Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week I was lucky enough to attend an intimate li’l Mama Mio gathering at Ellerman House in Camps Bay. Have you been there? My God, its sooo beautiful! Over canapes and Earl Grey, I got to chat to Sian Sutherland, one of the founders of Mama Mio skin care, and learn more about the brand’s philosophy which is […]
Read MoreI’ve never been a James Bond fan. The films I’ve seen in the past were, in a word, boring. Skyfall, however, is ridiculously, fabulously good. Seriously. Like, don’t ask any questions, okay? Just trust me and book your bloody ticket. Skyfall is not your typical mindless skop, skiet and donner. It’s slick, sexy, witty and […]
Read MoreClicks has a whole host of exciting new beauty goodies that are either new on shelf or just about to drop. They sent me a box of them the other day and, having played around with the lot, thought I’d tell you about my favourites. First up, I’m very excited that fab self-tan brand St […]
Read MoreDue to the amount of launches I go to, I’m lucky enough to spend time in all sorts of pretty places. One of the nicest I’ve been to in ages, however, has to be the Tintswalo Atlantic in Hout Bay. Looky, looky… This ridiculously beautiful spot was where Coverderm held a product launch and spoiled us (disgustingly […]
Read MoreNIVEA’s revamped their Daily Essentials facial skin care range and divivied it up into three lines; Ocean Algae for combination and oily skin, Vitamin E for normal and combination skin and Almond Oil for dry and sensitive skin. The new packaging’s a lot more mod-looking (God, how much do you hate that word? ‘Mod’!) and […]
Read MoreGood news chicas; aside from mooi rokkies, 36boutiques are now selling beauty goodies too. Their brands include Bourjois, Bioderma (who do the best freakin’ make-up remover on God’s green earth ), and Stila, which is new to SA. If you’re not familiar with that brand just yet, check out my post on it over here […]
Read MoreEveryone knows what a Louis Ghost is, right? For those who don’t, it’s Philippe Starck’s gorgeous retake on a classic Louis XV-style chair for Italian furniture designers Kartell. I’ve always thought they make a great dining room chair in either minimalistic mostly white apartments or teamed up with more rustic-looking shizz like this farm house-style table: […]
Read MoreClicks ClubCard magazine needed an example of a Glamour Girl for their Christmas gift guide. Obviously, I was like the first person that sprung to mind. Like obviously… I suppose I’ll know I’ve only really made it when people learn to spell my freakin’ name right. Love, love Leigh
Read MoreWhat did I say about every single brand on God’s green earth is going to bring out a BB cream? Hey?! Was I right or was I right? The force is, like, uber-strong with that particular beauty trend… In fact, overseas, they’re now starting to see the emergence of something called a CC cream! Anyway, […]
Read MoreI’ve always known that Shiseido do fragrances but I’ve never smelled one; limited edition Zen Secret Bloom is my first and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Every time I’ve spritzed it on I’ve had someone ask me what I’m wearing; it’s not exactly a loud-type of kind of scent (think Angel) but it is strong enough for people to […]
Read MoreAm I like the only girl in the whole bloody universe who hasn’t seen the Twilight movies? I just don’t understand the appeal of that miserable-looking girl and her difficult choice between Pale Face and Wolf Boy. I mean seriously girls, why aren’t there any hot zexy men in that flick? I don’t understand it. […]
Read MoreSee? They’ve stuck my gesiggie on their Facebook page along with some of my top summer beauty tips: Just about every brand has a Facebook page right now and most of them are utterly craptastic. Five Roses, however, clearly have someone who’s on the ball editing theirs ‘cos it’s actually kinda absorbing. You can check it […]
