Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Ah Clinique… I’ve been a fan of their make-up since high school and consider High Impact mascara to be one of the best money can buy. Their long-wearing Superfit foundation was also amazing and I’m still kinda traumatised that they discontinued it. Oooh! And let’s not forget about their True Bronze facial bronzing gel! It’s been a few […]
Read MoreLast week darling Lizzy from Freebees PR sent me an LCN lip gloss to review. (For those of you who don’t know, LCN is a German brand that mostly specialises in nail products.) This is LCN’s lip gloss in Golden Rosewood. It retails for R140 and can be found in selected salons across the country: …and without… Golden […]
Read MoreOh! My! God! The Body Shop’s new Chocomania range has finally hit SA shores – just in time for V-Day – and its EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. Sweet, but not sickening and fabulously chocolatey, but not in a synthetic ‘plasticky’ way. It’s also subtle enough to wear to work without making those averse to […]
Read MoreThe other day the sweet peeps at African Sales Co sent me a bottle of Christina Aguilera’s newest perfume, Secret Potion, and went all out in regards to the press release. Just take a look at all the shizz it came with: Naturally, I was thrilled ‘cos a) I’m a slet for free swag and […]
Read MoreHaven’t got your tickets to the Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo yet? Make a plan girls… it all goes down on the 25th of February (a Saturday) at the Val de Vie estate in Paarl. For me, last year’s highlights included getting to stalk Ryk Neethling… …and this ENORMOUS tower o’ cheese: Being super-exclusive, tickets don’t come cheap (they’re […]
Read MoreYesterday evening Karisa and I popped into Scalini’s exclusive l’il roof top soiree… The bash was held to celebrate the arrival of their new summer stock which often comes in a bit late as the owners, Sasha Aleksic and Preeti Kapoor, get their pieces in the moment they’re available in Europe. (This way you can be assured you’re getting the freshest designer fashion […]
Read MoreIf you missed out on MAC’s Wonderwoman collection and are craving a little comics-inspired zing for your make-up bag keep an eye out for Essence’s limited edition Whoom boooom! collection. (I know… adorbs, right?) The whole range is riddled with cutesy cartoon-style graphics and the colours are interesting and fresh yet still very wearable. Check it out: Whoom booom […]
Read MoreFor those of you who don’t know, Scalini is a gorgeous li’l boutique in the Cape Quarter. They stock loads of zexy European brands like MaxMara, Sergio Rossi and Malvin. They’re holding a little champers drenched roof top soiree tomorrow evening to show off their new resort and swimwear collection. Sure it’s going to be […]
Read MoreSo last night I got to attend the 5 for Change black tie charity ball. Unlike Cinderalla, I don’t have a tream of singing dancing vermin at my disposal to help me pull off le glam, so I relied on a Crest tooth whitening strip, copious amounts of ModelCo Tan Mousse and a curling iron. […]
Read MoreHey girls! I’m getting tweets from a few of you saying you’re struggling to enter the Brutal Fruit comp ‘cos when you click the window just opens and then you ‘can’t click on the image’. It’s ‘cos once that page opens, you’ve got to SCROLL DOWN to get to the entry form. Sorry about that; I […]
Read MoreOMG! I’m sooo impressed with Forever 21. (America’s version of Mr. P.) It’s now become this full on addiction and Karisa and I spend all our time trawling the site for awesomeness, creating huge wish lists, ordering up a storm… If you’re a regular reader, you’ll remember that we ordered a bunch of stuff from the […]
Read MoreI have a bit of an issue with toners in that, for the most part, I think they’re a little unnecessary. You actually don’t really haaaave to use one, but many beauty houses would have you believe otherwise. (Medicated toners, however, are a different story; i.e. those that have loads of BHA/salicylic acid in them are fab for blackhead busting…) But ja, getting […]
