NIVEA’s revamped their Daily Essentials facial skin care range and divivied it up into three lines; Ocean Algae for combination and oily skin, Vitamin E for normal and combination skin and Almond Oil for dry and sensitive skin. The new packaging’s a lot more mod-looking (God, how much do you hate that word? ‘Mod’!) and […]

If you’re not familiar with that brand just yet, check out my post on it over here […]
Read MoreEveryone knows what a Louis Ghost is, right? For those who don’t, it’s Philippe Starck’s gorgeous retake on a classic Louis XV-style chair for Italian furniture designers Kartell. I’ve always thought they make a great dining room chair in either minimalistic mostly white apartments or teamed up with more rustic-looking shizz like this farm house-style table: […]
Read MoreClicks ClubCard magazine needed an example of a Glamour Girl for their Christmas gift guide. Obviously, I was like the first person that sprung to mind. Like obviously… I suppose I’ll know I’ve only really made it when people learn to spell my freakin’ name right. Love, love Leigh
Read MoreWhat did I say about every single brand on God’s green earth is going to bring out a BB cream? Hey?! Was I right or was I right? The force is, like, uber-strong with that particular beauty trend… In fact, overseas, they’re now starting to see the emergence of something called a CC cream! Anyway, […]
Read MoreI’ve always known that Shiseido do fragrances but I’ve never smelled one; limited edition Zen Secret Bloom is my first and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Every time I’ve spritzed it on I’ve had someone ask me what I’m wearing; it’s not exactly a loud-type of kind of scent (think Angel) but it is strong enough for people to […]
Read MoreAm I like the only girl in the whole bloody universe who hasn’t seen the Twilight movies? I just don’t understand the appeal of that miserable-looking girl and her difficult choice between Pale Face and Wolf Boy. I mean seriously girls, why aren’t there any hot zexy men in that flick?

Read MoreSee? They’ve stuck my gesiggie on their Facebook page along with some of my top summer beauty tips: Just about every brand has a Facebook page right now and most of them are utterly craptastic.

Read MoreLike fresh, yummy, good-for-you food? Wellness Warehouse has opened a Wellness Cafe in Wembley Square and its all kinds of awesome.

Read MoreFirst up, apologies if you’ve felt I’ve been a bit scarce on twitter. I spent just over a month as acting beauty and decor ed for YOU, Huisgenoot and Drum and boy did it keep me busy. Sjoe! I’ve finished up there now (but will still be working for them on a freelance basis) and am about to join All4women.co.za as […]
Read MoreMane n’ Tail shampoo has always been on my radar. Every time I’ve read a story on ‘crazy’ celeb beauty tips it’s always gotten a li’l mention ‘cos Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston are big fans. So, you can only imagine how curious I was upon learning it’s now available in SA. Still, to make it clear, […]
Read MoreThey say diamonds are a girls’ best friend but, if you’re saving for a deposit on a house like me, crystals are just as alluring.
