Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
If you follow international beauty trends you’ll know all about BB cream; it’s like the Birkin bag of beauty products in that every girl seems to wants one. Still, despite being inundated with hype, many of you don’t know what a BB cream really is, so let me break it down for you; a BB cream or ‘blemish […]
Read MoreGot zero leave due? Have a wallet full of till slips and 10 cent coins? Haunted by a pesky criminal record that’ll dash your hopes of a visa? (Hey, I’m not judging… if he cheated on you with your hot best friend that bastard got what he deserved…) Whatever it is that might be preventing […]
Read MoreWant to kick off the long weekend with a dash o’ awesomeness? Cafe Caprice in Camps Bay is running a killer champagne special. As of this week, every Friday sees you and your chicas getting a glass of bottomless Boschendal bubbly for just R35! I have no clue how long this special will run for so if I were you I’d hustle and […]
Read MoreSo I’m back from a spoilicious trip to France. While I spent two days in Paris and another in Lille, the majority of my holiday in St. Tropez. When I have time I’ll be sure to write a bit about it but right now I’m drowning in a world of backlog and admin. As of Monday, however, you can […]
Read MoreSo the sweet peeps at Madison footwear asked me to be their ‘online ambassador’ for the month of September. *hair flick, head toss* I didn’t have to think to hard before saying ‘hells yeah!’; only stupid girls look gift shoes in the mouth, especially super cute one’s like these babies: All the above is just […]
Read MoreSally Hansen have a new nail strengthener about to hit the shelves, but before I tell you about it, let me just give you a little background in regards to nail strengtheners in general… As you know, the part of your nail that we can see is a non-living structure and thank God for that; […]
Read More…but get back on Thursday. In the meanwhile I’ve still got one or two scheduled posts that’ll pop up for you as the week goes on. Love, love Leigh
Read MoreFirst up, how awesome is Oscar Pistorius? I got to interview him years back for a Cosmo ‘sexy man’ special and remember how he stood out as one of the nicest of the bunch. (Not that it wasn’t too difficult. I remember having to use sooo much ‘creative editing’ to prevent some of the schmodel […]
Read MoreLancome Hypnose is definitely in my top five when it comes to favourite mascaras; I love how it glides on with ease and manages to create lush-looking volume but still define and lengthen at the same time. As such, I’m always excited to try out the new additions to that line, the latest being Lancome […]
Read MoreAh Shiseido… I’ve liked this brand for ages, ever since college, when all my annoyingly wealthy German friends, who were big fans, infused it such casual glamour. I remember how I’d be scratching in my purse for an old drugstore lippie in a cracked tube and they’d pull out these gorgeous-looking Shiseido powder compacts which […]
Read MoreShiseido are known for their fab foundation and the newest addition to the line, Radiant Lifting foundation, is no different in that it’s also totally awesome. Like most light reflecting foundations, it’s able to diffuse the look of imperfections but goes about it in a unique way, taking a three-pronged approach. Aside from the obligatory ‘photo smoothing pearl’ pigments, […]
Read MoreBy the time you read this, I’ll be in France with my li’l sis, Mands, who lives Lille, along with my American cousins, Elle and Van, who’ve been visiting for a whole week already. (So far I’ve missed out on an impromptu trip to Belgium and Elle’s surprise 30th that Mands threw in a beautiful old castle. A frikken castle*, ek se! Like with turrets and alles. No moat though.
