November Favourites: Camilla

Smitten* A Smitten (Smart Mitten) is a microfiber mitten that is used to deep cleanse your skin using nothing but warm water. No cleanser – just this mitten and warm water *disbelief*. I know – I was very skeptical and didn’t understand how it could possibly work, but I am asking you to trust me when I tell you that it just DOES. You can use it with a cleanser, if you wish, but you don’t need it – I promise. So here is a quick run-down of how it works: the Smitten cloth is a super fine density synthetic…

Lust List: Edgars Red Square

Have you taken a leisurely stroll through a Red Square store recently? If not, I highly recommend that you do – there are so many fabulous new releases, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Usually it takes a while for international releases to trickle down to South Africa, but lately I have noticed that they are hitting the shelves a lot quicker, sometimes within a matter of 2-3 weeks, which is fantastic for us! Last night I wandered around a bit and chatted with all the ladies working behind the counters – they were all so lovely and were happy to…

The Preview: Elizabeth Arden UNTOLD ABSOLU

I recently attended the exclusive preview of the new Elizabeth Arden fragrance, UNTOLD ABSOLU, the latest addition to the UNTOLD family of fragrances. The event was glamorous and refined, and, I think, captured the essence of the fragrance perfectly. We were treated to a delicious 5 course meal inspired by the five different facets of the fragrance: glamorous, captivating, refined, mysterious and sensual. The fragrance itself is rich and warm, and contains touches of Black Raspberry, Italian Bergamot, Red Plum and Ginger. It is billed as “a sensual expression of the original fragrance” and was inspired by the sensual, captivating…

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…

UK Haul – July 2014

December Favourites: Camilla

Tom Ford Neroli Portifino Eau de Parfum Summer. Italian Riviera. Sparkling oceans and fresh, lush foliage. Do you want to smell like that? I know I did, and now I do (hopefully)! This gorgeous offering from Tom Ford contains citrus oils and floral notes with amber undertones and is, in my humble opinion, the perfect fresh, zesty scent for the warmer months. To me, it smells clean, cool and above all, sophisticated – everything I want my summer to be. I have been wearing it every day since I got it and have received nothing but compliments. Sometimes I layer…

November Favourites: Camilla

Skin & Bones Luxurious Moisturiser This has been described as “Jesus in a bottle” – I kid you not. Skin & Bones was founded in 2009 by a husband and wife team whose aim was to design and manufacture simple luxurious artisan products which were both glamorous and sophisticated, yet had youthfulness and a bit of an edge.Their signature product, the Luxurious Moisturiser, was released in 2010, and is created using a blend of 100% organic jojoba and nine therapeutic grade essential oils. I first learnt about this product when my boyfriend started using it and I became hypnotised by the scent…

Christmas at Crabtree & Evelyn

Crabtree & Evelyn Secret Garden | All Dolled Up

Tucked away on the ground floor of the V&A Waterfront is a little row of shops with one thing in common: gorgeous beauty products. One of these stores is Crabtree & Evelyn; once a bit of a granny brand in all honesty, it has undergone a total transformation in recent years and has become one of my favourite stores to visit for gift shopping. Camilla and I were invited to pop in last week to see their special Christmas stock and we were, quite frankly, gobsmacked by all the gorgeous goodies on offer. Not only is the product range surprisingly…
