Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
While cruising the V&A over the weekend, I spotted these cute little Amika flat irons on display in a forecourt. I’ve never heard of this brand before and had only a minute or so to chat to the sales people as I was late to meet friends. But I can tell you this much; the plain […]
Read MoreRiiight, so I’ve whipped up a little ‘Twilight’ eye shadow look for you. I hope gratefulness oozes from your every pore – using a hi-def camera on Ultra Zoom to get up close and personal with you’re oogies when you’re tapping at 30’s door isn’t as fun as I thought it would be. 😉 Okay, so […]
Read More‘Tis the season to spray tan! I’ve just made a booking with Lisa, my spray tan goddess. Now that I’m penciled in, I’m happy to share her deets.

Read MoreOh gorgeous Guerlain… I’ve always been entranced by this brands beautiful packaging and spend so much time admiring it in store, I’m sure their sales assistants have flagged me as a potential shoplifter. Something about their Terracotta line’s luxe-looking tortoiseshell packaging that just does it for me. It’s so ‘sexy-retro-70’s’ and reminds me of my […]

Now, let’s […]

Read MoreFinally got to see my hairdresser, Andret, the queen of Mooi, this morning. Still can’t believe I had to take a half day’s leave from work to get an appointment to see her, but it’s the only time she could squeeze me in. Girl is cray-zee busy! She’s also totally obsessed with a new hair care […]
Read MoreDid any of you make it to Yardley’s Wonderland-inspired make-over marathon at Canal Walk last weekend? (Make-up artist pro Carl Isaacs was there helping customers get their glamz on…) If you haven’t yet got your mitts on a Yardley Wonderland eye shadow palette, make a serious plan. They’re flying off the shelves. xx
Read MoreI never get tired of seeing my name in print. This mo, I’m most proud of the sexy story I have in Cosmopolitan.
