iU skincare/wellbeing shops in Brussels
I can not come up with any explanation as to why I was ignoring these shops up until now, but I have a feeling it is going to change soon :-). There are 5 iU magasins in Brussels (and 23 overall in Belgium), pretty much at every big shopping center - Basilix, City 2, Woluwe shopping, Westland shopping, Galerie Louise.
They are selling primarily pharmaceutical cosmetics, which sounds great (until you read a book by Paula Begoun), but you will find here many of the well-established skin-care brands, with a nice and informed personnel:
Revlon ColourBurst lipstick Peach
Not only was I taken by the beauty of the Coral Reef lipgloss, but I also succumbed to the temptation of Revlon's ColourBurst lipstick in Peach, 075. Given that I really like my other two Revlon lipsticks, the decision was pretty easy, with the upcoming summer season, a peachy-coral lipstick looked like just the right choice :-).
The lipstick has no smell (good news after Rimmel's airy fairy) and has a creamy texture which feels light on the lips. The formula is non-drying (at least on me), but then, this is not a super a long-lasting lipstick. The colour is soft, with good pigmentation and extremely wearable for everyone, definitely a good investment.
