Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
So. Are you going to go the Lady Gaga concert? I see you can’t book via Computicket unless you’ve got a 3D verified credit card. I have no idea what that means and am too lazy to google it so if anyone knows what that’s all about please fill me in. The show’s on at […]

For those of you aren’t down with le sporty types, the CPT is a gruelling seven day mountain bike race that crosses two mountain ranges, from the arid plains of the Karroo to […]
Read MoreJust the other day I received a pack of Dr. Miracle’s new Restorative treatment pack, R44,99. It’s kinda awesome in that it’s a little box containing three very generous sachets of different treatment products; an Argan Hot Oil treatment, Acai Thermal Protection Styler (a leave-in heat protection product) and Coconut Milk leave-in conditioner (another leave-in […]
Read MoreSo Revlon dropped off a not so little pakkie for me the other day. Haters, you ready to hate me even more? Here we go… Oh! There also happened to be some of Revlon’s best-selling ColorBurst Lip Butter lip colours in there too: Upon spotting Revlon’s box o’ evil, my boyfriend didn’t hesitate to make a play for the […]
Read MoreI’m not big into body mists, sprays or spritzers. To me, they’re aimed at your 12-year-old God child or destined to live in the cubby hole of le sneaky smoker. Still, I’m super excited about The Body Shop’s soon to launch Body Mists. Ever since trying their killer good Moringa Beautifying Oil, I’ve fallen crazy […]

Read MoreDo any of you girls remember L’Oreal Translucide? That was my ‘go to’ foundation in college. I loved that stuff so much that I used to buy it off eBay years after they discontinued it. When my last bottle arrived and its contents where an ashy-coloured sludge I knew it was time to give up […]

The folks at fondle say their target market are ‘guys and dolls who aren’t concerned with public perception’. Its sexy celeb ambassadors include the chicas in the piccie up above as well […]
Read MoreThe peeps at YSL are super excited about a brand new anti-aging skin care line that’s just the shelves in SA; YSL Forever Youth Liberator. Its launch caused a bit of a flurry in Europe in that many women had to put their names down on waiting lists in order to get their mitts on it. […]
Read MoreJean Paul Gaultier have just launched a new male scent called Kokorico: The bottle’s rather clever in that face-on it’s, well, a face… then when you flip it to the side you realise it’s the iconic JPG Le Male ‘dummy’ in profile. I attended the launch the other day but was having camera dramz so […]
Read MoreBack in the day we weren’t really very spoiled when it came to eye liner. You kinda had le khol eye pencil and that was that.
