Desk-Side Beauty Essentials

Now that summer is officially here, it means that so is the office air conditioning. I don’t know about you, but my office subscribes to the more is more philosophy when it comes to air conditioning, so I feel perpetually parched and also, quite cold. Luckily I have a few bits and pieces on my desk which help keep the dryness at bay: Eucerin Aquaphor Jules introduced me to this and I’ve never looked back. Fantastic for dry lips and any other areas that need a shot of moisture, this ointment soothes irritation and hydrates dry patches in a flash.…

How Much Is Your Face Worth?

If you’re anything like me (which, for the sake of your bank balance, I sincerely hope you aren’t), most mornings start with trying to decide what to put on your face. I have containers full of make-up, and I try to use different products every day because otherwise I would never get through it all. However, on days when I’m not feeling particularly inspired, I have a fail-safe list of products that I know I can slap onto my face and they’ll leave me looking (relatively) polished. I started doing a little mental arithmetic one morning as I gazed lovingly…

The Wedding: Make-up Tutorial

On Monday you would have seen all the “getting ready” photos from the wedding day and today we have a video tutorial for you that shows an everyday version of the look I wore. It’s a very classic soft eye with a neutral lip that can be amped up for a special occasion, or toned down for day-to-day wear. Enjoy!

The Wedding: Getting Ready

Today I thought I would share some photos from the getting ready process on the big day. The wedding ceremony was at 6pm so I had the whole day to spend with my girlfriends and took plenty of time doing hair and make-up. I hated the idea of being isolated from everyone during the build-up so I invited all the girls to pop in and visit me and the bridesmaids, which was quite successful at helping to keep the nerves at bay. We had such a lovely, relaxed afternoon with Misha AKA Brandslut doing a magnificent job on everyone’s hair…

Camilla’s Top Five Lipsticks

In my opinion, the defining moment for when a girl becomes a woman is when she chooses lipstick over gloss (you can quote me on that). Don’t get me wrong, gloss has its place, but I find lipstick much more sophisticated and ladylike, and I find the act of applying it incredibly comforting – it somehow makes me feel more prepared to face any challenges that may come my way. I’m not a huge fan of bright, bold colours as they rarely suit me, so the colours in my top 5 are more pink-toned and neutral. So without further ado,…

Summer Holiday Make-Up: What To Pack

I am taking a lot of make-up with me on this holiday, but I would like to place on record that the reason for this is because I am in charge of doing Jules’ make-up on her wedding day and I would rather be over-prepared than under-prepared. Under normal circumstances I would hardly take anything – tinted moistuirser, mascara, blush and a lipstick, max. I never wear make-up on the beach and I can’t stand traipsing around a scorching hot city with a full face on – it makes me feel claustrophobic. But, be that as it may, these are…
