Being a zexy shade of albino, I’m a total freak for self-tan. I’ve tried just about every brand on the shelf but celebrity favourite St. Tropez had eluded me. I finally got to give it a bash the other day when their self-tanning mousse was sent my way: Application-wise, using this baby was a breeze. […]

Beyonce’s got a new perfume on the shelves and this time it’s not a flanker of her super popular Heat; it’s an all new scent called Pulse. The bottle’s inspired by her ‘out there’ concert outfits and it’s supposed to stand ‘upside down’, as such. I didn’t get this initially and had been standing it […]

It’s been raining mascara… Just last week I tried one that was too kak to mention and two that were rather nice. The first (nice one!) I’m going to chat about is L’Oreal Lash Architect 4D, R195. In regards to the ‘texture’, the formula contains lots of teensy little fibres that attach to your lash to make it look a little more voluminous. Thing is, I […]

I’d never heard of 2True cosmetics before but was glad to discover them at a Clicks’ media launch the other day. As it turns out, they’re a budget British brand that first launched in Superdrug but has done so well, they’re expanding across the globe. What makes them so fabulous is that they’re super duper inexpensive and […]

So the darlings at Fairlady sent me a free copy of their new April issue. It’s cover features a radiant-looking Meryl Streep who’s now in her 60’s but still has skin that looks no worse than mine after a wild night o’ boozing it up and passing out in my make-up: They’re super excited ‘cos they’re busy raking in entries* […]

Being the spoiled cow you love to hate (or simply despise sommer net so), I received the full line up of Pureology’s Perfect 4 Platinum range. My hairdresser, Andret at Mooi, is crazy about Pureology as it’s got an anti-fade complex that helps keep your hair’s colour looking salon fresh. Formula-wise, the shampoos are sulphate-free […]

Before the month is over a new range cosmetic pencils called Smudge will soon be exclusive to Clicks. I got to play with a few of them at a launch and was blown away by the brand’s sheer variety. They’ve got felt tip, liquid, khol and retractable (mechanical) eye liners, creamy textured gel eye and […]

Are you a fan of Kim Kardashian’s fragrances? If you buy either 50ml bottle or larger, you can snap up a free metallic purple tote:  Stock of the bag is limited, so if you want one, you’d best get on down to your nearest Foschini, Edgars or Truworths super fast. Love, love Leigh P.S. Just so you know, Kim’s bringing out […]

Bloody hell… it seems just about anyone and anything can get their/its own fragrance nowadays. For example, did you know that the Pope might be getting his own scent? Or that Burger King has its own cologne… and Piers Morgan is the ‘face’?! Anyway, another brand getting in on the action is Zippo. Yip, like […]

One of the goodies that Clicks spoiled me with the other day was a Vidal Sasoon Hydra Gloss hair straigtener, R300. I was a little slow in getting round to using it as I’m going through a bit of a ‘waves’ phase at the mo, but after hearing all the other beauty editors rave about it’s fabulosity, I […]

Big into ‘body’? I think you’ll like L’Oreal’s ELVIVE Volume Collagen range. I was given the shampoo to try and like that it’s nice and light-weight, as are most volumising hair products. This one, however, won’t leave your hair feeling dry or over-stripped. Instead, it works along with the conditioner to plump up each of your strands with a ‘soluble collagen’. (For the […]
