Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Like most meisies, I loooove a good sale. I just hate actually shopping them. Having to bash elbows with some banana clip-wearing wildebeest to snap up a maxi dress at half the price is not my idea of fun. Online sales, however, are always fabulous. You get to snap up what you want without any […]
Read MoreMAVALA’s new nail colour collections have hit the shelves; metallic Metropolitan and the glitter-infused Jewel Collection. As I’m not really down with the disco bunnies, I didn’t take any shots of the shades on my fingertips. I did try them out though. Like obvs. And yes, they’re deffo the good MAVALA quality you know and love. I especially like […]
Read MoreBalm Balm, for those out of the loop, is a 100-percent organic, natural skin care brand that hails from UK.

Read MoreI’m baaa-ack! Almost. I’ve currently got a toy boy guest staying with me until the 16th and have been kept pretty busy so I haven’t had time to schedule a post to go live every day after this one.

Read MoreCan you believe 2013 is almost dunzo? I don’t know about you but this hasn’t been my favourite year and I can’t wait for it to voetsek. I do, however, have a good feeling about 2014. Anyway, I was going to create a final ‘Christmas-y post’ on my top beauty-related gift items but just didn’t […]
Read MoreRemember Brit designer Henry Holland’s T-shirt collection for Mr Price? Well they’ve hooked up again, this time to create a line of cute summer dresses inspired by his super star besties; Kelly Osbourne, Pixie Geldorf, Katy Perry and Rihanna, to name but a few. Being a lucky cow, I was spoiled by Have You Heard, […]
Read MoreLast week I had the pleasure of attending a stylish ladies brunch at Myatt Cafe hosted by the HUGO BOSS store in the V&A. Myself and about 40 or so other girls arrived at the store in the morning where we got to browse the racks while nibbling on canapes. The store is fab in […]
Read MoreThere have been so much hotly anticipated beauty launches this year but Michael Kors’ luxurious new fragrance and cosmetics line pretty much takes the cake. Divvied up into three lines – Sporty, Sexy and Glam – each consists of a fragrance and a carefully edited selection of cosmetics. There are also a smattering of indulgent […]
Read MoreThe other day Freebees PR held an end of year bash at the CTICC to show off all the brands they help create press for. Many of them are beauty-focused so I popped in for a squiz and thought I’d show off some of the more interesting things I saw. First up, I got a […]

The Street Art collection consists of Mega Instant Shampoo for everyday cleansing, lightweight Mega Instant Conditioner and 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner.
