Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
If you’re a regular reader you’ll know I agreed to take on 22seven’s money-saving GY$T challenge a few weeks earlier. You can learn more about the app (amazing!) and more about the challenge over here, but if you’re already in the loop keep reading. Get around for less The first task of my seven part […]
Read MoreThe other day Diesel got hold of me to offer a pair of their new jogg jeans. Initially I was hesitant as I imagined them to look like those weird skinny leg, drawstring tracksuit pants with the saggy crotch and, as I’m a normal girl with a normal girl body I knew they wouldn’t flatter […]
Read MoreI first sniffed new Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme EDP (price TBA) at a launch where I’d been exposed to ten thousand million other fragrances so it didn’t make a big impression as my nose was addled by so many other things. When I opened up it at home, however, my first thoughts were ‘Damn, […]
Read MoreEucerin’s new Anti-Redness Concealing Day Cream (R230) boasts a green tint in a bid to minimise the look of redness as well as an SPF of 25. I don’t feel qualified to ‘review’ this properly as I don’t suffer from rosacea or redness but I do want you guys to know it exists as an […]
Read MoreAs you know, I’m a proud HTC girl and was happily using the wondrous M8 before recently upgrading to the new One M9 32 GB. I’ve had a while to play with it and and gotta tell you, I’m definitely an android girl for life now. Just about all the things I loved about the M8 […]
Read MoreWinter’s not quite done with us but it’s on it’s way out and that means it’s time to lay off the dark ‘I’m a gloomy hipster sippin’ Sxollie cider in The Village Idiot’ nail colour shades (and by that I mean anything grey, oxblood, navy or black) and make the move towards pretty pastels and […]
Read MoreA while back Moroccanoil launched a new Smooth collection consisting of a shampoo (R350), conditioner (R370), blow dry lotion (R430) and mask (R570) specially formulated to sleeken unruly, frizz-prone locks without sacrificing volume. Everything in the line up contains antioxidant-rich argan oil and strengthening amino acids and the conditioner and mask takes things a step […]
Read MoreThierry Mugler love to reincarnate their bestselling Angel and there have been some real goodies along the starlit path, my favourite still being the light and lovely Aqua Chic 2o13. The latest limited edition version, however, is called Eau de Sucree (R695 for 50ml) and this one’s for serious gourmand lovers only in that it’s a […]
Read MorePrettily packaged French beauty brand SAMPAR is back in South Africa, this time in Edgars once more as well as Woolies. I was given 3 Day Weekend (R250) to try and it’s a bit of an interesting cat in that it promises a healthy-looking glow but doesn’t use any self tan ingredients or a tint. […]
Read MoreBikini weather is impending so I’ve started running again, out on the prom in Green Point as well as near the Rhodes Memorial in the burbs. This means I’m slapping on more sunscreen and have several favourites, one being Eucerin’s new creme-gel that I chatted about the other day. While I’ve never had a problem […]
Read MoreMy friend Darryn is always one of the first to discover super useful apps so when he mentioned his love affair with 22seven I didn’t hesitate to download and boy am I glad I did. And ‘love affair’ is perfectly apt. You have no idea how many times a day I open it up. Or […]
Read MoreDove have just launched yet another body wash – Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing body wash (R33,99). It’s got a lovely ‘creamy’-feeling formula enriched with natural plant oils and free of ‘strippy’ sodium lauryl sulphate – the kind I like to use in winter when my skin feels a little drier. Another plus is it’s nice, ‘clean’ […]
