Swatches

Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer: Review and Swatches
When it comes to deciding what to review on the blog, I usually aim to write and swatch products that are new and buzz-worthy. As a result, I often don't have time to write about older releases that I use regularly in my daily routine. Therefore, I wanted to dedicate today's post to an amazing concealer I've discovered from Yves Saint Laurent. Released in Summer 2017, the All Hours Concealer ($46 CAD for 5 ml) is a beautiful, medium to high coverage liquid concealer that applies and looks like a dream. I was sent a sample of it in a shade that was too dark for me but because I enjoyed the formulation so much, I went out and bought the right shade. This rarely happens since I get lots of samples to play with so you know that means something. To read all about this concealer and see some before and after swatches, click......

YSL Yves Saint Laurent | Niki Baby Bag in Vintage Leather: Review
Most of the time, when I set my eyes on something expensive, I can usually talk myself out of it. Unfortunately, when I spotted the Niki Baby Bag in Black Vintage Leather (C$2440, as of October 2018) from Yves Saint Laurent about a month ago, I could not get it off my mind. No matter how I tried to rationalize, it was about time that I treated myself with a luxury bag. I mean, I totally deserve it... right? Well anyhow, after extensive research online, I finally pulled the trigger. Since it's such a hefty investment, I thought it was worth reviewing it on the site. So if luxury bags are your thing (or if you are just curious how a bag can cost so much), read on to learn more.......
