GIVEAWAY: Nuxe Luxury Hamper {CLOSED}

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while then you know about Camilla and my obsession with Nuxe. Ever since purchasing their hero product, the Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, from Style36 at the beginning of this year, we have been hooked on this naturally-derived French beauty brand. Our combined collection includes the incredible Rêve de Miel lip balm, the Rêve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream and the Anti-Age Try Me Kit. The lovely people over at Nuxe South Africa (visit their Facebook page here) took notice of our infatuation with their brand and kindly send us a few…

Eye Candy: TWO Magazine

The Pixiwoo sisters are very busy girls. Apart from maintaining their addictive YouTube channel (which has 1.2 MILLION subscribers), they are also both working mums who manage to squeeze in running a make-up artist training course, writing a blog, flying all over the world to promote Real Techniques brushes and publishing an incredible online make-up magazine. It’s called TWO Magazine and it is packed full of delicious make-up, incredible photoshoots, interviews with the pros and exclusive videos. It is published monthly and I can honestly say it’s the one email I look forward to receiving in my inbox! Here are…

MAC’s New Online Store

If you follow us on Twitter and Instagram then you might have seen us mention the new MAC South Africa e-commerce store which went live last week. We’re both big fans of MAC but stock control has never been one of their strong points, so the fact that you can now shop online is music to our ears! It’s also so handy to be able to browse shades, formulations and prices without being bothered by a shop assistant. If you are a make-up newbie or don’t have any MAC products yet then these are the ones I would recommend checking…

Korres Haul

One of the highlights for any beauty buff visiting Greece is getting your hands on some treats from Korres, an amazing, natural skin, hair and make-up brand. Born out of Greece’s first homeopathic pharmacy, all the formulations are developed based on natural ingredients like aloe, calendula and Evening Primrose (it’s actually quite fascinating – read this). I was very excited to spot a small stand-alone store in Athens airport while waiting for a flight so I attacked it with my credit card and here’s what I bought:

NEW: Nip + Fab

Clicks certainly seem to be on fire at the moment, having recently brought gems like our much-loved Indeed Labs’ Hydraluron into the country. Latest on the list of hot new products is the range from Nip + Fab, created by the founder of celeb cult brand Rodial, Maria Hatzistefanis. I had seen the brand in Boots on various trips to the UK but didn’t know much about it, so I did a little research and discovered that they produce a highly respected skincare line. I popped into the branch at the V&A Waterfront and found all the Nip + Fab products…

Charlotte Tilbury for Dsquared2 SS14

Charlotte Tilbury for Dsquared2 Milan Fashion Week SS14

It’s safe to say that most of the make-up looks that come out of fashion week are either totally over-the-top and unwearable or so subtle and sophisticated that they would only really work for the supermodels among us. But every now and then you see something totally gorgeous and inspiring, and that’s what happened when genius make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury posted these pics on her Instagram account of the look she created for Dsquared2 at Milan Fashion Week. Inspired by 1950s Americana, Hawaiian summers and Elvis Presley, the look is total retro perfection. Skin was bronzed and glowing with arched,…

New Lipstick Love

I finally got my braces off a couple of weeks ago and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with my beautiful new smile! I also had them whitened so they’re basically the most perfect-looking teeth you’ve ever seen (but not in that fake, Hollywood kind of way) and I’m ready to show them off. To celebrate I bought a few new lipsticks and here they are: Maybelline ColorSensational Vivid in Vibrant Mandarin & Vivid Rose I’ve been waiting patiently for these to arrive in SA after seeing all the overseas beauty bloggers talking about them, and was thrilled…

Review: Lush Mask of Magnaminty

Let it be said that I spend an enormous amount of money at Lush. And I am not ashamed – I have loved every single product that I’ve bought with the exception of one (Big Solid Conditioner), and let me tell you, I’ve bought a lot. Many of my buys are re-purchases (I Love Juicy, Seanik & Big shampoos, Veganese conditioner, Avobath and Twilight bath bombs, to name a few…) but most are new products that I haven’t tried before. Enter the Mask of Magnaminty: This deep cleansing face mask contains China clay and fresh peppermint that draw the debris…

Review: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure

Doing my nails is one of my great joys in life – I love nothing more than sitting down with my nail file, buffing tool, cuticle pusher-backer and polish remover and giving myself a mini manicure. I usually manage to do this about once a week and then top it off with a quick paint job thats last me until the next time because I generally take care of my nails. Even so, I’ve found recently that they’re starting to peel really badly and it’s driving me nuts. I asked my nail guru Charlotte for advice and she suggested I…

Skincare Shopping: August 2013

Every time that I go into Clicks with good intentions, I leave with a much lighter wallet and way more stuff than I went in for. I can’t help it ok, it’s a force bigger than me! Here’s a collection of a few skincare bits and pieces that I’ve picked up recently: Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm I had heard that this was a drugstore version of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream with the added bonus of being fragrance free and considerably cheaper than the cult beauty alternative. It’s got a similar texture to Vaseline – clear, thick and very soothing…
