Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne | All Dolled Up

Lush Jersey Bounce Shampoo I’m a devoted and longtime fan of Big shampoo for its ability to give my fine, thin hair lots of texture and volume. Jersey Bounce, the new kid on the block, is very similar in formulation; both contain plenty of coarse sea salt but the other ingredients differ slightly. While Big uses citrus oils, seaweed and coconut oil, Jersey Bounce is packed with honey, eggs (!), glycerine and olive oil to give the hair a little more nourishment. There’s no question that both are quite stripping (avoid if you have coarse or dry hair) but JB gives back…

Beauty Buddy Top Shelf #1: Jes

Beauty Buddy Top Shelf with Jes | All Dolled Up

We’re kicking off a new series on the blog today that takes a sneak peek inside our friends’ bathrooms and makeup bags to bring you their Top 10 favourite products. We thought it would be interesting to see what other people use and maybe discover a few new things ourselves! First up is our friend Jes, someone we’ve known since we were at school and with whom we share a serious passion for beauty. She’s a busy working mom so she likes things that work well and don’t require too much time and effort, but she also likes to glam…

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…

The Christmas holidays have come and gone *sob* and since we didn’t get around to doing November or December favourites posts, I thought I would tell you which products I have enjoyed using most in the past couple of months. My beauty routine was generally made up of two extremes: loads of hair and makeup or none whatsoever, so this list is a mixture of good skincare and seriously beautiful makeup: Bioderma Photoderm MAX Aquafluid SPF 50+* My skin tends to be oily on the T-zone, especially in summer, so SPF is my mortal enemy because it invariably makes my…

My Backup Beauty Bag

Between regular weekends away, trips to the gym and the odd holiday, I find myself packing, unpacking and re-packing my toiletry bag all too regularly. Tedious tasks like these really push my buttons to I decided to create a dedicated beauty kit that I could literally throw in my bag and go. Many of the products are dictated by convenience (i.e. what I happen to have in a smaller size) rather than preference, but for important things like my serum and moisturiser, I tend to use my favourites. The kit contains miniature hair goodies, travel-friendly skincare, some shower essentials and…

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…

Introducing COLAB Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is one of those products that, once discovered, completely transformed my beauty routine. As someone who suffers (and I mean SUFFERS) with very thin, fine hair that I usually have to clean every single day, finding a product that would save me the time and hassle of washing and drying it on a daily basis was nothing short of miraculous. I thought the brands I had tried in SA were good, but then I tried COLAB on a visit to London and was hooked. I’m thrilled to announce that the brand is now available at Clicks and I…
