Lust List: Edgars Red Square
Have you taken a leisurely stroll through a Red Square store recently? If not, I highly recommend that you do – there are so many fabulous new releases, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Usually it takes a while for international releases to trickle down to South Africa, but lately I have noticed that they are hitting the shelves a lot quicker, sometimes within a matter of 2-3 weeks, which is fantastic for us! Last night I wandered around a bit and chatted with all the ladies working behind the counters – they were all so lovely and were happy to…
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…
Best of Beauty 2013: Make-up
An Afternoon with Estée Lauder
It’s almost too easy to be a fan of Estée Lauder. When a company creates such iconic products as Advanced Night Repair, Double Wear foundation and MagnaScopic mascara, quality becomes an absolute given. So we were understandably rather excited to be invited to spend an afternoon with the brand at the Mount Nelson to learn about some of their new launches. The most exciting addition to their product line-up has to be the launch of the fragrance Modern Muse. Inspired by the duality of the modern woman – both soft and feminine while being strong and powerful – it’s the type…
Review: Estée Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place Makeup
A few weeks ago I popped into Edgars and picked up a sample of the Estée Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place Make Up, as I had been wanting to try it for a while. As I’ve mentioned previously, you can visit any Estée Lauder counter and they will happily give you a sample of any foundation which should last you up to seven days (why don’t more brands do this?). I have played around with this foundation a lot recently, and I must confess, I am seriously impressed.
Estée Lauder 7 Day Free Foundation Trial
Did you know that you can visit any Estée Lauder counter and they will give you a free foundation sample that will last you for up to seven days? I only found that out this week (tut tut)! I have been wanting to try Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place Makeup for ages, but I can’t stand my foundation being applied in store, under those harsh fluorescent lights, with the massive pressure to buy straight away. Dreadful. Fast forward to payday, and I was happily dropping cash left, right and center in Red Square when I spotted the Free 7 Day Foundation Trial…be…

Skincare 101 with Caroline Hirons and Pixiwoo
Regular readers will know much Julia and I respect and admire Caroline Hirons and the Pixiwoo sisters, Samantha Chapman and Nicola Haste. I could listen to them talk about skincare and makeup for the rest of my life, and I’d still be captivated by them. The Pixiwoo girls sat down with Caroline to have a chat about her routine and her favourite products, and she also imparted some of her much-sought-after skincare advice as well as a few handy tips and tricks (for example, don’t keep any beauty products in the bathroom – it’s too hot and the products will…
Estée Lauder Free Gift with Purchase
If you’re a serious skincare addict like Camilla and I then you probably already know about Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, which has long been a favourite of beauty editors the world over. It’s known for being the best anti-ageing serum on the market, and it has 30 years’ worth of dedicated fans who will testify that it really does leave skin looking smoother, younger and more radiant. The problem is that, like many high-end serums, it’s extremely expensive. I would argue that although it’s pricey, it’s still great value for money because a bottle lasts forever and the product…
