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…

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 #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…

Overnight Hydration Heroes

I was lucky enough to spend three days in the Karoo last week and, although it is the most beautiful, peaceful place in the world, it is also incredibly dry. By the time I got home on Sunday night, I felt as though every drop of moisture had been zapped from my body, so I went into damage control mode and whipped out every hydrating product in my arsenal. Here’s what I did to restore the balance: Face Jules and I recently received a few GLAMGLOW face masks from the lovely people at Metropolitan Cosmetics. Being a dry skinned gal, my eye was…

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…

What to Buy at The Body Shop Winter Sale

I feel like The Body Shop is on fire at the moment, with some seriously good new products being added to their line-up over the past six months or so. I usually stock up on my favourites during their massive bi-annual sale and since the winter promotion has just started, I thought I would share with you which items will be flirting with my shopping basket: Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil Probably my current favourite product from The Body Shop (check out my review here), this gentle make-up remover will make your first cleanse quick and easy, leaving skin feeling clean,…

Review: Dermalogica V&A Concept Store

Dermalogica V&A Concept Store | All Dolled Up

I don’t think anyone would argue with the fact that Dermalogica make some of the best quality skincare around. Daily Microfoliant and PreCleanse have long been part of Camilla and my beauty routines, and we’ve never tried a product that we didn’t adore. Everything in the professional-grade line is targeted, highly effective, and free of common irritants – you quite simply can’t go wrong. As part of the brand’s 20th anniversary in South Africa, they opened a new concept store at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, offering the full retail experience as well as a range of skin health treatments. These include…
