Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer | All Dolled Up

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer I bought this concealer when I was in the UK at the end of last year because I liked the Wake Me Up Foundation so much, and broke it out over the holidays when I felt it was too hot to layer corrector and concealer under my eyes. I also seem to be able to get away with less concealer when my face is tanned because my under-eye circles don’t appear as dark. I started using this on its own and not only is the formula creamy and easy to blend, but it feels really…

Summer Beauty: Hot Haircare

Summer can wreak havoc on your hair: chlorine, sunshine, sea salt and heat styling can make your locks dry and stressed rather than sexy and sunkissed. These products will help to fight frizz caused by humidity, inject moisture back into your strands and produce the perfectly tousled beach hair: Philip Kingsley Elasticizer: This world-famous pre-shampoo conditioning treatment delivers a rush of moisture to the hair’s cuticle. Plus you get quick results; suppleness, elasticity and bounce appear instantly without weighing down or coating the hair. Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash: Perfect for taking to the pool or the beach, the hollow, non-slip…

Summer Beauty: The Lookbook

Lauren Hutton at the Oscars in 1975 | All Dolled Up

I spotted this picture of Lauren Hutton at the 1975 Oscars in the latest issue of Allure magazine and was so inspired by her natural, summery look that I immediately went on Pinterest to find more images like it. I love how natural her hair and make-up is, and how the overall effect is glowing and healthy. Sun-kissed cheekbones, long beachy waves, a dusting of freckles and luminous skin are the order of the day so break out that bronzer and be inspired by these other natural beauties: Images via 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6

Guest Review: Pantene Pro-V Normal-Thick Hair Range

I was kindly sent this range to try but I found it a bit heavy for my very fine, thin hair (to be fair it’s made for thicker hair types) so I passed in on to my friend Dee to trial. She has the kind of long, gorgeous locks that make me weak in the knees, so she seemed the perfect candidate for this range, which aims to repair and provide your hair with protection, smoothness and fullness. Here’s what she had to say:

Summer Beauty: Favourite Facial SPFs

I don’t wear SPF on my face every day. Controversial, I know! The truth is that I don’t buy into the skin cancer fear-mongerers who would have us believe that we need to slather ourselves with SPF 50 in order to spend eight hours at a desk. I think it entirely depends on your lifestyle and your skin type, but since I have an office job and medium-toned Caucasian skin, I don’t have to add a heavy-duty SPF into my daily routine. I rely on the SPF within my moisturiser to protect me from incidental exposure during the day but…

December Favourites: Jules

Whenever I do a monthly favourites post, I usually try to stick to products that are available in SA because I know it can be a little frustrating falling in love with something that you can only buy overseas. I’m going to make an exception for this one though, as I recently visited the UK (did you watch my haul video?) and most of the favourites listed below were purchased at the time and I’ve been using them on the daily ever since: Benefit Erase Paste (No. 2 Medium) I recently ran out of my Bobbi Brown Corrector after using…
