Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Earlier this week, I attended a dinner celebrating the launch of Thierry Mugler’s new limited edition fragrance, A*Men Pure Havane, R895 for a 50ml EDT. Was quite a fancy li’l shindig and involved honey-glazed smoked quails, copious amounts of Jack Daniels and a star studded, intimate guestlist. (Had an evil smook outside with Lady Kitty […]
Read MoreUpon arrival, Nix and I were greeted by a bevvy of Believe beauty’s that were all glammed up with crazy-ass Marie Antoinette-style hair and frosty-looking eye make-up. You can’t really get the full picture in this shot as it was a bit smoky in the club, but the effect was pretty striking. Also, they were handing out […]
Read MoreRemember that awesome Peroni yacht party that Karisa and I went to the other day? (To fill you in, the cast of soon to be launched CT-set reality show, Clifton Shores, were also there too… KP and I merrily filled in as bikini-clad extras…) Anyhoo, I see they’ve now slapped a (super long) promo for […]
Read MoreAs you know, my beautiful Karis Piss is off on a solo tour of Italy. Girl’s been gone for over three weeks now and I miss her madly. Still, I’m really enjoying reading her bloggetjie. Had absolutely no idea she could write and thought she was only ever good for holding back my hair when […]
Read MoreOMG! I Just walked past Les’ desk (she’s the deputy ed for Clicks ClubCard, we’re in the same office) and spotted The Most ‘Whorendous’ Fashion Accessory Ever… Essentially, its a set of clear bra straps with li’l mock tattoos on them. Can you belieeeve it?! Just when you thought that clear bra straps just couldn’t […]
Read MoreWow! Wow! Wow! I logged on to News24 this morning and read a column about how TV presenter Nonhle Thema, the face of Dark & Lovely, has gone absolutely mal… Girl’s on some crazy-ass Charlie Sheen-style ego trip. The piece included a link to her twitter stream, which I have open as I type. You can […]
Read MoreMy mate Omesh hit the big three-two last week and celebrated with a ‘Prawn Fiesta’ lunch that got seriously outta hand… Dude cooked up a whackload of prawns in a spicy, creamy sauce and laid out a seriyas spread that would’ve made Martha Stuart proud. Still, despite having been one of those chef/presenter type of […]
Read MoreIf you’re a die hard lip gloss addict like me, you’ll know about Makeupalley.com Aside from being a great spot to find cosmetic reviews from seriyas beauty diehards, it also helps facilitate make-up swapping. To swap, all you need to do is create a list of all the make-up goodies you own, but don’t want […]
Read MoreHave any of you been to Blakes Bar? If not, pop round after work one day. It’s a nice little spot in Buitengracht street that’s set on three levels, so you can have dinner on one of them and them clamber up the stairs to the bar for a bit of a jol in their Late Night […]
Read MoreHeard about My Gold Heart? It’s one of the hottest, ‘it’ necklaces on the block right now, but one you can feel extra good about buying ‘cos it’s ‘an accessory with a conscience’. You see, aside from looking gorgeous around your neck, this 24K gold-dipped heart has a purpose; to act as a physical reminder to be […]
Read MoreLast night I popped into the launch party for Petticoat Parlour, a gorgeous new retro-style beauty parlour in Green Point. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, the whole place takes its style inspiration from the 50’s. Because I’m a sucker for a theme, I decided to curl my hair, wear it in a side parting and […]
