A few months back I was given a bottle of Uriage’s thermal water spray, R99,94. It kind of sat on my bathroom shelf for a while but I cracked it open the moment we had that disgusting heat wave. I LOVED how spritzing it on my face immediately left me feeling cool, fresh and invigorated. In a way, it’s kinda like the facial treatment […]

Right, let’s talk Moroccanoil… Moroccanoil is one of several new-ish hair care brands that are making good use of Argan oil. Argan oil is something that’s getting a lot of attention right now, but it’s actually been around for years. It comes from the kernels of the Argan tree (they grow naturally in Morocco) and […]

This morning I woke up with the headache from hell. The kind that makes you want to slice off your hand with a box cutter just so you’ve got another type of pain to distract you… Still, it was sooo worth it.

Check it out: If you want to pre-order yours, pop on over here. It’s […]

Sooo… am I going to see you at the Veuve Clicquot Masters polo at Val de Vie this Saturday? I wasn’t too sure as to what I was going to wear but have decided to slip into that cute Forever New rokkie my li’l sis gave me… As it’s quite a fancy affair, I feel like I should […]

If you’re big into DIY mani’s like moi, you’ll appreciate Sally Hansen’s new line of slick-looking pro-style beauty tools. They’ll be in stores as of next month and the range includes everything you’ll need to take care of you finger and toe nails as well as three different types of tweezers. I got given these […]

Maybelline’s got a new mascara on the shelves, a flanker for the super popular The Colossal Volum’ Express called The Colossal Volum’ Express Cat Eyes, R114,95. It promises to deliver serious volume and, thanks to a ‘claw brush’, extend lashes outwards in a sexy cat-like flick. Also, its formula includes collagen which is becoming a popular […]
