Hello Sexy!

We seem to really love "Glam" right?? Lol Helloo Sexy! Lets take a moment to appreciate this packaging! I was thrilled when GLAMGLOW launched in South Africa this year. Finally, we had access to the luxury brand without having to travel or pay in Dollars. One of their bestsellers is the Supermud Clearing Treatment, & I had to try it out for myself. First, let me just say, it does not disappoint. "Suggested Usage: -Apply a thin layer to clean skin. Leave on for 5-20 minutes. Pore-Matrix™ technology will reveal dots of vacuum extractions." I use a Facial Mask Brush to apply the mask evenly. {Apply in a timely manner as the product does dry pretty quick.} Don't apply anywhere near your eye area. Supermud has a minty smell that kind of stings your nose at first... It does have a tingle. After 20mins, I wash off thoroughly using a Facial Sponge. You may tone & moisturize thereafter, & don't forget to use a good Sunscreen. This mask is made up of activated charcoal & mud - which helps to suck up dirt and excess oil. When applied at first, its dark in colour, and as the mask dries the colour lightens, then you will visibly see tiny dots pop up as the deep congestion is pulled to the surface. WOW. I saw results with my very first application. My face felt clean, mattified & fresh. My skin even felt smoother, & make-up seemed to glide on twice as good as normal - so its a good choice as a prep mask before that special occasion. If you have Dry Skin, this product isn't for you - it's super intense. You may find dry or sensitive areas of your face become flaky. If you have Combination Skin you can incorporate it into a multi-masking routine by applying it to your T-Zone and smearing a hydrating mask to the rest of your face. Multi-masking is amazing because you can treat different spots with different needs all at the same time! Tailor making your mask takes your treatment to the next level! The product also works as an overnight spot treatment- just dab on spots before bed, when that unexpected acne comes up. The price difference is huge between Glam Glow and other Charcoal Masks out there. Is it worth the high retail price?? I think so. I have tried other charcoal masks claiming similar results - but nothing comes close to this. I do think it is a supportive product to have in your skincare regimen. What masks are you loving at the moment?

Patches Make Everything Better.

So, another trend that has my heart at the moment is the patch trend. Patches are so fun and add a playful pop to an otherwise basic outfit. Why Buy It, When You Can DIY It There's a whole range of clothing, bags & slippers with attached patches in store now (see our TGC Bomber Jacket with Patches - R499), but why not personalise your existing clothes with patches you've picked out yourself? Make an otherwise ordinary outfit interesting with The Glam Closet's selection of Patches & Pins. It's EASY! You will need: A household iron A pressing cloth (a thin piece of fabric or a lightweight cotton towel works well). A firm piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil. 1. Set iron to "dry" not steam setting. 2. Pre-heat to cotton setting (or if unsure of your fabric, one or two settings lower). 3. Position your patch as desired and cover with the pressing cloth. 4. Place the backing underneath between your garment and the iron board. The backing board helps reflect heat back to the patch and garment rather than drawing heat into the ironing board cover speeding up the process and ensuring a flat, secure bond. 5. From the front of the patch, press the iron flat in an up and down, vertical motion (do not move back/forth/around) for 25 to 40 seconds to tack the patch in place using the center part of your iron. 6. Turn inside out or upside down (if possible) and still using the pressing cloth, repeat from reverse side for 30 to 45 seconds. 7. ALLOW the patch and your item to cool, completely. Test an edge of the patch to ensure it is secure. If not, repeat increasing the amount of time 10% - 20% each time taking care to ensure the patch and fabric are protected. Warning: Do not remove the patch if you fail on your first attempt or you will damage the adhesive. Just repeat the steps with additional time. Some household irons just don't get hot enough as they do not have temperature gauges. The goal is to melt the glue into the fiber without scorching or burning the fabric or the patch. Remember, you can always revert to a bit of hand sewing to keep your patch secure. PIN It! If you arent ready to make this sort of long-term commitment as yet (LOL), take a look at our Sets of Pins. Pin it on when you're in the mood! Or Mix & Match pins and patches together, for a fuller effect.

Closet Essential

This could possibly be the most versatile item of clothing in your closet. Its the coat you can wear all year round. Our classic colours are: Black, Grey, Green, & Scarlett. In Summer you could wear it over swimwear or shorts as a cover-up. It's perfect if you're near the pool or traveling to an exotic destination. For Everyday - Throw it over jeans & a basic tee. Pair with flats for a casual look, heels for added glam, or boots on a colder day. For the modest dressers - It can be difficult to find clothing thats full-length, long sleeves, loose fitting and still fashion forward. With the TGC Coat you can dress fashionably while maintaining your modesty. Recently we've added 2 NEW coats to our collection.  •Stripes - Modern & monochrome, this has got to be the boldest one of all. •Jersey - An easy-to-wear wrap dress, made with the softest, lightest jersey material.
