Link Love #5

Here’s a round-up of my recent favourite beauty reads – I hope you enjoy! Cindy Crawford Cover Story – Violet Grey Cindy Crawford is my #1 favourite supermodel of all time, so when she speaks, I soak up every word – it’s like the gospel to me. What I found interesting in this article is that she mentions how her hair has aged – apparently no one warns you about the change in texture and how much more brittle it will become – yikes! Still, forewarned is forearmed and all that! How To Bathe Like A (Detox) Princess – She’s…

The Brush Cleansing Dream Team

You know you’re the world’s biggest beauty geek when a silicone brush-washing glove excites you. I’ve had my eye on the Sigma Spa Brush Cleasning Glove for a couple of months now, and finally decided to bite the bullet and treat myself (I also bought one for Jules for her birthday and she literally squealed when she opened it). The glove has two sides: one for eye brushes and one for face brushes: There are variety of textures and surfaces which perform various functions, ie wash, refine, rinse and shape. The glove itself is incredibly soft and much more flexible…

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid: The One

If you’re anything like me, you chop and change between various fragrances, but none of them really hook you to the point that you don’t want to use anything else. For years and years I used Narciso Rodriguez ‘For Her’, and although I loved it, the real reason I stuck with it was because I hadn’t found anything else that grabbed my attention. I am a real sucker for Tom Ford fragrances – I own Black Orchid, Neroli Portifino and now, Velvet Orchid (all thanks to my globe-trotting boyfriend). Ladies, I’m delighted to tell you that Velvet Orchid is ‘The One’. I read…

More USA Hauling…

My boyfriend goes to America a lot. So, as emotional compensation, he brings make-up back for me. I think it’s a fair trade, don’t you? He got back from his latest jaunt about two weeks ago, and although I was very excited to see him, I was equally excited to get stuck into the goodies I’d asked him to bring back for me. I thought about photographing everything straight away but I wanted to try them first so I could review them for you, and honestly (the real reason), I didn’t have the willpower to wait – I’m too impatient.…

Review: Schwarzkopf BC Hairtherapy

Schwarzkopf recently relaunched their BC Hairtherapy range, which now includes seven hair care lines, each with specific formulas and ingredients specially selected for the hair care needs of different hair types. The secret to the new BC Hairtherapy range is Cell Perfector Technology, which replenishes the surface of the hair and rebuilds the hair structure, leaving you with the healthiest, happiest head of hair you’ve ever experienced. I’m not going to go into the exact details of how the ingredients work – it’s all very scientific and a bit confusing, but if you do want more details, let me know and…

Say It Ain’t So: A Cellulite Cream That Actually Works

Regular readers will know that Jules and I are both huge Mio Skincare fans, so when we were recently given a bottle of Shrink To Fit, my usual anti-cellulite cream cynicism went out the window and I committed myself to using it for a solid month to test its effectiveness (fear not, I won’t scar you with before and after pictures). I think we all share the same sentiments, by and large, when it comes to lotions and potions claiming to have ability to banish cellulite – they don’t work. However, if ever there was going to be brand to create one that…

Review: REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial

We love a good face mask over at All Dolled Up, so when this landed on my desk I had to resist the urge to go home immediately so I could try it. It’s no secret that REN’s Glycolcatic Radiance Renewal Mask will go down in history as one of both mine and Jules’ all-time favourite face masks, so I knew this latest offering from REN wouldn’t disappoint. Let me talk you through what it does and how it works. This mask promises to transform your complexion in 60 seconds – which a definite upside for us time-pressed gals, especially…

Camilla: August Favourites

You guys. It’s September. I can’t even. August was a really great beauty month for me – I rediscovered some old favourites, did a bit of shopping (as always…) and was given a lip balm that is so good, I fear it’s ruined me for life. Let’s get started, shall we?

Thanks, Back to MAC!

I’m sure that Jules and I have mentioned the Back to MAC Program before, but for those who don’t know, it’s an initiative by MAC to encourage the recycling of their empty products. So, if you take 6 empty MAC products to any MAC counter or MAC Cosmetics online, you’ll receive a free MAC lipstick of your choice. Sweet deal or what?! I recently saved up enough empties to cash in and get a free lipstick, and I decided on ‘Vegas Volt’, a brightened orange-coral with a creamy, opaque finish (it’s an amplified creme formulation). It immediately went onto my lust…
