Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Are you that meisie rocking out to Maroon 5 in her white polo while taking selfies with your Vide e Cafe cappuccino slapping #blessed on everything?

Read MoreI’ve been using and enjoying Cetaphil’s face wash for oily skin but recently ran out so I switched to another li’l borrel the brand gave me and that’s their iconic Gentle Cleansing lotion (R106, Clicks*).

Read MoreI’ve been aware of the The Balm cosmetics for a while now, often spotting them when I travel, and have wondered if the super cute brand was ever going to hit South African shores and that day has finally come. You’ll now find it in selected Stuttafords stores as well as in a stand alone […]
Read MoreRight! Who’s ready for another new fragrance round up? They’re literally raining down right now so let’s get to it. First up, we’ve got Cartier L’Envol.

Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know myself and bestie Karisa recently travelled there and had an absolute blast. I wrote an initial post about our trip and planned to create more but life got crazy. Karisa, however, has covered it extensively and done an awesome job so now I don’t have to. Ha! .. .. […]
Read MoreBeauty oils are big news right now with just about every brand launching a hydrating, often antioxidant-rich blend and now Dermalogica’s joined the party with a lovely li’l product called Phyto Replenish Dewy Skin facial oil (R1 290).

Read MoreA while back I attended an Urban Decay lunch where I got to sit next to Sophie Lilley (suuuuch a lekker chick), the Assistant VP of Global Business Development for Urban Decay. She was rocking a vibrant green shadow on her lids called Zodiac from the brand’s super glittery Moon Dust line and was saying […]
Read MoreElizabeth Arden Green Tea has been one of my go to summer scents since the dawn of time. I love its green, zingy freshness that kind of acts like an instant pick-me-up.
