Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last night myself and Nickle Pickle popped into The Last Word (the most gorgeous 5-star boutique hotel in Constantia) to celebrate the first birthday of the Shelley & Harry jewellery collection as well as the launch of the new Goddess collection. The range was created by Cape Town girl Shelley Robertson who uses the Mother City as inspirasie for her […]
Read MoreRemember when I did that Sweat 1000 class the other day? Jissus, it nearly killed me. After the class, I crawled straight into bed so as to curl up in a ball and feel bleak about my unimpressive fitness levels, but then the door bell rang… The lovely peeps at INGLOT had sent me a […]
Read MorePond’s’ has really upped their game with a new anti-aging line called Age Miracle. Some of the products in the line-up are quite impressive while others are a bit so so. An example of the latter would be the Dual Eye-Therapie cream, R129,99. Packaging-wise it looks great and makes use of a divided ying-yang-style jar to house two different eye cream; a […]
Read MoreOne of the many new lines that’ll be cropping up at Clicks over the next few weeks is Amie. It’s a small skincare range aimed at young, ‘sensitive types’. I got to play with some of the goodies at a Clicks launch the other day and totally fell in love with Amie Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask. […]
Read MoreThe winner of the ELLE New Talent designer search has just been announced and what do you know, chica hails from Port Elizabeth. Secretly, I’m a bit surprised ‘cos PE’s never been a ‘fashion capital’, if you know what I mean. I remember going back home a few years back wearing skinny jeans and my old […]
Read MoreRemember that Dr. Brandt launch? I got to pick a couple of the products to try at home (spoiled, I know) and one of them was Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasian exfoliating face cream, R498. (Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow uses it once a week…) Having had in-office microdermabrasion (thanks Dr. Jakoet!) I can tell you that there aren’t any products that can replicate […]
Read MoreTo celebrate their 15 years in South Africa (has it really been that long?) Crabtree & Evelyn are going to hold another of their epic 50% off sales tomorrow. Reee! (Just so you know, this will be in store only and not online, but watch this space…) As you know, I’m a big fan of […]
Read MoreAside from lip-gloss, shoes and Toffiffee, its no secret that I’m a big fan of Hot Zexy Boys. This is why I’m so glad I live in Slaapstad ‘cos I reckon we’ve got them in spades. I’m also thrilled that our local male talent also happen to be Seriously Nice Guys. Really. I’ve had to interview loads of them along […]
Read MoreOne of the biggest perks of being a beauty blogger is being given a lot of free shizz. Most of the time it’s awesome beauty goodies which is kinda like my crack, but every now and again you get the odd offer out of left-field… a little somethin’ something’ like… (dun, dun, dun…) laser lipo! Sjoe! Naturally, my […]
Read MoreI’m slowly working my way through all the amazing goodies I was given at the Cosmetiques de France launch the other day and just have to tell you how impressed I am with Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating shampoo, R149,95 for 200mls. Phyto is a botanical hair care line that’s new to SA, but has been an […]
Read MoreThe other day I got invited to a ‘sushi networking dinner’ via Marianna Boguslavsky. As it turns out, Marianna’s an ex-PE girl like me, but now works in online marketing. She also likes to organise little get togethers where she invites an interesting mix of peeps who can swap contact details over California rolls. This was Marianna’s third […]
Read MoreOne of the myriad of beauty goodies stashed in the sakkie I received from Clicks’ spring beauty extravaganza was new Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion mascara, R129,99. This is the first Max Factor mascara I’ve tried and I’m very, very impressed. By no means does it create an effect that looks like falsies, but it does add […]
