{CLOSED} Competition Time with Turquoise Studio!

Turquoise Studio has recently celebrated its first birthday! Happy happy birthday to you, dear Turquoise Studio – without you, our lives would be Sigma-less and empty! To celebrate its first birthday, Turquoise Studio has kindly offered up a Sigma Smoke Screen palette to give away to one lucky All Dolled Up reader – just look at how beautiful it is:  Ooh yes, that’ll do nicely, thank you very much! We can attest to the fact that Sigma eyeshadows are fantastic quality – we used the ‘Warm Neutrals’ palette in a tutorial earlier in the year and were both blown away by the…

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…

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…

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.…

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?
