Lush Christmas Preview

Last Thursday evening I attended the Lush Christmas Preview with my darling friend Tori from Kiss, Blush and Tell (you can read her write-up of the event here). If there is anyone who knows how to get you into the festive spirit, it’s Lush. The products were displayed beautifully and there were plenty of staff on hand to talk us through all of the latest offerings and to answer any of our questions. They were all so enthusiastic and excitable, it was impossible not to get swept up in it! There are obviously many, many incredible products available for Christmas,…

Three Nifty Hair Tricks

I’ll be the first to put my hand up and say that I am pretty rubbish with my hair – I have followed the same tried and tested routine for the past 15 years, and it’s very rare for me to stray. However, in the spirit of trying new things, I have discovered three little hair tricks that I have really been enjoying lately, and I wanted to share them with you.

January Favourites: Camilla

Smashbox Liquid Halo HD Foundation Jules and I were given a bottle of this a couple of months ago and I must be honest, I didn’t touch it until the beginning of this year because my love affair with Dior Diorskin Nude BB Cream was still going strong. However, I am kicking myself for not using it sooner because it is gorgeous! Although the formulation is lightweight, the coverage is excellent and it evens out my skin tone beautifully. The finish is luminous and glowy (my personal favourite, as you will no doubt be aware of by now) and it…

Lush Christmas Haul

Of all the Christmas collections that are released around this time every year, the limited edition products from Lush are some of my favourites. They are truly the most festive beauty treats you can get and really help to get you in the mood for dressing the tree, baking mince pies and wrapping presents. I’ve picked my six favourite items from the Christmas range but they also sell brilliant packaged gift sets that look gorgeous under the tree and would thrill any Lushie on Christmas morning.

Beauty Haul: End of the Spending Freeze!

So, last Friday marked the end of my three-month-long spending freeze; 90 days of torturous new-product-bans after a rather expensive trip to the UK in April. To celebrate, I went and blew my monthly budget at the Waterfront (well, what did you expect?!) and here’s what I bought: Clarins I’ve been wanting to try the Instant Eye Make-up Remover Lotion (125ml for R250) after seeing it recommended on a few trusted blogs for fast removal of stubborn mascara. I have NO patience when it comes to getting off my eye make-up and I invariable scrub at my eyes with whatever…

June Favourites: Jules

My five favourite beauty products from the month of June and mini reviews of each after the jump. Lush Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner Sounds weird, right? Well, it is a bit weird but only because there isn’t anything else like it currently on the market (although Nivea are launching a very similar version soon). It’s basically a thick, deliciously rose-scented cream that you rub over your wet skin in the bath or shower, and then rinse off, leaving behind a very moisturising residue that keeps your skin soft and supple all day long. The reason I love it so much…

Oh, Honey! Sweet Beauty Treats

Honey is having a real moment as a star ingredient in skincare and beauty products. It has long been acknowledged as having healing superpowers thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, making it perfect for treating skin conditions like acne and eczema. As well as being a powerful antioxidant, it’s also extremely nourishing and moisturising, plumping up skin and improving elasticity. Ok, I’m sold! Here’s my pick of the yummiest honey-based beauty products around (full listing after the jump):
