Beauty Hoarder: Hydrating Serums

Beauty Hoarder: Hydrating Serums | All Dolled Up

As someone whose main skin concern is dehydration, it’s no surprise that I tend to like hydrating serums, although why I need so many I’m not really sure! I’m a sucker for anything that claims to improve water retention in the skin and here are the ones currently in rotation on my face: Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Power Serum When Sali Hughes and Caroline Hirons both recommend a fairly affordable hydration product, you know I’m making a beeline for it. It has a very light, cooling texture that sinks quickly into the skin without leaving any kind of residue…

What to Buy at the UK Drugstore

What to buy at the UK drugstore

So, you’re planning a trip to London and you’ve taken an empty suitcase to fill with high street beauty presents to yourself (no, just me?) but you’re not sure where to start? To give you some direction, here’s a list of all the things I’ve bought and loved from Boots and Superdrug, many of which are regularly repurchased: Skincare Hydraluron Moisture Booster – I have three backups of this, that’s how much I love it. Hydraluron was available at Clicks until recently so now I have to get it overseas, but it’s an amazing product for dehydrated skin like mine.…

Most Used Products This Holiday

Fear not, we are alive. Apologies for the extended absence from blogging, but a proper break was needed. After weeks of copious amounts of drinking, eating, staying up too late and catching a little too much sun, I thought I would share a few tried and tested products which proved to come in very handy over this festive season.

UK Beauty Haul: Skincare

A couple of you asked to see a haul of all the goodies I bought in London when I was there in April, so here it is. Unfortunately for my bank balance, I bought so much stuff that I need to split it up into two videos (sorry I’m not sorry) so here is the first one which is all about skincare. Some of these products can be bought in SA (marked with a *) and where applicable I’ve supplied links to websites that will ship here, many of them for free. Let me know in the comments if you…

Skin Solutions: Dry vs. Dehydrated

Dry vs. Dehydrated Skin

Until very recently, I had no idea that there was a difference between dry and dehydrated skin, and it occurred to me that many of you may not have known either. It is especially relevant going into winter, so here is my guide to telling the difference and how to address each particular concern.

Tom Ford Lip Color Shine in Frolic: Julia gave this to me as part of my 30th birthday present – does my best friend know how to spoil me or what? I think I actually squealed when I opened it. It’s a beautiful, soft coral colour with a subtle shimmer shot through it, and whilst the finish is quite sheer and glossy, it is definitely buildable. It has more of a balm-like consistency, which I like as it’s so smooth and creamy, but it does also mean that it’s easy to over-apply. I am trying to use it sparingly because…

Skincare 101 with Caroline Hirons and Pixiwoo

Regular readers will know much Julia and I respect and admire Caroline Hirons and the Pixiwoo sisters, Samantha Chapman and Nicola Haste. I could listen to them talk about skincare and makeup for the rest of my life, and I’d still be captivated by them. The Pixiwoo girls sat down with Caroline to have a chat about her routine and her favourite products, and she also imparted some of her much-sought-after skincare advice as well as a few handy tips and tricks (for example, don’t keep any beauty products in the bathroom – it’s too hot and the products will…
