The Spa Shop

It’s no secret that Camilla and I like to shop. Like, a LOT. We’re also huge fans of online shopping and you should be too – it’s efficient, convenient, offers more variety and is often cheaper than fighting with the hoards in the mall. So we’re always pleased to hear about new online beauty stores, especially when they’re local. The Spa Shop sells spa-quality products (think Dr Hauschka, RapidLash and SpaRitual) for both men and women along with complimentary skin and beauty advice, lots of special offers, free samples, product reviews and free delivery for orders over R1000.

Leading the way for other “drugstore” foundations, this product  is part of the new generation of lightweight formulas that melt right into the skin and blend out like a dream. Coverage is buildable without getting cakey, and the smooth, natural finish makes it invisible on the skin. If you’re a tinted moisturiser girl and find foundation intimidating, we strongly suggest you give this a whirl. It also gets bonus points for being super affordable – only R169! What a steal.…

Fresh & Fabulous Make-Up Tutorial

Ever woken up after a big night, looked in the mirror and wanted to scream/cry? Me too. With this in mind, I chose a particularly hungover morning to film this tutorial to show you how to make a scary face look bearable again. You’re welcome! Before you watch it, there are a few things I would like to bring to your attention: “Trusty” is my favourite word.
