Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Popped into the Eikstad Mall (in Stellies) on lunch and see that The Body Shop’s winter sale is still going strong. Absolutely EVERYTHING in the store is less 20% and they’ve also got certain bits and bobs going at up to 50% off. I made a point of stocking up on my beloved Tea Tree Night […]
Read MoreSquish! Squash! A bubbly boom; the Rascals make the fruitiest chews. The flavour never stops – oh no – with the Rascals’ fruity pops! Yip, it’s official; Rascals are back on the shelves! They’ve also got a Facebook page, website and twitter account and swear that nothing’s changed; they’re still the exact same sweets you know and love. […]
Read MoreRemember the white watch trend? Ashley Tisdale likes her horlosies wit too… Anyway, I totally bought into that and ‘splashed’ out on a faux Chanel J12 while in Thailand last year: Ah, we had such good time that el cheapo knock off and I; hanging out at fancy functions with local designers like Gert-Johan Coetzee: …(sort of) roughing it in […]
Read MoreSo the darlings at INGLOT sent me a few new goodies to play with including their new Colour Play mascara (R149): A quick google revealed that coloured mascara’s actually trending a bit in Europe right now thanks to a recent Stella McCartney fashion show that featured models with brightly coloured lashes. As for me, I’d never […]

Read MoreOkay, so hands up, how many of you have heard of Thomas Pink? .. And the last time I was in one of their stores I had to stop myself from breaking my holiday budget on their adorbsville bulldog cufflinks as a gift for my bulldog-obsessed boyfriend: Anyway, for those of you unfamiliar with the […]

Read MoreWhenever I crack open a bottle of NIVEA body lotion and get a sniff of its unique scent I’m instantly transported back to high school; the good old days when my boobs sat under my chin and I didn’t have to worry about stupid things like ‘how in God’s name am I ever going to buy […]
Read MoreDavid Beckham’s brought out another fragrance. I’ve sniffed a few of his and the missus’ scents before and all of them have struck me as being very ‘meh’. His latest, however, Instinct Sport, is pretty awesome. To me, Instinct Sport smells cool, fresh and vetiver-y, despite that fact that it doesn’t actually contain any vetiver. […]
Read MorePOND’S has given their two main ranges; Flawless Radiance and Age Miracle a bit of a make-over. Both lines have had new products added into the mix, formula’s have changed and the packaging’s been changed to match what’s being sold overseas. To prevent this post from being a super long ramble, however, I’m only going to […]
Read MoreSo I had a mean bubblegum craving the other day and thought I’d treat myself to a seriously big ass Chappie. Check it out: Okay, okay, so it’s not actually a Chappie… it’s a box full of them! The best bit, however, is the wrapper: Why thank you Chappies! I’m so flattered that you’d deem […]
Read MoreRemember that I received a whopload of Essence and Catrice goodies the other day? Well I’ve had time to play around with them and thought I’d fill you in on my favourites. First up we’ve got this super adorable mini lipgloss set, R34,95: I’ve now disassembled it and have a mini gloss living in each of my […]
