Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
If you’re big into Garnier’s lovely pocket-friendly micellar cleanser you might be thrilled to hear the brand’s now created Extra Gentle Micellar cleansing wipes (R59,95 for a pakkie of 25). At first glance, I was like ‘nice idea, but a pity about the price’. Who’s going to want to pay R2,40 per wipe? Not me. […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I’m a big fan of Schwarzkopf Gliss shampoos and conditioners. I don’t often buy hair care products as I’m sent so much of it but when I do it’s one of the brands I reach for, particularly their Total Repair line. They’re also my first choice when it […]
Read MoreWanna see something super cool? I’ve got my mitts on a genuine leather laptop cover (R1 799) that feels as soft as butter. But wait for it… when my MacBook runs out of power (or my cell phone, for that matter), it can charge it up for me thanks to a secret sleeve containing a built-in […]
Read MoreReady to jump in? Let’s start with Oscar de la Renta Extraordinary eau de parfum. While Oscar’s original perfumes aren’t favourites of mine, mostly because they just smell dated, the fashion brand’s newer juices are reaching to a much younger audience. Remember Oscar Flor? New Extraordinary is very much it’s ‘sister’. A fresh floral, Extraordinary’s the […]
Read MoreLately, it kind of feels like every vegesaurus I know has stepped things up a notch to become a vegan (‘what do you mean we can’t abuse Spur’s 2 for 1 special anymore?!’) so I’ve got friends asking things like ‘can you recommend any good vegan-friendly cosmetics lines?’ In this case, I usually just direct […]
Read MoreA while back Catrice and Essence sent me a bunch of their new goodies and I thought I’d show off a few of the stand outs, starting with Catrice. First up, their new Chocolate Nudes palette is rather nice. I remember trying another of their palettes a while back and wasn’t all that impressed as […]
Read MoreLater this month, Elizabeth Arden have just launched yet another product within their crazy successful Eight Hour Cream line up and this one’s a goodie – All-Over Miracle Oil for face, body and hair (R385). Initially, the fact that they slapped ‘miracle’ in the name kind of irked me. I was worried they’d step into […]
Read MoreWe all know about Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula – it’s been around for years and has a bit of cult following, I reckon. Except for me. I honestly can’t stand the stuff. It’s scent is just so darn sweet in a way that feels suffocating. Bleh. In fact, let’s make that a double bleh plus […]
Read MoreSo I’ve come to the end of my Forever 21 blogger challenge and my third and final outfit is very much 70s inspired. The era’s pretty much the biggest trend driver this summer what with wide-legged jeans, wedges and bohemian-feeling tops being big, big news. I seriously love this top and was thrilled to discover […]
Read MoreForever 21 is continuing to help me knock things off my Christmas wish list thanks to the very generous gift card that comes part and parcel with their blogger challenge. Thus, I give unto thee my second summer outfit – a cullotes and crop top number that sounds like every woman’s nightmare but is actually […]
Read MoreLook who’s arrived just in time for Christmas – a sexy new limited edition ghd styler called Arctic Gold (R2 299)! Out of all the once-off stylers ghd has whipped out this year (remember Vintage Pink?) I reckon this platinum-coloured darling (not to be confused with the top of the line ghd Platinum styler) is […]
Read MoreAs you know, Lux spoiled me with a Soft Touch hamper the other day. It consisted of all the things I’d need to pamper myself at home in a bid to ‘ignite my romantic spark’ and draw a Prince Charming into my life, one who’d be tall and kind and clever as well as own […]
