L’Occitane is about to launch an exciting new collaboration with master French pastry chef Pierre Herme who’s infamous for his macaroons. He created two bespoke Mediterranean-inspired fragrances for two new collections – Jasmine – Imortelle Neroli and Pamplemousse Rhubarb – that’ll be in store come 4 November. To celebrate the launch L’Occitane had MaMere Confections create […]
Intros are for the fortunate ones who have more time than I do. Let’s just jump right in! Giorgio Armani Si Huile de Parfum (perfume oil), R1 395 for 30mls, exclusive to Stuttafords. Oh hello there! Look who’s arrived just in time for Christmas! Armani’s new perfume oil version of Si – the first perfume […]
A couple of weeks back I popped into the launch of the revamped The Body Shop store in Tygervalley. It’s a ’boutique concept’ store which means things are laid out in such a way that it encourages you to test, sniff and play, but to be perfectly honest, when it comes to The Body Shop, […]
But only just. This week’s been a bit of a killer work wise which is great for my ‘buy a house without a man’ plan, but not so good for my blog. But I’ll be back soon, I promise. Friday at the soonest and Monday at the latest. Thanks for bearing with me! Leigh x […]
It’s October which means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and, if you’re a beauty editor, it also heralds the beginning of The Onslaught o’ Pink. Still, this isn’t something I mind too much. In fact, I’m actually quite down with pink, even though I don’t always wear it every Wednesday. However, if that Mean Girls […]
You know how you get those people who are all like ‘Bleh! I hate lip gloss/lipstick/foundation with a scent!’ Well, I’m not one of those people. I actually almost feel a little cheated if I whip open a zexy new gloss and it doesn’t boast some kind of yummilicious fragrance. And a flavour’s even better. […]
I’ve always liked Woolies’ super cute JT One underwear line and have actually learned quite a bit more about it as I spent much of my Sunday writing a segment about their recent launch into a luxe Australian department store, David Jones, for Top Billing. The JT One empire is also expanding locally to now […]
If you’re a big ghd fan (i.e. a woman with hair), you’ll know the eclipse used to be the brand’s big kahuna. A styler so fierce, it could flatten pretty much anything. Now, however, it’s being discontinued in favour of a new super styler called the platinum (R2 899) that’s available in key salons as […]
L’Oreal, for the most part, have always whipped out fab eyeliners and their pocket-friendly newbie, Super Liner Superstar eye liner (R144,95), is no exception. It claims to have a ‘corseted tip’ but I honestly have no idea what that means and I don’t care. I just love that it’s got a super fine tip that […]
L’Oreal’s new Brow Artist Genius Kit (R169,95) is one of the best drugstore brow kits I’ve come across in ages. Years maybe. It includes a wax to shape and as well as a powder to fill in. The latter works perfectly with the wax, which is the perfect amount of waxiness, by adhering to it […]
Like most people, I adore The Body Shop goodies, but their indulgent new Spa of the World collection is especially lustable. A line up of home spa goodies inspired by exotic spots like Morocco and Hawaii, its divvied into three lines the brand refers to as rituals – relax, revitalise and bliss. I was […]
A week or so back, I popped into Freebees PR’s spring media day and left with a bulging sack o’ goodies from all their clients. It’s going to take me a while to work through it but I’ll be sure to mention any favourite things that stick out on the blog. The brand that’s impressed […]
