Top 10 UK Purchases

Camilla and Jules outside SpaceNK | All Dolled Up

This is a long overdue post, seeing as we went to London almost 2 months ago now! We filmed a video when we got home, but the microphone short-circuited, which resulted in a delightful high-pitched buzzing sound throughout…not ideal. Anyway, we thought perhaps it would be best to show you our respective top 5 purchases (to go through everything would take an age) sooner rather than later as we won’t have an opportunity to film together for the next few weeks. So here we go: Camilla’s Top 5 RMK Cheek Brush Without a doubt, my number one purchase. RMK is…

International Blog Appreciation

It’s no secret that I trawl a LOT of blogs on the daily, so I sift through a lot of information on your behalf (you’re welcome!). Whilst I’ve got a lot of love for local beauty blogs (I’m looking at you Tori, Luzanne and Chantelle), overseas beauty blogs are really what get my heart rate up – and even though a lot of the products aren’t available here, I do think that it’s important to keep informed! Here is a run-down of the articles and videos that I have been loving lately, I hope you enjoy… Caroline Hirons Caroline’s Cheat Sheet…

How To: Feline Flick Eye Liner

Sunday afternoon. Warm winter sunshine. Couch. British Vogue. That, ladies, is my version of heaven. Add Kate Moss to the mix and, well, I’m pretty much the happiest girl in the world. My number one girl crush (sorry VB) was featured in this month’s edition looking as gorgeous as ever, complete with retro two-pieces, statement jewelry and animal print. The make-up was very seductive – smokey kitten-flick eyeliner and mussed-up, Brigitte Bardot hair – no one dons either of those looks quite as effortlessly as Miss Moss (or Mrs Hince, rather) – the woman literally smoulders she’s so sexy. I…

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…

Eyebrow Masterclass

Fact: eyebrows frame your face – they should be groomed, polished and above all, thick. Blame Cara Delevigne if you will, but bold brows are bigger than ever at the moment, and whilst I’m not usually a fan of following trends, I will be making an exception for this one. Learning how to thicken and shape your brows by using either powder or pencils is invaluable – you can transform your entire face in no time at all. Getting to grips with your brows can be daunting to begin with, and so with this is mind, I want to share…

Travel Beauty: Skincare For Long Haul Flights

I was inspired to do this post after watching this fantastic video by Lisa Eldridge on her in-flight beauty routine for long journeys. I’ve adapted this to include products that I own and that are available in South Africa (everything except the Hydraluron). Here’s what I’ll be doing when we get on the plane tomorrow evening while my other half looks on in amusement: 1. Run a blob of Phyto 9 Daily Ultra Nourishing Botanical Cream through the mid-section of my hair down to the ends to help lock in moisture and nourish my strands while in the air. 2. Give…

The Original YouTube Beauty Queen

Discovered this little gem after seeing Lisa Eldridge post it on Facebook. It’s footage of Joan Collins being interviewed by Michael Parkinson while she puts on her make-up and the look is pure 1980’s glamour: gold-and-purple eyeshadow, dark brows, glossy pinky-red lips and a big, fat, stripy line of blusher down her cheeks. Despite the dated make-up, she has plenty of sensible things to say on the subject and seems like a total pro. Enjoy!
