Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
In the summer time my personal style’s as fickle as the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. In winter, however, I pretty much only wear black, grey and animal print peppered with chunky gold accessories plus attention-seeking rooi lips and nails. In a nutshell, my winter style icon is none other than Cruella freakin’ Deville. Having a uniform, […]
Read MoreRight! Topshop’s finally opened it’s doors in Cape Town, specifically at the V&A Waterfront. You have no idea as to how much build up and excitement revolved around this launch. I had die-hard fashion friends literally offering to pay me to take me along as their plus one to this event but, alas, being the […]
Read MoreOkay, so how much do we love Stila? Their eye shadows are the stuff of legend and their Perfect & Correct foundations is absolutely fabulous. Today, however, I want to fill you in on the brand’s new Colour Balm lipstick. I got to pick my own colour (thanks Kirsty!) and opted for Betsey as I’m a freak for […]
Read MoreWoolworths has a brand new in-house make-up line in store. I’m not sure what to call it as it doesn’t seem to have a name but each item has the word ‘about’ in it’s title. I.e. ‘About The Pout High Pigment lipgloss and ‘Wink About It Eye Trio’. The range caters for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails and offers […]
Read MoreSo it was my birthday the other day (okay, okay, so it was like a month ago) and the sweet peeps at Nimue SA sent me a li’l gift in the form of their Exfoliating Enzyme treatment. My flatmate almost started hyperventilating when it arrived as she’s a freak for Nimue and has been using […]
Read MoreMy friend Tam has started her own mobile beauty biz, Glow Cape Town: Spray Tan and Make-up. For R250 she’ll come to your house and give you a spray tan thanks to a pop-up tent. If you go to her in Kenilworth, it’s only R150. Tam’s also a trained make-up artist so she offers make-up […]
Read MoreSo you’re a total slet for Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream. You slap it on everything. Bath in it even. Maybe you like to eat it sommer. But the damn tube lasts forever. How are you going to get another fix of having a new Eight Hour goodie in your life? I mean, you already own […]
Read MoreLocal online fashion store Indiemode recently whipped up a list of their top ten fashion blogs and I was thrilled to nab the number one spot. While they said the list was in no particular order, let’s just call a spade a spade here. We all know I’m a freakin’ fashion goddess and they only said that so as […]
Read MoreSo I got a little lovin’ from Sally Hansen in the form of their new Smooth & Perfect hand cream (R94,95) and Complete Salon Manicure Dry & Go drops (R79,95). The hand cream, just so you know, is very nice. It moisturises well but absorbs fast and isn’t greasy or sticky feeling. It’s also got […]
Read MoreThis weekend myself and fellow blogger besties Clouds and Karisa were invited to take part in Glamour magazine’s annual Stiletto Run held at The Table Bay Hotel. Essentially, you have to do a 100m dash in a pair of stilettos (they need to be at least 7cm high) and pray to the fashion gods that you […]
Read MoreRevlon have just launched a new nail colour called Brilliant Strength. It boasts a built in base and top coat and promises to help protect your nails from breaking and brittleness. I was given a few shades to play with and most enjoyed wearing Intrigue, a sky blue hue with a slight shimmer. I liked […]
Read MoreIf you’re a fan of Vichy, you’ll probably be aware or maybe even use the brand’s new-ish Liftactiv Serum 10. It’s riddled with rhamnose, a fruit sugar that’s been proven in vitro to tell naughty, misbehaving fibroblasts to kom reg and produce collagen like a good cell should. Now, Vichy’s gone and launched this li’l darling: […]
