Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Hi guys I’m having suuuch connection dramz at the mo – at this rate my Queen’s Plate post will only be up by this evening. Just logging in to write this one sentence was a flippin’ mission and a half, so check back this eve or tomorrow if you want to read all about it. […]
Read MoreSo tell me… can you wear a short dress to a black tie event? I’ve been invited to the super glamorous 5 for Change charity ball and have absolutely NOTHING long and fancy to wear… stress, writhe, stress… Anyway, this is 5 for change bash in a nut shell: What is it: a fancy pants black […]
Read MoreOne of the many perks of being a beauty writer is getting to try loads of different products, often things I wouldn’t have dreamed of trying otherwise. Finding real gems is always a serious bonus, but the real test is discovering something you like enough to actually buy yourself. (Its all too easy for beauty bloggers to go ‘oooh girls, this new R1000 cream […]
Read MoreSo did you all have a rocking kersfees? Mine involved waaay too much food (damn ye pasta salad!) so I’m currently stomping the treadmill at gym so as to be able to squeeze into my mooi Queen’s Plate rokkie. I think the LQP’s budgets a bit toit this year as I’ve been given Style Lounge tickets. (Oh how the mighty […]
Read MoreRight, so I’m dunzo for the year… wishing you all a very merry kersfees and a fun safe New Year i.e. don’t be drinking and driving! I’m now off to the P of E for a little holiday with le fam (ja… wish me luck) and will be back sometime in the first week of Jan. […]
Read MoreJiiiissssuuuussss! You have NO idea as to how much my head hurts this morning. I’m totally tripping off my face on Grandpa right now, so please forgive me if this comes off as a bit of a ramble… Last night I hit up the launch of the Bungalow, a new restaurant and lounge in Clifton […]
Read MoreMy friend Nickle Pickle is always gaaning aan about her rad eco-friendly hairdresser, Jason. He uses a certified organic range called Naturalmente (you pronounce it NATURAL-MEN-TAY) that hails all the way from Italy. Their products are 100% natural and use pure aromatherapy oils cultivated from plants that are free of pesticides and petrochemical fertilizers. Also, their goodies don’t contain any formaldehyde, parabens, sodium sauryl sulphate […]
Read MoreThe sweethearts at Indigo Cosmetics (they represent beauty brands like Yardley, Rimmel and Sally Hansen among others) dropped off a little pressie at my flat yesterday. Check it out: I’m very excited to get stuck into the box and will be sure to let you know about my favourites in the New Year. Thank you Indigo girls, you […]
Read MoreI’m a big Bourjois fan. If you’ve got blue eyes like me you HAVE to give their Metallise metallic eye liner in Brun Inoxydable a bash. It’s an uber-creamy bronze-coloured shade that makes your eyes POP! I much prefer it over wearing black which generally looks too harsh when teamed with my pale complexion and […]
Read MoreDespite being a wicked little girl (one who goes to bed without taking off her make-up and merrily drives up people’s asses), I’ve yet to find a lump of coal in my stocking. In fact, I’ve been rather spoiled, particularly by INGLOT, Accessorize and La Senza. (Yip, they’re all part of the same group in […]
Read MoreThe L’Ormarin’s Queen’s Plate, on the 7th of Jan, is almost upon us. Tickets are still up for grabs and available from Webtickets. A Style Lounge ticket will set you back R250. This includes a race card and you’ll also get to take in the evening’s entertainment. The artist for next year’s event (feels so weird […]
Read MoreSo there’s a new club in town called The Loop. I was invited to check it out after the Kluk launch so I popped in for a bit with a few friends. To be honest, I don’t think I’m the spot’s target market (i.e. its a bit of a younger crowd) and I felt supremely old bitching about […]
