Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer: Review and Swatches

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and features samples and products bought by me.

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......

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and the product featured was purchased by me.

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.......
