Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
POND’S has given their two main ranges; Flawless Radiance and Age Miracle a bit of a make-over. Both lines have had new products added into the mix, formula’s have changed and the packaging’s been changed to match what’s being sold overseas. To prevent this post from being a super long ramble, however, I’m only going to […]
Read MoreSo I had a mean bubblegum craving the other day and thought I’d treat myself to a seriously big ass Chappie. Check it out: Okay, okay, so it’s not actually a Chappie… it’s a box full of them! The best bit, however, is the wrapper: Why thank you Chappies! I’m so flattered that you’d deem […]
Read MoreRemember that I received a whopload of Essence and Catrice goodies the other day? Well I’ve had time to play around with them and thought I’d fill you in on my favourites. First up we’ve got this super adorable mini lipgloss set, R34,95: I’ve now disassembled it and have a mini gloss living in each of my […]
Read MoreIf you’re into Tommy Hilfiger’s Hilfiger Woman, you’re going to be glad to hear it’s just popped a flanker in the form of Hilfiger Woman Peach Blossom. Note-wise, they haven’t just tweaked a few top notes but created an entirely new scent. Where the original Woman was all about citrus, white florals and vanilla; Woman […]
Read MoreI like to play around with different nail colours but always end up coming back to these three; Essie Exotic Liras, Essie Splash of Grenadine and Yardley Stayfast nail polish in Romantic Ruby (R54,95). Years ago when I was looking for the perfect Tom Ford rooi it totally fit the bill and I’m still hooked on the […]
Read MoreIn the last little while I’ve got to try some seriously kak products, none of which will be getting a mention here. I started to feel a little bleak actually, but then along came two serious little gems that were like a ray of sunshine, proving the world wasn’t completely awash with dodgy collagen-infused drinks and moisturisers riddled with ethanol. […]
Read MoreOkay, so first up, how’s that for a crappy title, right? You don’t have to tell me, I totally know.. but it’s all about SEO so forgive me, okay? Anyway, moving on… Remember how I wrote about The Spa Shop (www.thespashop.co.za) the other day? (The post is over here.) Since then, their brand offering has pretty much doubled and they […]
Read MoreLast week NIVEA were kind enough to send me a huge hulking box of their goodies. As a result, I’m now inspired to start one of those ‘end of the world’ bunkers where you can safely store up a bunch of staples off which to survive. After all, the Mayans did say we weren’t going to […]
Read MoreSo let’s talk brows… Being blonde mine are rather light. I should totally dye them a little bit but I’m just too scared. The past two therapist who’ve tried somehow managed to turn them a hectique shade of black, causing my boyfriend to refer to me as ‘li’l Mexican muchacho’. Fun times. As a result, I rely […]
Read MoreYesterday I attended a Ponds/Vaseline launch at the 12 Apostles hotel. Aside from a delish lunch, I got to learn more about Vaseline’s new and improved body care range as well as the new goodies that have been added to Pond’s Age Miracle and Flawless Radiance ranges. I’ll be chatting about the latter in another […]
Read MoreLast week Clouds, she of And Lollipops, and I attended the launch of a new Southern suburbs restaurant, Josephine’s Cookhouse, in Boundary Road in Newlands, just next to SAB Breweries. It’s actually in the historic Josephine’s Mill building but has gotten a little make-over to give it a warm, cosy, casual feel, making it the type […]
Read MorePUMA have just added two new fragrances to their line up; PUMA Yellow for girls and PUMA Green for boys. Both scents are rather summery and have taken inspiration from the island mon; Jamaica. A ‘sparkling’ only slightly fruity-floral, PUMA Yellow’s official notes are bergamot, apple, magnolia, rose, violet, freesia, orris, sandalwood and cedar. All I can really pick […]
