Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Its not unusual for a fashion chain to launch their own fragrances; Zara have some very nice ones as do GAP and now so do two of Woolworths’ lines, Studio.W and RE: I was sent the RE: woman and RE: man, each R199,95 for 30ml, to play with: RE: woman is a ‘burst of leafy […]
Read MoreAs I’ve mentioned before, Mama Mio skin care was initially aimed at expectant moms but is now being snapped up by anyone who appreciates well-formulated beauty goodies. Thus, I was very happy to receive their delish-smelling O Mega shower cream the other day: The formula is free of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), a foaming agent that not everybody adores even […]
Read MoreAs you all know by now, I’m a total freak for self-tan so I was thrilled to get to try one as luxurious as Kanebo SENSAI Silky Bronze: Kanebo describes it as a ‘breakthrough gel-cream formulation with a clean, summery fragrance’. It promises to ‘hydrate’ and ‘firm’ your skin while creating a natural-looking bronze colour. […]

They’ve also got some lovely new goodies in store, namely the new mega-moisturising Avocado, Olive & Basil collection… …and a selection of mini solid perfume compacts […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll remember my NSI POLISH Pro review; it’s essentially much the same thing as a Shellac or Gelish mani only less expensive. (For those completely out of the loop, all of these manis are light cured so the moment that LED light turns off, your mani’s BONE dry. It’ll then wear as […]
Read MoreDo remember how hard it was to get hold of a lip stain back in the day? I used to stock up on The Body Shop’s stain when I travelled otherwise I just couldn’t find one in store. Now, just about every brand has their own lip stain (thank God!) including Maybelline who’ve just launched […]
Read MoreEarlier this week I met my photographer friend Leah for lunch at my favourite sushi spot in the world, Sawadee on Kloof. (Once you have their Chef Special, a spicy tuna roll with creamy prawn tempura on top of it, you’re ruined for life in that all other sushi tastes like stodgy crap.) About half […]
Read MoreRight now, blue is big big news and I’m not talking about Beyonce’s baby. Blue the hue is all over the catwalk in regards to eye shadow and has been spotted on the fingers and toes of celebs like Jessica Alba: Inspired by all the blouness floating around, INGLOT decided to create a new collection called ‘Aqua-Blue Culture’. It […]
Read MoreWant to celebrate Woman’s Day but don’t have a boyfriend you can force into buying choccie and rubbing your feet? (‘Cos that’s what you’re supposed to do on Woman’s Day, right?!) Never fear my darlings, for now you can simply snap one up at the Grey Goose Boy Auction. It’s all going down at Cafe […]
Read MoreI’m probably the only person in the world who doesn’t like Dove soap. Despite the fact that it’s undeniably creamy, it’s also got a very specific scent reminds me of a particularly dreadful ex-flatmate. (I once came home to discover she’d painted my white, wooden ‘beach house’-inspired bathroom decor a hideous shade of khaki ‘because […]
Read MoreLike I’ve said before, I’m not a winter baby. I don’t like being cold. Still, I do appreciate that all the best food and wine festivals innie kaap go down in the chilly season. So, this weekend, to help beat the winter blues, my friends and I are hitting up WineStyle magazine’s Winter Wine Party at Simon’s restaurant in […]
