Updated: Camilla’s Skincare Routine

It’s been a couple of months since I last gave you a run down of my skin care routine, so I thought it was high time to give you an update (I assume, of course, that you are interested…here’s hoping). There are still some tried and tested favourites firmly in rotation, but there are also a few newcomers which have been really impressed me. I’m going to try and keep this as short and sweet as possible, so here we go…

Quick Reviews #6

Milk_Shake Conditioning Whipped Cream and Leave In Conditioner Milk_Shake uses milk proteins and various fruits to create a natural haircare range to suit every hair type. The range aims to restore the hair’s natural components and nourish the hair fibre to ensure that the hair looks bright and soft. The Conditioning Whipped Cream contains milk and wheat proteins to condition the hair, and special emollients provide deep and long-lasting hydration. I found this product a real pleasure to use – it has a mousse texture but absorbs into the hair quickly leaving no stickiness whatsoever. I was expecting it to weigh…

Shopping the Stash #2

The problem with having too much make-up and a short attention span, is that lots of lovely products tend to get forgotten and start to gather dust in the shadow of the shiny and new. I’m making a huge effort to work through the stuff I have (hence all the recent empties posts!) instead of constantly buying new things, and part of that is “shopping the stash”. I had a rummage around in my kit and brought out some goodies I know I love that I’m going to try and use more often: Wet ‘n Wild “Walking on Eggshells” Colour…

Friday Fun: Top Bits to Read and Watch…

TGIF, amirite?! Things have been so hectic for Jules and I recently that we haven’t really had the time to post as regularly as we normally do. Regular programming will resume shortly, we promise! In the meantime, because it’s Friday (and no one really works on a Friday…do they?), I’ve put together a little list of all the posts and videos I’ve enjoyed recently – have a read/watch and it’ll be 5pm before you know it. You’re welcome! Move Over Coconut Oil, Papaya in Here – XO Vain If you’ve ever used Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, you’ll already have a deep love…

Product Empties #3: Hair

L’Oréal EverRiche Nourishing & Flowing Shampoo and Conditioner This is another one of those products where I simply can’t understand why they aren’t available in South Africa. It is the most brilliant range of sulphate-free cleansing and styling products for different hair types; from weak and over-processed to frizzy and hard to control to dry and damaged. They lather up like a dream and are enriched with botanical oils to nourish dry, fine hair, adding a moisture boost that actually leaves your locks feeling thicker when its dry. The scent is absolutely DELICIOUS and it really lingers in the hair…

Product Empties #2: Skincare

Product empties no 2 - Skincare | All Dolled Up

Soap & Glory Clean on Me Shower Gel This is my second bottle and I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying a third – love this stuff! It smells absolutely delicious and is creamy and nourishing without being too thick. It lathers up like a dream and leaves behind a subtle scent that lingers briefly on the skin. I pair it with The Breakfast Scrub on days when I need to exfoliate my legs and arms, leaving me with smooth, sweet-smelling limbs. Both are usually available from rubybox but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. Price: R190…

Quick Reviews #5

Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition Mascara I’ve always liked Max Factor mascaras – I used them for years when I was living in London and I always seem to go back to them. I picked this up the other day because I fancied trying something new and haven’t been able to put it down since. The pigment is jet black and the formulation is rich and glossy. It separates the lashes and adds both volume and length without any clumping and, although it applies quite wet, it dries quickly and doesn’t flake or smudge…might as well be…

Review: Estée Lauder Double Wear All Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup

When I first read about the new Estée Lauder Double Wear All Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup (‘BB’) I was pretty excited: a hybrid foundation combining great coverage and a dewy/glowy finish…that’s basically the Holy Grail as far as I am concerned. I anticipated the BB to have the same coverage and longevity of Double Wear Light (‘DWL’), with the glowy finish of, say, the Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme. Nope. Although it undoubtedly has more luminosity than DWL, it is by no means gives the skin a glow. Well, certainly not mine anyway (but I should caveat this by…
