Short review

Today I'll be doing a short review on L'Oreal Nude Magique BB powder. It comes in a plastic box; the upper compartment contains the powder, while the bottom one contains a mirror and a small makeup sponge/applicator. 

It's supposed to have a velvet-like texture, but I'm not exactly flabbergasted by this product, especially if you consider the price. I purchased it from H&M for around 20€ and I don't think it's as good as some cheaper products of the same type. It's very starchy and your skin needs to be moisturised, otherwise it can look as if you put your face in a bag of flour. Definitely not the effect you want to achieve. 

The other thing that bothered me is that it's quite hard to blend it on your face without almost removing everything. Also, I'm always looking for the brightest shade, but even this one was too bright for me.

All in all, it's an OK product, but nothing special. I'd rate it (maybe) as 3/5. I'm sure you can find a better product for a lot less money and I'm also quite sure I won't purchase this product again. It just didn't work for me as I expected, but it doesn't mean it's not working for anyone. You can always give it a try.

Neverfull GM review

Today I'll be reviewing the Neverfull GM bag in Damier Azur print. The picture above shows the box it came in - in my opinion, a horrible type of box for this kind of bag, so I took it out as soon as I left the store to avoid creasing.

This is the bag after almost 6 months. 

It shows very little patina, since I've mostly been using it just for my trips as hand luggage. I chose GM for that purpose - it really is "never full" and you can pack so much into this beautiful tote.

As you probably know, the new version of this bag comes with a matching pouch. You can use it as a cosmetic pouch in your bag or as a clutch. It really comes in handy sometimes; I for example use it for lady products so I can easily reach them.

The new version also comes with a different interior.

The bag currently retails for 995€ here in Europe, tax included. I purchased it in March for 945€.

I personally find this bag very useful. It has been my go to bag lately, especially during sunny days (and believe me, we had many of those this year!). I'm still not sure if it's the right size for me (I'm quite short), but its size saved me many times, I could fit so much in it. 

The handles are so durable, you don't ever have to worry about them snapping.

I'm very careful with the leather trimmings, avoiding rain and beauty products so they don't leave a stain. So far the patina is light and even.

It's a great bag for travellers, moms, students and anyone who needs a large bag. It's so versatile actually. I could easily call it my favorite bag.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :)
