Edgars, Clicks & Dischem Haul: October 2013
Oh dear. We did it again. Well, to be fair Camilla was quite restrained – I, on the other hand, went completely overboard, as usual. I can’t help it ok, it’s a sickness. Products & prices after the jump.
La Dolce Vita Make-Up Tutorial
Regular readers will be familiar with our deep love for Charlotte Tilbury. My favourite look from her eponymous make-up collection is ‘La Dolce Vita’ and so I thought I would attempt to recreate the look for you using products available in South Africa. Note: I struggle to do a proper cat-eye flick, so this is more of an interpretation than a recreation, strictly speaking…hope you enjoy!

How to Clean Your Face with Isabelle Bellis
I happened upon this video series on Into The Gloss recently and thought you guys might enjoy it. Isabelle Bellis is a quintessentially chic Parisian living in New York, where she runs a unique skin clinic from the penthouse floor of a townhouse on a quiet, residential block on the Upper East Side. Her luminous skin and sing-song French accent have resulted in a girl crush of note, but she also really knows her stuff! You can read more about her in this interview with Elle magazine or visit her website. Part One: Cleansing Part Two: Moisturising Image via.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Make-up House of Rock ‘n’ Kohl
London department store, Selfridges & Co., is arguably the world’s finest beauty destination, so it seems only appropriate that they should play host to a one-of-a-kind beauty event in partnership with Charlotte Tilbury, one of the world’s best make-up artists. Conceived as an early promotional event for Charlotte’s much-anticipated make-up line which is launching in Selfridges later this year, the beauty festival ran for the past five days, drawing hundreds of beauty lovers to the iconic Oxford Street location. The event centred around a custom-built concept store where visitors could get a ‘Tilbury Transformation’ makeover with members of Charlotte’s personal…
Lisa Eldridge’s Foundation Course
Make-up artist extraordinaire and one of our biggest girl crushes, Lisa Eldridge, recently created a series of videos to help women with the common challenge of selecting the right foundation. The videos cover basic information about choosing and shopping for foundation, advice on picking the right shade for your skin tone, product recommendations and application techniques. Having fallen victim to the curse of the artificial department store lighting and buying the wrong shade of an expensive foundation myself, I can’t tell you how invaluable these videos are. Here is one of the videos but you can click here to see them…
UK Beauty Haul: Skincare
A couple of you asked to see a haul of all the goodies I bought in London when I was there in April, so here it is. Unfortunately for my bank balance, I bought so much stuff that I need to split it up into two videos (sorry I’m not sorry) so here is the first one which is all about skincare. Some of these products can be bought in SA (marked with a *) and where applicable I’ve supplied links to websites that will ship here, many of them for free. Let me know in the comments if you…
