Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
So it’s 2015. Thank God! I don’t know about you, but I worked like a dog in 2014 and it felt like nothing came easy. Sure, I got the things I wanted. But I had to fight, fight, fight for every bloody thing. And nothing came without drama. A big fight with a douchery that […]
Read MoreRight! I’m finally off to Thailand to island hop and shop til I drop with a group of seven besties. This is me saying ta ta for now and good bye to 2014. I hope you all had a relaxing Christmas and wish you all a kick ass New Year. (I’ll be at the Full Moon […]
Read MoreIt’s almost time to wrap things up for the year, but not just yet – I’ve got a few beauty bits and pieces I want to chat about, the first being Moroccanoil Weightless Hydrating mask (usually R420 but now just R336 from retailbox.co.za). It’s been formulated for fine hair in need of a little more […]
Read MoreAn innovative, homegrown self-tanning brand, The Tan Lab hails from sunny Durban. Aside from being Eco-Certified and vegan friendly, it’s main plus point is the fact it makes use of DHA* (the main ingredient in 99% of self-tanners on the shelf) as well as Erythrulose. When used to together, DHA and Erythrulose are a self-tan dream […]
Read MoreA while back I mentioned that The Foschini Group was getting with the programme and had set up online shopping on their @Home website as well as hi, a techy retailer. This was announced at a launch where I got to take in a ‘tech talk’ by Aki Anistasiou, the host of Technobyte, a tech […]

The first is via Instagram, so find me there (I’m @lipglossgirlx0x0) and check my feed. The […]
Read MoreThe moment I drop kicked my embarrassing BlackBerry, I got sucked into the cult of Apple – a white, shiny space where everything’s oh so easy and expensive and when you do occasionally pop your head out of the sand it’s to cast a side eye at a friend who’s using something other than the […]
Read MoreA little while back I was given a press drop for Four Cousin’s Fiver wine coolers. While I’ll never say no to free booze, I wasn’t especially excited about it as I’m A) an ungrateful, hard-to-please bitch and B) not really a wine cooler kind of girl. But it had been a long, hard day […]
Read MoreAh, good ole River Island. I was a big fan back in the day when I used to live in London, doing a gap year between high school and advertising college. While I was always too broke to buy much, I’d lurk around the store on Oxford street, lovingly stroking all the shoes and bags […]
Read MoreRight! The time has come to show off the results of my final Edgars shopping spree and offer you to the chance to win one too. So let’s kick things off with this mooi Lipsy maxi dress. At R1 099, it pretty much sucked up half my ‘spree budget’ but I felt it was totally […]
Read MoreIt’s been a bad two weeks, yo! Well, for technical stuff, anyway. As you all know, I almost destroyed my camera among other things at the Calvin Klein launch and have been without an ADSL line at home now for ages*. (As I type, I’m resentfully working in a Jamaican-themed restaurant up the road from […]
Read MoreLast week I attended the official opening of the Calvin Klein store in the V&A Waterfront. A regte celeb-studded affair, things got pretty crowded so I didn’t manage to snap too many clothing piccies but we’re talking Calvin Klein here, darlings. You can rest assured that everything is gorgeous in that typical Ck understated fashion. […]
