Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
The other day I interviewed Lieschen Botes regarding her can’t-live-without-them cosmetics for Huisgenoot and YOU and I see the piece has finally made it to the shelves.

Clouds was the perfect date for this particular event as she’s absolutely OBSESSED with skoene and one of the few girls I know who actually owns a pair of Louboutins. Guests included Tori from Kiss, […]
