NEW: Moroccanoil Volume Collection

Moroccan oil Extra Volume Shampoo and Conditioner | All Dolled Up

We recently attended the launch of Moroccanoil’s latest product line that promises to inject fine hair with lots of body and volume. Those are the magic words as far as we’re concerned so we were very excited to give the range a whirl – here’s the lowdown: Extra Volume Shampoo & Conditioner If there’s a choice between the effectiveness of cleansing vs styling products in creating volume in my hair, styling products will win every time. I just have a much more successful track record with them than shampoo and conditioner. I’ve been using this combination almost every single time…

Almond Obsession

Sweet Almond Oil Beauty Products - All Dolled Up

I’ve recently discovered that I absolutely love the smell of sweet almond oil. It started when I picked up a tub of Almond Body Butter from The Body Shop winter sale a couple of months ago and it’s become a full-blown obsession. I find the warm, nutty fragrance has just enough sweetness to be feminine without being sickly, and is tempered by a vanilla-like creaminess. Sweet almond oil is one of the most versatile, multipurpose skin care oils out there. It is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and is therefore extremely nourishing and revitalising, especially for dry skin. It…

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…

Jules’ September Favourites

I’ve got a bumper edition of favourites this month so let’s dive in. There is a mixture of products that I bought in London on my recent stopover there, and a few that are available here, so read on to get the lowdown: Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in “Nudist” I raved at length about “Raplumzel” in our July Favourites video and have since moved on to quite a serious love affair with nudes. “Nudist” is a highly wearable, gorgeous caramel nude shade that is easy to apply without a mirror and is now a permanent inhabitant…

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…

Holiday Hauls: Travel Minis

Kalimera! Greetings from Greece! The past week has been super relaxing (eat, swim, sleep, and repeat) and now that I’m feeling refreshed I thought I would share a few holiday purchases with you. This haul is from a quick stopover in London where I picked up some travel minis from Boots (don’t you just LOVE minis?!): Soap & Glory Hand Maid and Hand Food As you have know doubt picked up from frequent mentions on this site, I’m a die-hard S&G fan and can’t resist their pocket-sized versions of classic products. Both Hand Maid anti-bac waterless cleanser and Hand Food…

The Best Beauty Instagrammers: Who To Follow

I don’t know about you, but I can get lost in the world of Instragram for hours. Searching beauty hashtags is a particular favourite of mine – I find myself gazing appreciatively at all the lovingly styled photographs of fellow beauty enthusiasts. If you’ve ever tried to take photographs of cosmetics or styling tools, you’ll know just how frustratingly difficult it can be to make them look chic. I wanted to share some of my current favourite beauty Instagrammers with you because the photographs always inspire me, and I hope they will inspire you too! Please let me know who your…

Carry On Beauty

Travel Beauty: Carry-On Only | All Dolled Up

Tomorrow I will be getting on a plane and heading back to Greece for a well-deserved three week holiday and I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. This time we are going to limit our luggage to carry-on only which seems wonderfully practical when you have to catch four flights and a ferry to get to your destination, but it also poses some packing problems in the beauty department. I’ve taken up the challenge though, and whittled down my toiletry bag to include only limited liquids and plenty of travel-size items to maximise space. Using up samples and testers is a great way to…
