Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
The winner of the ELLE New Talent designer search has just been announced and what do you know, chica hails from Port Elizabeth. Secretly, I’m a bit surprised ‘cos PE’s never been a ‘fashion capital’, if you know what I mean. I remember going back home a few years back wearing skinny jeans and my old […]
Read MoreRemember that Dr. Brandt launch? I got to pick a couple of the products to try at home (spoiled, I know) and one of them was Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasian exfoliating face cream, R498. (Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow uses it once a week…) Having had in-office microdermabrasion (thanks Dr. Jakoet!) I can tell you that there aren’t any products that can replicate […]
Read MoreTo celebrate their 15 years in South Africa (has it really been that long?) Crabtree & Evelyn are going to hold another of their epic 50% off sales tomorrow. Reee! (Just so you know, this will be in store only and not online, but watch this space…) As you know, I’m a big fan of […]
Read MoreAside from lip-gloss, shoes and Toffiffee, its no secret that I’m a big fan of Hot Zexy Boys. This is why I’m so glad I live in Slaapstad ‘cos I reckon we’ve got them in spades. I’m also thrilled that our local male talent also happen to be Seriously Nice Guys. Really. I’ve had to interview loads of them along […]
Read MoreOne of the biggest perks of being a beauty blogger is being given a lot of free shizz. Most of the time it’s awesome beauty goodies which is kinda like my crack, but every now and again you get the odd offer out of left-field… a little somethin’ something’ like… (dun, dun, dun…) laser lipo! Sjoe! Naturally, my […]
Read MoreI’m slowly working my way through all the amazing goodies I was given at the Cosmetiques de France launch the other day and just have to tell you how impressed I am with Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating shampoo, R149,95 for 200mls. Phyto is a botanical hair care line that’s new to SA, but has been an […]
Read MoreThe other day I got invited to a ‘sushi networking dinner’ via Marianna Boguslavsky. As it turns out, Marianna’s an ex-PE girl like me, but now works in online marketing. She also likes to organise little get togethers where she invites an interesting mix of peeps who can swap contact details over California rolls. This was Marianna’s third […]
Read MoreOne of the myriad of beauty goodies stashed in the sakkie I received from Clicks’ spring beauty extravaganza was new Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion mascara, R129,99. This is the first Max Factor mascara I’ve tried and I’m very, very impressed. By no means does it create an effect that looks like falsies, but it does add […]
Read MoreLast week I ran a ModelCo competition and the lucky winner was Joani Visser. She got to take two of her mates to the ModelCo make-up bag makeover eveing at Canal Walk and they all got treated to a ModelCo travel bag filled with lots and lots of product. Congrats babe, I hope you had fun! […]
Read MoreMy friend Lara has snake-like hips, a concave belly and the kinda ass you could bounce R2 coins off of. I often invite my darling boyfriend to join ‘the girls’ for supper, but he’d much rather stay in and eat in front of the TV… until he hears that Lara’s joining us. I think this is because she’s got such a ‘nice personality’. Heheheh… Anyway, La’s been going to […]
Read MoreCan’t tell you how proud I am of my beloved Karis Piss… chica recently modelled in a concept shoot for something she’s not allowed to talk about just yet. I can, however, show off the piccies. Take a look: For more KP hotness, go check out the rest of the shots on her bloggetjie, My Love Affair with […]
Read MoreSo as not to look like a dead animal for the Loerie’s party circuit (woop, woop!), I decided to use my Acquizhen Rebalancing mask, R550. The thing I love most about this sweet li’l pick-me-up treat? It’s fun to use! You simply pop one of the little squished up fleece masks (it looks like a large white pill) into […]
