Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week saw the opening of Tommy Hilfiger’s new flagship store at the V&A Waterfront. Being a Little Black Book event, you can imagine it was a smorgasboard of who’s who, free-flowing cocktails and canapes that include the yummiest, most fluffiest mini cheesecake I’ve had in ages. The brand’s been using basset hounds in their ads for a while now […]
Read MoreMarlinette Newman is a rad local make-up artist who’s recently started making her own make-up tutorial videos. I thought I’d whore her out on my blog a bit as I kind of owe her one. Ages back I had to put together a shoot for a mag on how to ensure your eye make-up best flatters your […]
Read MoreScrew the 5 Gum Experience. I mean, who wants to have to shuffle around with a bunch of scruffy underage kids and wait hours for a bus to remove you from their über cool ‘mystery location’?

Read MoreIn the summer time my personal style’s as fickle as the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. In winter, however, I pretty much only wear black, grey and animal print peppered with chunky gold accessories plus attention-seeking rooi lips and nails. In a nutshell, my winter style icon is none other than Cruella freakin’ Deville. Having a uniform, […]
Read MoreRight! Topshop’s finally opened it’s doors in Cape Town, specifically at the V&A Waterfront. You have no idea as to how much build up and excitement revolved around this launch. I had die-hard fashion friends literally offering to pay me to take me along as their plus one to this event but, alas, being the […]
Read MoreOkay, so how much do we love Stila? Their eye shadows are the stuff of legend and their Perfect & Correct foundations is absolutely fabulous. Today, however, I want to fill you in on the brand’s new Colour Balm lipstick. I got to pick my own colour (thanks Kirsty!) and opted for Betsey as I’m a freak for […]
Read MoreWoolworths has a brand new in-house make-up line in store. I’m not sure what to call it as it doesn’t seem to have a name but each item has the word ‘about’ in it’s title. I.e. ‘About The Pout High Pigment lipgloss and ‘Wink About It Eye Trio’. The range caters for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails and offers […]
Read MoreSo it was my birthday the other day (okay, okay, so it was like a month ago) and the sweet peeps at Nimue SA sent me a li’l gift in the form of their Exfoliating Enzyme treatment. My flatmate almost started hyperventilating when it arrived as she’s a freak for Nimue and has been using […]

Read MoreLocal online fashion store Indiemode recently whipped up a list of their top ten fashion blogs and I was thrilled to nab the number one spot.
