Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Been offered an awesome deal on a ghd that seems almost too good to be true? Perhaps that’s because it’s cheap n’ nasty fake… To make sure you’re getting the real thing, click here. The good peeps at ghd (yes – it’s all lowercase… that’s just how they roll…) have put up a few handy guide […]
Read MoreJust read online that Leighton Meester has been picked as the face for Vera Wang’s new fragrance aimed at the younger set. (It’s due for release sometime late next year). According to Mevrou Wang, Leighton’s ‘beauty, talent and spirit will inspire all the young women that I hope will enjoy this passionate, new young fragrance’. This won’t […]
Read MoreA quickie for all you Cape Town girls – Just Skin Aesthetic Clinic in Green Point is extending their ‘Need Colour?’ special until the end of this month. This means you can go get a spray-tan AND a free mini-pedi for just R250,00. Score! Must say, I really like Just Skin. I attended it’s launch earlier this year and won […]
Read MoreJust got yet more v. exciting beauty ‘skinner’ for you… One of my best girlfriends, Tamryn O’Dea, is an ultra-awesome make-up artist. She’s so good, in fact, that she teaches in the subject at The Prestige Academy in Bellville. (She’s my number one stop for complicated eye liner and awesome, horror-movie style effects. ‘Cos, like, […]
Read MoreGet a load of beautiful Bianca. If I had lips like hers, I’d wear bright red lip gloss every day. Anyway, the reason I’m showing you this piccie is because I want you to check out her hair. Can you belieeeve that the bottom part isn’t her own? If she hadn’t told me, I’d never have guessed. […]
Read MoreOooh, I almost forgot! While at the MAC launch, I got a little insider beauty scoop from MAC make-up artist, Keagan Cafun. He’s been able to get a sneak preview of MAC’s Peacocky collection, due out in Jan 2011! Do you girls realise what a big deal this is? Everyone’s talking about it online, but nobody has […]
Read MoreI’ve just gotten back from the V&A launch of MAC’s much anticipated holiday collection – A Tartan Tale. Got to schmingle with their lovely make-up artists, fiddle with the new products and knock back yummy a Scotts-inspired cocktail – a Classic Manhattan. (This li’l drinky poo was a favourite among the ‘Rat Pack’. Naturally, it’s made with whisky…) To get an eyeful […]
Read MoreCan you believe all the shops have their Christmas goodies out? I can’t tell you how weird it feels, walking around Woolies and looking at all the ‘Magical Christmas’ window displays. Just the other day I was staring at them on my art director’s MAC, wracking my brain to think of one more line that expressed ‘the magic […]
Read MoreWow! The internet and it’s ability to connect people never fails to amaze me. 😉 My blog isn’t search engine optimised yet, but a fellow beauty blogger all the way over in the UK was searching for specific key words online and I happened to pop up. She calls herself Bird on Fire and has left me my very […]
Read MoreAg nee! I’ve just read online that (uber-annoying) teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is getting his own fragrance. But it’s not going to be just another celeb blend in a bottle… Nosiree… the Biebs plans to infuse his unisex scent, My World, into plastic wristbands and faux dog tags! (And just like that Leigh throws […]
Read MorePopped into Verimark yesterday to snap up a mini Twister Chop n’ Go for my mate Tat. Have you girls TRIED this thing? It’s amaaazing. Used to cry my eyes out when I chopped up onions and would end up a hot, mascara-smeared mess. But now, I just toss it into this little bakkie and – BAM – […]
Read MoreDoes anyone out there love Crabtree & Evelyn as much as I do? I’m particularly obsessed with their new Heritage soap collection. I reckon the Vetiver and Juniperberry variant, R100,00, smells just like the scent they pump into the air at the One&Only hotel. (Yip, the hotel has it’s own signature fragrance. Can you handle it? They have […]
