A little sneak peek!!

For all the dutchies here is a little sneak peek for the department store in Amsterdam called 'Douglas'.
Around December the 6th the store is going to have a lot more of make up brands. Including: NYX, Bobbi Brown and Benefit. 
Now with the last two you will  probably be familiar with, but the first one is an American brand which I use to buy when I lived in L.A.

You could only purchase this brand in the Netherlands by ordering it online, and even then they did not have all the products plus it would costs you a lot more in the end.
Douglas is already offering them online so go and check it out.
The prices here for NYX are still a little higher then in the US, but worth the money,
NYX has been compared to a lot of higher end brands such as MAC.
I think it is great that the Douglas is investing in a brand like this. I can't wait untill it's here so I can spend my money on it ;).

YSL Shocking mascara!!!

I have been trying the new YSL Shocking mascara lately and I love it!!
At first I was somewhat sceptical about it because of the old one I use to purchase.
The YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils used to be one of my favorites the only downside about it was that it dried out pretty fast. Which kind of bothered me because it is not a cheap mascara. And, to go to the store every few weeks is not what I like to do for my mascara.
So when I got a sample of the YSL Shocking I didn't try it immediately because I'm that girl when she likes a mascara I'll use it for as long as I can. So by the time I got around to use it I was literally shocked!! The texture of this mascara is so smooth that it glides on. A few coats really gives a shocking effect of false lashes.
I like the brushes on YSL mascaras and this one didn't disappoint either. There were loads of bristles which were evenly spaced so they gave my lashes a good coating and no clumping.

They changed the consistency into a sort of bee wax so it won't dry out as fast as the Volume Effet Faux Cils. So good work YSL!!

Before:

Just two normal coat of my mascara that I normally use.
After:
Two coats of the Shocking mascara.

 Yes I'm Shocked!! Look at this. Amazing right!!!!

In the Netherlands you'll pay € 30,48.
