Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
GIRL! What are you doing reading this post? Have you not heard the news? Urban Decay’s just opened a pop-up online palette shop so you can get your mitts on a Naked Palette, regardless of where you live in South Africa. I have no clue how long it’ll be open for and stock is limited and expected […]
Read MoreWant all the cleavage but don’t want to sacrifice on comfort? Triumph could be your boobs’ new bestie! The brand’s created an ‘innovative bra technology’ (yep, they take the art of killer cleavage very seriously) called Magic Wire that serves up everything you’d expect from an underwire, but without one. How does it work? They use a silicone […]
Read MoreHi girls Apologies for not having a post up this morning. I was in Jozi last week for two launches then headed off to Knysna for the Oyster Festival. I’m now busy scrabbling to reply to all my e-mail and take care of some admin and then I’ll be sure to stick up a cool […]
Read MoreA while back I was invited to the launch of Vogue brows’ microblading treatment at The Urban Beauty Lounge in Wembley Square. Microblading’s been around for a while but now its kind of exploding, especially since it’s rumoured to be the technique that’s given the Kardashian kids their perennially perfect-looking eye brows. So, for those of […]
Read MoreWoolworths sent me a few items from their new African Ingredients range, available in two variants – Engergising and Calming – and they’re all utterly divine. Both lines are made using natural ingredients from Africa including an extract from the resurrection plant, a mysterious antioxidant-rich shrub that ‘hibernates’ in the desert during a drought but […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I’m an oily-combination skinned girl. Contrary to popular believe, however, my skin can still get dehydrated so it’s important to use a good moisturiser, but one that isn’t going to aggravate my oily T-panel. Finding products that get the balance just right isn’t always easy. On top of […]
Read MoreIs anyone else sick of hearing about Kylie bloody Jenner and her stupid lip kits? I am. But either way, she’s launched two new shades and both of them are blue. Having tried blue lippie myself – on live TV nogal – I can tell you right now that it’s a super hard look to […]
Read MoreA while back I showed off The Body Shop’s new Shade Adjusting Drops and I’m particularly taken with the lightning ones. I get sent a lot of foundation and many of them are too dark for me, especially now that it’s winter, and they do a great job of lightning them up without sheering out […]
Read MoreIf you’re an early riser (or have happened to see my shameless self-promotion on social media) you’ll have noticed I’ve been appearing on Expresso as part of the Fash Pack quite a bit this month. I’m not going to lie guys. It’s made things super awkward. For starters, driving my dented Kia slick ride down the […]
Read MoreYesterday I found out I’ve been selected as one of Women24’s favourite social media stars. You hear that girls, ek is n suuuper sterrrr! * Hair flick! Head toss * (Okay, okay, so I threw in the ‘super’ bit myself.) But seriously, this is really, really flattering and I’m truly grateful for whoever voted to […]
Read MoreRight! If you haven’t heard the news, Urban Decay is finally coming back to South Africa. Their first stand alone store opens in Sandton City on 9 July and more are supposed to follow suite but I don’t know when. I’ve been a big fan of the brand forever, having first stumbled across some of […]
