Carry On Beauty

Travel Beauty: Carry-On Only | All Dolled Up

Tomorrow I will be getting on a plane and heading back to Greece for a well-deserved three week holiday and I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. This time we are going to limit our luggage to carry-on only which seems wonderfully practical when you have to catch four flights and a ferry to get to your destination, but it also poses some packing problems in the beauty department. I’ve taken up the challenge though, and whittled down my toiletry bag to include only limited liquids and plenty of travel-size items to maximise space. Using up samples and testers is a great way to…

Shopping the Stash #2

The problem with having too much make-up and a short attention span, is that lots of lovely products tend to get forgotten and start to gather dust in the shadow of the shiny and new. I’m making a huge effort to work through the stuff I have (hence all the recent empties posts!) instead of constantly buying new things, and part of that is “shopping the stash”. I had a rummage around in my kit and brought out some goodies I know I love that I’m going to try and use more often: Wet ‘n Wild “Walking on Eggshells” Colour…

Product Empties #3: Hair

L’Oréal EverRiche Nourishing & Flowing Shampoo and Conditioner This is another one of those products where I simply can’t understand why they aren’t available in South Africa. It is the most brilliant range of sulphate-free cleansing and styling products for different hair types; from weak and over-processed to frizzy and hard to control to dry and damaged. They lather up like a dream and are enriched with botanical oils to nourish dry, fine hair, adding a moisture boost that actually leaves your locks feeling thicker when its dry. The scent is absolutely DELICIOUS and it really lingers in the hair…

Product Empties #2: Skincare

Product empties no 2 - Skincare | All Dolled Up

Soap & Glory Clean on Me Shower Gel This is my second bottle and I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying a third – love this stuff! It smells absolutely delicious and is creamy and nourishing without being too thick. It lathers up like a dream and leaves behind a subtle scent that lingers briefly on the skin. I pair it with The Breakfast Scrub on days when I need to exfoliate my legs and arms, leaving me with smooth, sweet-smelling limbs. Both are usually available from rubybox but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. Price: R190…

What to Buy at The Body Shop Winter Sale

I feel like The Body Shop is on fire at the moment, with some seriously good new products being added to their line-up over the past six months or so. I usually stock up on my favourites during their massive bi-annual sale and since the winter promotion has just started, I thought I would share with you which items will be flirting with my shopping basket: Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil Probably my current favourite product from The Body Shop (check out my review here), this gentle make-up remover will make your first cleanse quick and easy, leaving skin feeling clean,…

Review: L’Oréal Elvive Fibrology Range

I first heard about this innovative haircare range from British Beauty Blogger back in January (follow her if you want to know about new beauty launches first!) and was immediately enthralled. It promises to thicken fine hair with each use, penetrating into the fibre and increasing the diameter of each strand (read about the science behind it here) – might as well be a bullseye, amiright? All the buzz was very positive so I was extremely excited to give it a go, especially as it was being sold at such an affordable price point. As soon as it was available…
