Kiehl’s have launched an interesting new skin care collection called Apothecary Preparations available at their Sandton and V&A counters. It’s all about creating a ‘personal beauty solution’ in that, after a quick consultation with one of their salespeople, you can whip up a freshly mixed facial concentrate containing two complexes to address your skin’s needs. The […]
If you follow me on social media (I’m @lipglossgirl on twitter and @lipglossgirlxoxo on Instagram) you’ll know I ran off to Mexico the other day. Cancun to be exact. Also, I went all by myself! I know it sounds impulsive and crazy but, really, this was years in the making. Some time soon, when I’ve […]
Looking for a nice all-round personal grooming trimmer? Veet’s just launched their new AA-battery powered Sensitive Touch electric trimmer (R399, Clicks and Dis-Chem) and it does a nice job of tidying up your bikini line as well as your eye brows thanks to a 2-sided precision head. I can’t speak to its eye brow trimming abilities […]
I was invited to the media preview of the new Life Day Spa at the V&A Pavillion the other day and it’s fabulous. You know where the BMW emporium used to be? It’s in there and its huuuuge making it the perfect place to host a spa party with your friends. Think bachelorettes, birthdays, baby […]
And the new fragrances just keep rolling in! Are you ready for a bumper load of reviews? First up, Lanvin have whipped out a lovely new ever so slightly fruity floral called Eclat de Fleurs EDP (R995 for 50ml and R1 295 for 100ml, Disc-Chem). When I first sniffed it I straight up told the […]
Neutrogena has launched a pocket-friendly new line called Hydro Boost that aims to cleanse and hydrate your skin via cleansers and two moisturisers infused with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid. The two hyrators are Hydro Boost water gel for ‘normal’ skin and gel-cream for drier skin types (R155 each). Being an oily-combo girl I’d be the target market […]
Shimmy Beach Club has big plans for you this summer. Aside from a string of parties that they’ve planned, many of which include Goldfish, they’ve also launched their new summer menu and were kind enough to invite me in for a sneaky li’l preview. Starter-wise, I really enjoyed Shimmy’s red eye robata grilled lamb and rosemary […]
A little while back I was invited on a media tour of Robertson and didn’t hesitate to say ‘hell yes’. ‘Media tour’ is code for ‘good food and lots of wine’ and in this case it included great company too. Our host was Mira Weiner from Hot Oven Marketing and this chick is a jol […]
Got a whole pile of shizzle lying around your house that you don’t use? Have bills to pay? It’s time for a spring clean and a flog and OLX can be your new bestie to help you do the latter. (The spring cleaning? You’re on your own honey lamb!) To highlight just how much ‘money’ […]
Last week I was invited to a brekkie at the Mount Nelson with Rowena Bird, one of the founders of Lush Cosmetics. You’d think I’d have grabbed a piccie of her, but noooo, I was too drugged up on migraine meds to remember it so apologies for that. Instead, you can enjoy the mooiness that […]
If you’re a fan of Skinceuticals you’ll know about their best-selling Phyto Corrective Gel, a super soothing and hydrating serum for skin that’s in need of a little TLC. Next month, however, (November) the brand will be launching a Phyto Corrective mask (R995). Much like the gel, it also makes use of hydrating glycerin and […]
Ah, Exuviance. This brand, along with its sister, Neostrata, makes so many great products and I love that they don’t shy away from using high concentration retinol and alpha hydroxy acids. Exuviance’s new Bionic Oxygen facial mask (R855, Dermastore), however, had my brain reeling trying to wrap my head around its oxygenation benefit. According to […]
