Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Before the month is over a new range cosmetic pencils called Smudge will soon be exclusive to Clicks. I got to play with a few of them at a launch and was blown away by the brand’s sheer variety. They’ve got felt tip, liquid, khol and retractable (mechanical) eye liners, creamy textured gel eye and […]
Read MoreAre you a fan of Kim Kardashian’s fragrances? If you buy either 50ml bottle or larger, you can snap up a free metallic purple tote: Stock of the bag is limited, so if you want one, you’d best get on down to your nearest Foschini, Edgars or Truworths super fast. Love, love Leigh P.S. Just so you know, Kim’s bringing out […]
Read MoreBloody hell… it seems just about anyone and anything can get their/its own fragrance nowadays. For example, did you know that the Pope might be getting his own scent? Or that Burger King has its own cologne… and Piers Morgan is the ‘face’?! Anyway, another brand getting in on the action is Zippo. Yip, like […]
Read MoreOne of the goodies that Clicks spoiled me with the other day was a Vidal Sasoon Hydra Gloss hair straigtener, R300. I was a little slow in getting round to using it as I’m going through a bit of a ‘waves’ phase at the mo, but after hearing all the other beauty editors rave about it’s fabulosity, I […]
Read MoreBig into ‘body’? I think you’ll like L’Oreal’s ELVIVE Volume Collagen range. I was given the shampoo to try and like that it’s nice and light-weight, as are most volumising hair products. This one, however, won’t leave your hair feeling dry or over-stripped. Instead, it works along with the conditioner to plump up each of your strands with a ‘soluble collagen’. (For the […]
Read MoreMy April Ruby Box arrived (thanks guys, I love you too!) and it’s a real goodie. Check it out: Aside from a full size Piz Buin In Sun lotion worth R180, you’ll also score very generous samples of Prevage Day and Night Anti-aging creams and a 1ml trial vial of Versace’s new Yellow Diamond fragrance. I’m so glad I got to sample […]
Read MoreSally Hansen have just introduced a new line of nail colours along with a top coat; Diamond Strength No-chip nail colour. Each colour (including the top coat) is infused with real micro-diamonds, platinum and aluminium to deliver a super shiny mani that promises to remain rock hard for a full ten days. While I’m big on red, […]
Read MoreRing ring… ring ring… Karisa’s on the phone… she wants to tell you about Alexander Bar, a hot new spot in Strand Street. If you go, try the French 74 champagne cocktail… it’s delish. X x x
Read MoreWild Olive, for those of you who don’t know, is a Cape Town-based bath and body range created with natural and organic African botanicals. Every now and again they launch a limited edition collection like their new Table Mountain collection: They all come packaged in handcrafted porcelain jars (while the soap comes with a dish) that […]
Read MoreYardley have added three new metallic shades to their very popular retractable eye pencil line: Each pencil is creamy and soft yet the colour it serves up is highly pigmented with good staying power. I quite like the silver shade and discovered that, when worn on the your inner lower lash line, it can help brighten up tired-looking eyes much […]
Read MoreMuch like Chanel number 5 and Guerlain Shalimar, Boucheron Femme is one of those truly ‘iconic’ fragrances. In fact, it’s such a larger than life type of scent that Luca Turin, author of Perfumes The A to Z guide*, refers to it as the ‘Athena Nike of all floral orientals’. As it’s rather loud and unmistakable […]
Read MoreHere’s hoping your long weekend is super relaxing and jam-packed with choccie! Mwah, Leigh P.S. If you happen to spot a rogue Aero Mint Lamb, herd it into your tummy immediately. It’s sooo worth the kilojoules… X x x
