Kiehl’s Change Your Skin Challenge: Week 1
Last week I started using Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate on my face every night, as part of the 28-day Change Your Skin Challenge. Kiehl’s kindly gave both Camilla and me a full-size bottle of the overnight anti-ageing elixir (which, if used every night would last us three months at least) to test and report back on. I already used KMRC as part of my night-time beauty routine but alternating it in a three-day cycle with Alpha-H Liquid Gold and a regular moisturiser. I had a suspicion that it was causing me to break out so I was somewhat hesitant to…

Oh, Honey! Sweet Beauty Treats
Honey is having a real moment as a star ingredient in skincare and beauty products. It has long been acknowledged as having healing superpowers thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, making it perfect for treating skin conditions like acne and eczema. As well as being a powerful antioxidant, it’s also extremely nourishing and moisturising, plumping up skin and improving elasticity. Ok, I’m sold! Here’s my pick of the yummiest honey-based beauty products around (full listing after the jump):
Kiehl’s Change Your Skin Challenge
As you will no doubt have gathered by now, Jules and I are huge Kiehl’s fans, so when the lovely Tori from Kiss, Blush and Tell asked us if we’d like to participate in their “Change Your Skin” Challenge, we couldn’t say “yes” fast enough. The Challenge entails using one of Kiehl’s best-sellers, Midnight Recovery Concentrate, every day for 28 days – they claim that within that time, your skin will be completely transformed and forever changed for the better. It’s a bold claim, so I am interested to see what happens. Jules and I also have such different skin…
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…
The Spa Shop
It’s no secret that Camilla and I like to shop. Like, a LOT. We’re also huge fans of online shopping and you should be too – it’s efficient, convenient, offers more variety and is often cheaper than fighting with the hoards in the mall. So we’re always pleased to hear about new online beauty stores, especially when they’re local. The Spa Shop sells spa-quality products (think Dr Hauschka, RapidLash and SpaRitual) for both men and women along with complimentary skin and beauty advice, lots of special offers, free samples, product reviews and free delivery for orders over R1000. You can…
Top 5: Disappointing Products
I do my research before I buy products, which is why I’m very rarely disappointed. However, sometimes, no matter how many rave reviews a product gets, it simply doesn’t tick the boxes for me. Here are the top five products that I really regret buying, in no particular order:
Royal Baby Shower with Mama Mio plus a GIVEAWAY
Saturday dawned wet and miserable, but nothing could dampen our spirits as we were off to a Royal Baby Shower! Mama Mio hosted us at the brand new Langaro Lifestyle Centre in Camps Bay for a morning of games and pampering in honour of (our friend) Princess Kate’s impending motherhood. We were treated to manis and pedis from Langaro’s team of expert primpers and taken on a tour of their facilities which include a hair salon, nail studio, fitness centre, beautiful treatment rooms and a luxury boutique. I plan to go back and try out one of their massages very…
