I see The Body Shop has added the piccies from their recent Cape Town launch to their Facebook page. God knows why they decided to include this one in which I appear to be establishing my presence via some complicated gang signal, but it’s so fantasically horrendous I just had to share: Nice one TBS… v nice… I’ll remember […]

Max Factor’s new foundation, Ageless Elixer, (R220, exclusive to Clicks) is one of my new favourite things. Aside from offering light-weight medium coverage, it contains an SPF 15 ‘serum’ that makes use of various antioxidants like green tea and vitamin E. On top of all this, it also contains optical diffusers to help blur the appearance […]

This winter, Societi Bistro plans to take you on a 10 week tour through Italy. Each week, they’re going to have a new menu inspired by a different region in Italy.  Clouds and I popped into the restaurant on the Saturday to join in a little party they threw to celebrate the menu’s launch. Vino and […]

Came across these old Revlon ads online the other day and they brought back so many memories… I remember being 13 and having perfect skin but being only too happy to cover it up with ColorStay foundation. Owning that and at least two ColorStay lip colours was, like, the thing in my little groepie… Alas, the colours du […]

Last week myself, Clouds and Karisa popped into the official launch party for Zando, a fairly new local online fashion store stocking clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty goodies and more from both local and foreign brands. … What makes Zando awesome, however, is that they deliver directly to your door for FREE anywhere in SA with […]

The kiffness that is Emmy from Rouge wanted to know about ‘My Life in Fragrance’. It’s one of the more interesting, fun to do interviews I’ve done in a while, but I should’ve expected as much from Miss Em.  Emmy was one of the handful of beauty eds who was genuinely friendly and nice to me from the very first […]

Heard about The Spa Shop yet? It’s a South African online store that stocks a host of spa brands at prices that haven’t been hoiked up. In fact, in some cases, The Spa Shop is selling items at a better price than what I’ve seen items go for in salons! Now you don’t have to trek […]

I love Soil goodies. I dig that they’re certified organic and make use of top quality aromatherapy oils but have mod, sexy-looking packaging. They’re also proudly South African and source their ingredients locally to provide an income for communities in need. As it is, I’ve just finished a bottle of their Balancing Baobab bath oil. It’s […]

This year GUESS is turning all of 30 years old. To celebrate, they’re rolling out a new campaign featuring Claudia Schiffer, another fashion icon and one of the very first GUESS girls. They also held a little bash at their V&A store where local models showed off their new ‘capsule collection’ inspired by iconic pieces from their […]

The Body Shop invited me to a lovely li’l brekkie held in the restaurant at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. They’re going to launch some very exciting new goodies as the year rollsout and have re-focused their brand expression to ‘beauty with heart‘. Perfectly apt considering how they give back to the communities from which they source their ingredients and say no to animal testing.   […]

Earlier this month, I almost got into hysterics when I saw people moaning about not being able to find Cadbury Flake chocolate in stores. I mean, could you imagine a world where Choc 99’s came sans Flake?! If anything’s a sign of the apocalypse I’m quite sure it would be that. So ja… I was thrilled to have the […]

Last week the peeps from Expresso had me on their show as a ‘beauty expert’. Myself and the lovely Leigh-Anne Williams had a bit of a chat about multitasking women and L’Oreal Revitalift Total Repair 10, a multitasking moisturiser: I was sooo nervy about being live on TV. I kept imagining I’d be asked a question, go totally blank and then just sit there with big eyes like […]
