Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week I ran a ModelCo competition and the lucky winner was Joani Visser. She got to take two of her mates to the ModelCo make-up bag makeover eveing at Canal Walk and they all got treated to a ModelCo travel bag filled with lots and lots of product. Congrats babe, I hope you had fun! […]
Read MoreMy friend Lara has snake-like hips, a concave belly and the kinda ass you could bounce R2 coins off of. I often invite my darling boyfriend to join ‘the girls’ for supper, but he’d much rather stay in and eat in front of the TV… until he hears that Lara’s joining us. I think this is because she’s got such a ‘nice personality’. Heheheh… Anyway, La’s been going to […]
Read MoreCan’t tell you how proud I am of my beloved Karis Piss… chica recently modelled in a concept shoot for something she’s not allowed to talk about just yet. I can, however, show off the piccies. Take a look: For more KP hotness, go check out the rest of the shots on her bloggetjie, My Love Affair with […]
Read MoreSo as not to look like a dead animal for the Loerie’s party circuit (woop, woop!), I decided to use my Acquizhen Rebalancing mask, R550. The thing I love most about this sweet li’l pick-me-up treat? It’s fun to use! You simply pop one of the little squished up fleece masks (it looks like a large white pill) into […]
Read MoreLast week I hit up the Cosmo Lingerie party held at the Upper Eastside Hotel in Woodstock. I nearly didn’t make it ‘cos I was riddled with flu and had limbs that felt like heavy sacks of cement, but I klapped a few Corenza’s and dragged myself off to the show. Still, I’m sooo glad I pulled it […]
Read MoreEarlier today, Giatjie and I popped into the Look & Feel Good expo. It was a fun way to spend the morning and we enjoyed browsing over 200 stalls that focused on health, beauty and wellness. The Ponds peeps had a HUGE display. It was there that we got a sample of their new spot-corrector, Flawless Radiance […]
Read MoreLast week I got invited to have tea at The Cellars Hohenhort hotel with The Body Shop’s international make-up artist Karim Sattar. Despite having worked for big deal glossies like Vogue and prettied up Oscar-winning actresses that he won’t name, Karim’s a superfriendly down-to-earth sweetheart. After a quick meet and greet, we got stuck into the most sinfully […]
Read MoreI have two mad (yet awesome) aunts who’ve both fought breast cancer and won, so the battle against the big C is a bit of a ‘thing’ for me. Still, despite all this, I’m far too pathethic and riddled with insecurities to shave off my hair as a show of support. I’m definitely not as brave as they are. On the upside, […]
Read MoreThe other day I got invited to Clicks’ spring beauty launch. I just looove going to Clicks functions ‘cos they always put out an awesome spread (think mini cupcakes and smoked salmon sarmies) and send you home with a regte sak of beauty booty. Seriously. Like they literally filled a Revlon beach bag with enough spoilage […]
Read MoreSikkeling with dark spots? Ponds’ Flawless Radiance collection promises to help lighten them up thanks to a vitamin B3/niacinamide complex. (Interestingly, vitamin B3 can also help treat acne ‘cos it’s a good anti-inflammatory… ) Anyhoo, I haven’t tried the Flawless Radiance range, so I can’t tell you whether it works or not, but I do know […]
Read MoreThe other day I had lunch with the lovely ladies from Cosmetiques de France and got up close and personal with their magnifique beauty brands; some very new to SA like Nuxe and Erborian, (which is actually from Korea), as well as those we know and love – like Bourjois, Bioderma and Uriage. Naturally macaroons were involved (oui! oui!), but I most enjoyed the […]
Read MoreLooking for something to do with your girlfriends? Want to score points with the mother-in-law? Head on down to the Style Society’s High Style event taking place at the Nitida wine estate in Durbanville on Saturday, the 17th. (Yes, yes… its a bit of a schlep to get out there if you’re a city girl like me, but this […]
