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…

Beauty Battle: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant vs Indeed Labs Facial Powdered Exfoliator

By know I’m sure you will know that I’m a huge fan of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant for its instant smoothing properties, but the R850 price tag really, really hurts. Until recently, there hasn’t been an alternative on the market, let alone an affordable one, so I just forked out the cash with my eyes closed. Then Indeed Labs (makers of Hydraluron, among others) launched this, their Facial Powdered Exfoliator and I knew I had to give it a try. Here’s the lowdown: Points of similarity Both are water-activated micro-powders Both are gentle enough to use every day (although I…

Review: REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial

We love a good face mask over at All Dolled Up, so when this landed on my desk I had to resist the urge to go home immediately so I could try it. It’s no secret that REN’s Glycolcatic Radiance Renewal Mask will go down in history as one of both mine and Jules’ all-time favourite face masks, so I knew this latest offering from REN wouldn’t disappoint. Let me talk you through what it does and how it works. This mask promises to transform your complexion in 60 seconds – which a definite upside for us time-pressed gals, especially…

Holiday Hauls: Greek Pharmacy

Greek beauty brands really are some of the best in the world. There is an astonishing array of natural and organic ranges, many of which use amazing local ingredients like honey, yoghurt, chamomile and pomegranate to treat various skin and hair concerns. Two of the most well-known pharmacy brands are Korres (now available at selected Edgars) and Apivita, which specialises in using bee products and Greek herbs to create effective skincare and cosmetics. Both brands are easily available throughout Greece, so one quick trip to a nearby “pharmakeia” resulted in the following purchases: Korres After-Sun Face Cream with Yoghurt I…

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…

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…
