Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Earlier today I got to attend a little media brekkie hosted by Dove South Africa at Mana Epicure in Kloof Street.

Read MoreSo there’s a new filler in town; Juvederm Volbella. For those of you completely out of the loop, fillers, for the most part, are gels containing hyaluronic acid that’s injected under the skin to fill up fine lines and restore volume. While the word ‘hyaluronic acid’ sounds terrifying, it’s actually a naturally occurring mega-moisturising substance […]
