Beauty favourites: moisture-packed lip sheers



The best Sheer moisturising lipsticks from YSL Chanel Givenchy Burberry Dior

There seems to be a huge push for multi-tasking moisturising lipsticks that let you decide if you want them sheer or high impact. YSL Beauty’s new Rouge Volupté Shine Tint-In-Oil sticks are the perfect example. They’re packaged like a classic lipstick but deliver so much more, which doesn’t surprise me – beauty consumers demand a hell of a lot from beauty products there days. The YSL Rouge Volupté Shine Tint-In-Oil stick is the solid stick version of the brilliant Volupté Tint-In-Oil that came out early last year. (more…)

I’m seriously impressed with Sensai Silky Purifying Cleasing Balm. I’ve tried lots of balms and I find them especially good in the winter as they’re so rich and moisturising. (more…)



Organic beauty: Hurry up and wait



bo jong makeup by Sjaniel

For my Petit Déjeuner film and Hurry Up and Wait shoot, make-up artist Sjaniël gave model Bo Jong a barely-there ‘Saturday morning’ look (above). While working as a make-up artist and model in Cape Town, Sjaniël experienced having make-up done by different people, giving her an empathetic understanding of what it feels like for the model.

Disneyrollergirl: How did you achieve Bo’s ‘Saturday morning’ look?
