Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
If you’re big into DIY mani’s like moi, you’ll appreciate Sally Hansen’s new line of slick-looking pro-style beauty tools. They’ll be in stores as of next month and the range includes everything you’ll need to take care of you finger and toe nails as well as three different types of tweezers. I got given these […]
Read MoreMaybelline’s got a new mascara on the shelves, a flanker for the super popular The Colossal Volum’ Express called The Colossal Volum’ Express Cat Eyes, R114,95. It promises to deliver serious volume and, thanks to a ‘claw brush’, extend lashes outwards in a sexy cat-like flick. Also, its formula includes collagen which is becoming a popular […]
Read MoreHave you girls discovered Pure Romance yet? If not, go check out their website right now! (Don’t worry, if you click on it, it’ll open up in a separate window). They’re the fastest growing woman-to-woman direct sellers of ‘intimacy aids’ in the country and that’s easy to understand if you visit their online store. I LOVE how their look and […]
Read MoreJust so you know, Vo5 is running a competition called The Art of Stylin’. If you win, you could walk away with a grand prize worth R50K.

Read MoreJust Skin in Green Point called me up the other day as they needed a test monkey on which to demo a Lamelle Alpha peel. I didn’t know too much about it at the time but didn’t hesitate to say yes. I’ve been popping in at Just Skin for a while and they’re very good at what they do. […]
Read MoreEvery now and again along comes a product that makes you go ‘Jislaaaaik!’ Scott Cornwall Str8 Ahead is one of them. The other day I was sent a box of Scott Cornwall Str8 Forward, a semi-permanent hair straightening kit that can help straighten out your locks for up to three months. Initially, I struggled to find a willing test […]
Read MoreYum, yum, yum… I’ve always loved the smell of almonds. Just the other day I went through a phase where I was obsessed with eating sugared ones and had to wean myself off them, for the sake of my ass, due to their crazy kiljoule content… Merrily, I can still sort of revel in almond madness thanks to […]
Read MoreMeet Matt. Matt is one of my good guy friends. We met at Red & Yellow and both studied copywriting. I’m a lucky girl in that I have quite a few really lovely ‘male friends’. The kind who offer good ‘guy perspective’ advice and know you far too well to ever want to fiddle with you when you […]
Read MoreWhenever I think of Decleor, I’m reminded of a particular horrendous girl I used to live with while doing a gap year in London. She owned a couple of Decleor products and was so paranoid about my possibly dipping into them that she’d keep them in her handbag and take them to work with her. (For the record, I […]
Read MoreThe other day TRESemme totally spoiled me with a few of their bestselling hair care goodies: Of the three shampoo and conditioner variants they sent me; Moisture Rich, Thermal Recovery and Colour Revitalising, I decided to give the first two a bash. While I do colour my hair, I’ve never really worried about it fading because […]
Read MoreThis week I got to play with Rimmel’s new Scandal’eyes mascara, R89,95. It’s the second Rimmel mascara I’ve trialled in the last little while; just the other day I reviewed their 2-wands-in-one Glam’Eyes which you can read all about over here. First impressions? The bright orange tube isn’t the chicest in that it reminds me of […]
Read MoreThe other day I attended a Twilight-themed get together at the Pepper Club hotel on Loop hosted by the peeps from Eclipse PR. (They’ve got quite a few beauty-related clients including Pantene, Wella and Scott Cornwall.) Still, getting up and putting on my glam-face was a bit of a mission that morning as I’d virtually drowned in […]
