A walk in Yorkdale mall

Hello my darlings,
Thank you for visiting my blog (which I don't update very often, sorry). I get these rushes where all I want to do is update my blog the whole day and then I feel like i have nothing to write about for months later. I finally got to see my lovely friend Stephanie which I haven't seen in months. It's so nice to spend time with girlfriends especially when you want to go to the mall and do girly things. She was on reading week so we decided that we should go to downtown one day but its been so cold out lately that we just decided to go to the mall instead. The day that we were going it was so yucky out in the morning it starting snowing a little bit and it was very windy so we were glad that we were going to be inside for a little while. When we got to Yorkdale it was pretty quiet which was nice we could walk around and take our time. Of course we had to start off with getting some Starbucks drinks which is always a great way to start the day.
Its very sad that they are changing the label, i really like the label that they have now its nice and simple. Afterwards we walked around Indigo for a little bit which I love they always have cute little accessories that you can't find anywhere else. Afterwards we walked around the mall and went to Holt Renfrew which is always fun to be in. It was early in the morning when i left the house so i didn't have time to do my make up and Stephanie had just a little bit of make up on which was perfect, we got little make overs! I think it's so awesome when your felling yucky and ugly and you walk in and a girl completely gives you a make over to make you look marvellous.
We were walking by the YSL counter and the beautiful girl there asked if we wanted quick make overs and of course we said yes. This girl was so nice and sweet and new exactly what she was doing. She gave me such a beautiful make over that made me look like a doll. Stephanie was getting a make over from this gorgeous girl that had the nicest accent. She was from England..obviously they have the coolest accents there. She gave Stephanie such a beautiful make over as well. We were on cloud 9 it was so nice to feel so pretty after.
I've heard a lot about YSL products but I never actually bought anything from there. I really liked the lip combo that she used on me so I purchased it, it was a pretty pink colour and a lipliner to match it. You only need a little bit on this lipstick, it really goes a long way. I cant even put it from the tube because it goes on very barbie pink, I just put a little bit on with a lip brush. This lipstick is interesting because it goes on as a normal lipstick and then it dries a little and last a couple of hours so its very long lasting. The lipstick that I bought has a matte finish which is nice because I dont like shimmer but if I ever wanted I can just put lipstick over it.
YSL Yves Saint Laurent
       
        Pros:
  • The packaging is so beautiful, you just feel so fancy having it in your purse
  • They have beautiful colours that are very pigmented 
  • They really are long lasting, without that dry feeling that most long lasting lipsticks give you.
  • They are very smooth in texture, they glide on smoothly and look very nice on their own or with lip gloss. 
        Cons:
  • I personally can't put it on from a tube or if I do I can only use a tiny bit with the colour that i chose. If it was a nude colour though you can totally put it on from the tube and everything will be great.
After our little make overs we just walked around the mall and got some macaroons from Godiva and a Paris Vogue which I've been looking for everywhere.
All in all, days with girlfriends are so much fun. I forgot how much I missed her until we had a great time that i didn't want her to leave. If you're ever looking for things to do with a girlfriend definitely go get little make overs from Holt Renfrew the girls are so wonderful there. 
Until next time,
