Top 10 UK Purchases

Camilla and Jules outside SpaceNK | All Dolled Up

This is a long overdue post, seeing as we went to London almost 2 months ago now! We filmed a video when we got home, but the microphone short-circuited, which resulted in a delightful high-pitched buzzing sound throughout…not ideal. Anyway, we thought perhaps it would be best to show you our respective top 5 purchases (to go through everything would take an age) sooner rather than later as we won’t have an opportunity to film together for the next few weeks. So here we go: Camilla’s Top 5 RMK Cheek Brush Without a doubt, my number one purchase. RMK is…

Camilla’s Most Used Holiday Products

You’ve seen Jules’ holiday favourites, and now it’s time to see which products Camilla reached for most frequently over the festive season… Bumble & bumble Don’t Blow It (H)Air Styler This is definitely my number one hero holiday product. It’s a creme which ‘enhances texture and body with a soft, product-free feel for your perfect air-dried style’ – perfect for those days when you really can’t face heat styling your hair (which, given the current Cape Town temperatures, is every day). Prior to using this product, I think Jules, my oldest friend, could count on one hand the number of…

{CLOSED} Day 3: Win a Thierry Mugler ‘Angel’ Fragrance Hamper

The iconic Thierry Mugler fragrance, Angel, has been a bestselling beauty product for over 20 years. When it first launched in 1992, Angel was the first of new category of “oriental gourmand” scents that combined flavours (in this case, chocolate, vanilla and honey) with floral accords (patchouli, bergamot and sweet red berries).

November Favourites: Camilla

COLAB Dry Shampoo COLAB is a range of dry shampoos which have been created by one of our favourite UK beauty bloggers, Ruth Crilly, from A Model Recommends. What makes this dry shampoo different from its ‘drug store’ competitors, is that it’s completely sheer and transparent, so it leaves no residue in the hair. As a brunette, I’ve always struggled a bit with dry shampoo because, no matter how thoroughly I massaged/brushed the product through, it always seemed to leave an unslightly chalkish hue and, more often than not, sticky roots. Plus, the ones I used didn’t smell great and they…

Brace yourselves, London: Jules and I are hitting your shores next week, and we’re feeling spendy! It goes without saying that there is going to carnage in the beauty halls of Selfridges, SpaceNK, Boots, Westfield, Guru Makeup Emporium and PAM, amongst others. Here is a brief run-down of what’s on my list so far: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in ‘Pillow Talk’ I have wanted this for about two years, and the wait is finally over. This liner has achieved cult status amongst those whose opinions I trust, and I am looking forward to using it to create a significantly fuller pout! Urban…
