Like most meisies, I enjoy indulging in the odd face mask and thought I’d tell you about three I’ve tried of late. The first is Dermalogica’s new Charcoal Rescue mask (R790). At first I thought it might be your bog standard clay mask with a bit of charcoal in the mix and kind of balked […]
Remember how Calvin Klein’s genderless CK One was the smash hit of the 90s? Well, the brand’s set to ensnare a new generation of cool kids with unisex CK2 EDT (R665 for 30ml, R835 for 50ml and R1170 for 100ml) and I can totally see it hitting home. A fresh ozonic-aquatic-grassy type of scent, CK2 […]
I live and die at launch events so my cocktailwear collection is a big one, but even so, I still run out of things to wear. So, imagine how thrilled I was when Zando kindly sent me a sexy pair of Utopia peep toe heels… …even better, it came with a beautiful City Goddess London rok! […]
Being a naturally super pale peep, I tend to turn a terrifying shade of see-through when the winter months roll in. When it’s warmer, I look a bit less ghostly but, regardless of the season, I often slap on a little facial self-tanner – a lighter one for winter and a darker one in summer. […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m a busy girl who’s got better places to be than under my blerrie blow dryer so when L’Oreal’s new ‘fast blow dry spray’ landed in my stressed out li’l paws I was keen to give it a bash. Essentially a heat protection spray, L’Oreal Paris Studio Line Hot […]
Did you catch me on Expresso’s Fash Pack the other day? We were chatting about Justin Bieber’s horrifying new hair and, even more horrifying, Gywneth Paltrow’s new bee sting facial. There was a bit of a glitch there in that the images didn’t pop up (it’s live TV, it happens) but I was supposed to […]
Let’s talk about NYX. You’ve seen it in Clicks right? They’re a great drug store pick when it comes to niche-market beauty goodies – things like eye shadow primer and colour correcting concealers, but where they really shine is the eye shadow department. Many of their shades are shameless dupes for MAC colours and their […]
Like your lashes dramatic yet defined? That’s the best way I can describe Arden’s new Grand Entrance mascara (R275). It’s all about boosting volume, curl and length and delivers the most on the latter. Arden suggests you first hold the brush so that it’s curve creates a ‘U’ to load your lashes with the mascara […]
Ah Kiehl’s. Some of their products are fabulous and others just don’t hit the spot for me. But when they crank out a goodie it’s great. Examples? Their Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser is the bomb diggity in that you only need the teensiest little drop and it foams up like a boss. I can honestly […]
Palmer’s are kind of killing it right now. I still adore that Shea butter lotion they sent me the other day but now, as we move into winter, it’s time to bump up the hydration factor. For this, I generally like to rely on body oils as opposed to body butter. To me, it’s a way to […]
If you missed it or, like me, simply don’t own a TV, you can catch up over here. My bit involved talking about the new wave of celebrity kids making their way into the fashion world and while I have no strong feelings about Madonna’s Lourdes I have a bit of a confession to make […]
Confession time! I adore Revlon for their nail polish, chubby stick-style lip lines and the odd stand out product, but have never been a fan of their mascara. Pretty much every one I’ve ever tried has left me with an extreme case of ‘meh’ so I wasn’t too excited about their newly revamped mascara line […]
