Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Burberry fans, prick up your ears – the brand’s just launched a new fragrance called My Burberry, a fresh-smelling floral. The packaging was inspired by the iconic Burberry trench coat so you’ll notice that the cap looks a lot like one of the buttons and the little bow around the neck is knotted the same […]
Read MoreSo let’s talk about toothpaste! (And please stay with me people – it gets pretty interesting, I promise.) I was asked by Oral-B to trial their new Pro-Expert fluoride toothpaste (R35). It promises to protect your gums as well as your teeth and enamel against cavities, sensitivity, plaque and tartar. It also claims it’ll help […]
Read MoreLet’s call a spade a spade – most drugstore foundations are a ball of crap. I mean, sure, you get your exceptions, Bourjois Healthy Mix being one of them, but for the most part they’re not especially awesome, which is why I’m surprised and thrilled to discover L’Oreal’s NutriLift Gold (R199,95). So, why do I […]
Read MoreIf you’re currently banting in a desperate bid to not look kak in a bikini, you might’ve come across kale chips. I’ve found them at Wellness Warehouse and love them to bits but totally hate the price. (Around R60 for a teensy little bag that I’d klap before even getting back to my suburb, let […]
Read MoreSmashbox’s new Photo Finish Pore Minimizing foundation primer is the best they’ve made yet. Well, at least if you’re an oily-skinned peep like me. So many of their other primers, even the one aimed at oily skin, mattify and minimise pores beautifully in the beginning, but then somehow end up aggravating or highlighting greasy patches […]
Read MoreEarly this week The Body Shop launched a hotly anticipated new line – Wild Argan Oil – to help you get your Moroccan hammam on at home. While all the usual suspects are there – a shower gel, body butter and scrub – the range also includes a few interestingly l’il extras, namely a massage […]
Read MoreLast week I was thrilled to receive Nederburg Premiere’s new food-friendly five-pack of reds, created to celebrate the run of MasterChef South Africa. Apparently it’s airing every Thursday on M-Net at 7:30pm until 18 December. I say ‘apparently’ ‘cos I’ve got a li’l confession to make… I’m currently working as a script writer on two […]
Read MoreTanOrganic is a new self-tan line – well, new to SA, anyway, it’s been going strong in Ireland for a while now. It’s claim to fame is the fact that it’s the world’s first and only Eco-certified self-tanning brand and made using 99,6% natural ingredients, some of which are organic. It also promises to offer […]
Read MoreWhen it comes to ‘salon’ nail colours, Essie will always be my favourite. It totally pains me (in the ass) that you can’t buy the brand in Sorbet anymore – just that streaky, overpriced Morgan Taylor kak. Fortunately, you can still snap it up in Clicks and Dis-Chem which I suppose is okay ‘cos I […]
Read MoreLast night, after months and months of anticipation, I finally got to shop up a storm at the media launch Forever 21, the US fashion mega-chain that’s finally opening this Saturday in Canal Walk. Judging by all the questions that were fired at me via twitter and Instagram last night, there are things you girls […]
Read MoreSo I went on yet another Edgars shopping spree – I know, I know… it’s become a bit of a thing. I’ll be doing two more posts for them after this one and, in the last one, I’ll be giving away a R1000 Edgars fashion voucher. Nice, ne? Anyway, this time round I had bit more […]
Read MoreL’Oreal sent me a few of their new metallics-inspired goodies from their L’Or Lumiere collection. This includes the Volume Million Lashes mascara I wrote about earlier this week, a super pretty powder I’ll chat about later on and these boys down below – Colour Riche ‘Chameleon’ Mono eye shadows (R99,95 each, Clicks and Foschini). L’Oreal’s always […]
