Today my boyfriend arrives home after two very long months away. It goes without saying that I want to look my very best when I collect him from the airport later, and this is the look I went for…

Skin Solutions: Dry vs. Dehydrated
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.
My Skincare Routine: Camilla
I have been trying a number of different products recently and I feel like I’m onto a good thing with my current routine, so I thought I’d share it with you. To recap, my skin is incredibly dry, and I suffer with rosacea (which I keep under control with antibiotics) and blemishes. Lately I have also been experiencing congestion on my cheeks which I think is largely down to exercising with make-up on (naughty) – I am trying to remember to take my foundation off now before I hit the gym.

Bathtime Bliss
Let me start by saying that I’m not really a bath girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good wallow, but nothing beats the efficiency of a shower for me. In a world where I never seem to have enough time, I rarely have the luxury of spending half an hour unwinding in the tub. But sometimes, especially when it’s cold outside and my back is aching after a long day spent at my desk, I have the house to myself and I’m in the mood to be pampered, then I’ll make an exception. Well, last night was just…
COMPETITION: Revlon Nearly Naked Make-up {CLOSED}
If you watched Camilla’s Fresh & Fabulous make-up tutorial on Tuesday, you will have seen her using Revlon’s new Nearly Naked foundation. Leading the way for other “drugstore” foundations, this product is part of the new generation of lightweight formulas that melt right into the skin and blend out like a dream. Coverage is buildable without getting cakey, and the smooth, natural finish makes it invisible on the skin. If you’re a tinted moisturiser girl and find foundation intimidating, we strongly suggest you give this a whirl. It also gets bonus points for being super affordable – only R169! What a steal.…
Beauty Haul: The Payday Purchases
There’s nothing quite like getting that payday SMS, is there? Best. I don’t know about you, but I tend to hit the shops immediately as I feel like the cash is burning a hole in my pocket. Here’s what came home with me this month…
Fresh & Fabulous Make-Up Tutorial
Ever woken up after a big night, looked in the mirror and wanted to scream/cry? Me too. With this in mind, I chose a particularly hungover morning to film this tutorial to show you how to make a scary face look bearable again. You’re welcome! Before you watch it, there are a few things I would like to bring to your attention: “Trusty” is my favourite word. The colour of my foundation looks completely mismatched in this video, but I assure you it’s just the lighting. In real life I didn’t look like the Oros man. I do eventually cover…
