Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
I love a good cream eye shadow and am still mourning the loss of Benefit’s Creaseless Cream shadow/liner in Busy Signal, the perfect shade of bronze. Max Factor, however, have launched fantastic formula called Excess Shimmer (R129,95, exclusive to Clicks). Each shade promises to stay put for hours and really does as promised. In fact, […]
Read MoreWhen local hot styling tools brand Veaudry offered to send me their iStyler (R1 190, retailbox.co.za), I didn’t quite click until it arrived that it was a mini travel styler. Being an ungrateful cow who receives far too many things my first thought was ‘Oh. What could you ever achieve with this boy? Thank God, […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I’m a massive fan of retinol. Much the same way your body needs several vitamins to function, your skin needs multiple ingredients to live it’s best life BUT, if I haaaad to pick just one to really invest in, it would always be retinol. A potent form of […]
Read MoreOkay, so we all know I’m having a love affair with Pigalle right now. Their seafood platter special (R495 for two) is the shizzle’s nizzle and every time someone tells me they gave it a bash and was totally blown away I totally get off on being all ‘I know, right?! I totally told you […]
Read MoreA little back myself and two beauty besties, Lauren from Dearheart Beauty and Emmy from Rouge Beauty popped into Dreamnails in Cavendish to grab a quick Dream Pedicure (R225). I’m not sure when it happened but the store’s clearly had a makeover. I was also impressed with their huge colour and brand selection. OPI, Essie, […]
Read MoreLast weekend I was invited to hit up Sun City with a bunch of media peeps, zooming in on SA Express’s new flight. Yep, no more driving, chicas! You can nip right into Pilanesberg from either Jozi (40 mins!) or Cape Town (1 hour, 20 mins). Do it! Do it! Do it! Book your flight […]
Read MoreOk, let’s get straight into it – there’s a cluster of big name international brands that are all having a serious blow out sale that starts tomorrow. Are you ready for this? River Island, Dune, Lucky Brand, Calvin Klein, Tom Tailor, Salsa, Jigsaw, Lipsy, Express and Vince Camuto are all running a promotion where, if […]
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but I was a very fortunate child, attending a fancy pants li’l junior school where we all wore spiffy uniforms and felt extremely hard done by if our tuck shop had the gall to run dry of chocolate Steri-Stumpi. If that happened, it was The End of the World. And […]
Read MoreA while back I agreed to participate in Pantene’s blogger trial which meant using Full & Thick for a month. Many of Pantene’s new formula now contains a ‘blocker’ to protect against the damaging effects of the minerals in tap water that I’ve covered over here. I didn’t refer to that in the video as […]
Read MoreLast week a number of goodies crossed my desk including this boy who really impressed me. It makes use of micelles (lipid molecules) as well as antioxidant vitamin E and soothing Camellia oil to take off sommer anything in two quick strokes. In fact, you could pretty much smear car battery oil all over your […]
Read MoreBeing a (good) dad is hard work. I know this ‘cos I was one of two daughter’s bestowed upon my dear, old dad who basically came of age in a house full of strong-willed, occasionally hysterical females who relegated him to a life of always having to be the green My Little Pony that nobody […]
Read MoreA while back I was taken on a whirlwind media tour through Franschhoek to prove that the gorgeous little town doesn’t fall asleep in winter. That’s there’s still lots to do and yes, it’s just as pretty when it’s covered by a few clouds. Now between you and me, I already know this. Franschhoek is […]
