Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Karl Lagerfeld is not new to creating fragrances. One of the first of his I can recall is Sun Moon Stars which launched back in ’94. Then there was Karleidoscope in 2004 after which he went quiet for a bit but now he’s back with two much-hyped eponymous new fragrances; Karl Lagerfeld for Her and […]
Read MoreSo let’s talk about permanent hair removal! I had the pleasure of being invited to Legs 11 in Sea Point the other day to get some of my hair zapped off with their IPL (intense pulsed light) machine. They’re pretty unique in that they offer one low rate per area – R380 per treatment! I […]
Read MoreJohn Galliano’s Parlez-moi d’Amour fragrances are finally available in South Africa. I’ve been aware of these scents for a while, having spotted them in a French airport a while back, and remember thinking how cute the bottles were. Each one looks like a little love letter which is pretty apt though considering Parlez-moi d’Amour means […]
Read MoreSo I’m having a bit of an ish. Product is rolling in faster than I can type which is why I’m not going to be doing too many individual product reviews anymore. You can now look forward to more multi-product reviews which I’ve come to realise you girls actually really like in that you get […]
Read MoreThe much anticipated Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo event held at Val de Vie estate in Paarl has come and gone and yes, it did live up to all hype. I mean, who couldn’t enjoy a beautiful sunshiney day in the winelands filled with good friends, great food, fab fashion and, of course, a free-flowing fountain […]
Read MoreRemember that gorgeous dress I wore to the J&B Met last month? Let’s take a quick flash back: That mooi rokkie came from Walk In Closet in Bergvliet, an infinity dress boutique from which you can either buy dresses from the rails, rent them for an event or have your own one custom made, choosing […]
Read MoreIf you know me well you’ll know I’m a little bit OCD. Like, when I first moved to Cape Town ten thousand years ago I remember knowing it was important that I be here, but feeling terrified at the same time. I then proceeded to drive my flatmates crazy by painting (and re-painting) my bedroom […]
Read MoreSo last week I was disgusting spoiled by the lovelies at Luxottica who gifted me with a new pair of Natalie Portman-approved Ray-Ban Clubmaster Folding sunnies. *Obvs* I just had to give Ms Black Swan a run for her money with a sepia(ish) filter of my own… Instant street cred aside, I love that they fold up […]
Read MoreCan you believe that, once again, it’s almost time for the Veuve Clicquot Masters polo? And because I’m now feeling nostalgic, let’s dip a toe into 2012’s event too… While just last year’s event feels like a life time ago my mouth is already watering at the thought of all the cheese. While many go […]
Read MoreIf you’re the kind of person who likes to customise the shizz out of their stuff or you’re looking for a gift for the person who has everything, you might be interested in popping on over to Wrappz.co.za. They offer custom cases and skins for pretty much everything. Think cell phones, laptops, iPads, Kindles and […]
Read MoreReady for a mash up of beauty loot I’m currently love, love, loving? Let’s jump right in and talk about Xen-Tan Ins-Tan-Taneous daily tan (R480, selected salons and spas). As my natural hue is a delicious shade of corpse, I pretty much live and die in self-tan. I also insist on a life in which white […]
Read MoreOkay so we all know I hate nail art. I’ve been pretty vocal about it so I can’t deny it. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t really enjoy playing with MOB’s Dramatica reusable falsies (price TBA); it was seriously fun. For those who don’t know, MOB (Ministry of Beauty) is a cosmetics […]
