Review + Swatches: Chanel Harmonie du Soir Quadra Eye Shadow

Chanel has yet again released a limited edition for the holidays. It's called 'Eclats du Soir' and I was immediately hooked with it.  My favorite was the palette called Harmonie du Soir. 

 So when it was available I immediately rushed to Douglas, even called for it. 

But when I was in the store my eye also has cached the lipstick which is also fantastic. Didn't bought it because 1 thing from this collection is already enough.

The palette contains 4 eye shadows: gold, taupe, red and a rose one. 

In my mind I was already creating an eye look with this palette.

The pigmentation is very good and stays long on your eye.

You can create a day look or a night look with this palette. 

The day look which I had on my mind was: you put the taupe on your eyelid. Then put the rose in the middle from your eye and your brow and then the gold under your brow. As eyeliner I use the red around my lashes.

The palette cost 51,86 euros and now available for a limited time.

 

Event: Opening Marc by Marc Jacobs Store in Brussels

I also went to the new store from Marc by Marc Jacobs at the Modo Parcours. 

I'm a huge Marc Jacobs fan, so this was definitely a must visit for me. 

The store was really a surprise for me. 

I also visited the store in Milan when I was on holiday there for a couple of years ago and really loved it. 

The one in Brussels is very clean and not so small as the one in Milan.

But unfortunately they don't have a Marc by Marc Jacobs café in Brussels like the one in Milan.

I also loved the shirts from the Sales Advisors at the store, unfortunately not for sale.
 

The store includes Women Clothing & Accessories, Men Clothing, Kids Clothing and Book Marc. 

Here are my pics and hope you enjoy them.

High Fashion Low Countries: The Exhibition

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to the exhibition: High Fashion Low Countries 

It was a part of the Modo Parcours in Brussels. 

The project is initiated by the Dutch Embassy in Brussels and contains two themes: sustainable and slow fashion. The embassy has a twofold objective. First strengthening the existing partnerships between Belgium and the Netherlands. Second connecting relevant actors in the sector such as students, teachers and designers in order to share knowledge and expertise on durability and entrepreneurship.

There were six designers involved in the exhibition:

Lena Lumelsky (BE), Celine De Schepper (BE), Katrien Van Hecke (BE), Jantine Van Peski (NL), Pauline Van Dongen (NL) and Natalie De Koning (NL).

Also there were six recent graduates from prestigious Dutch and Belgian schools:  

Manon Kundig (Antwerp Academy, BE), Klaas Rommelaere (Royal Academy of Fine Arts Ghent, BE), Morta Griskeviciute (Gerrit Rietveld Academy, NL), Yvonne Kwok (Amfi, NL), Aliki Van Der Kruis (Sandberg Institute, NL), Jef Montez (Artez, NL).

I must say, I was impressed by these designs. Some things I would immediately wear and also the different levels where a nice and pleasant surprise. Hope you like the pics and the clothes!
