Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
It’s no secret that I LOVE Strawberrynet For those who don’t know, it’s a HUGE online discount beauty store that stocks just about every brand you can think of and ships pretty much everywhere in the world. Back in the day they used to ship everything for free (yes, really), but they now charge to mail perfume. Still, […]
Read MoreI’m not one of those bloggers who likes to lift too many piccies off a press disk. Instead, I prefer to take my own shots to show you swatches, me WEARING the product or both. I feel this gives you guys a better idea of the product itself. Also, I don’t really like to talk […]
Read MoreOooh have I got good news for fellow Narciso Rodriguez freaks… Yesterday I had to verify something with the PR peeps responsible for the brand in regards to my V-day post and found out that they’ll soon be launching yet another gorgeous new flanker… Narciso Rodriguez for her delicate. Available in both EDT and EDP, this new version stays […]
Read MoreMwhahahahaha… Just when you thought you could avoid all that tiresome Valentine’s day copy every media platform feels obliged to churn out, I go and whip a little up myself… Essentially, this is my list of awesome shizz to force ask your man to gift you with this V-day. Alternatively, if you’re single, feel free to […]
Read MoreTa da bitches! I’ve got not one, but THREE beauty stories in Clicks ClubCard this month. For the above, I had to interview celebs like Lindiwe Suttle and Michelle McClean on their fave summer beauty goodies. (Jeannie D and Natalie Becker are over the page, but I’m too lazy to upload another shot…) I also recently whipped […]
Read MoreThose of you who’ve had the ‘experience’ of driving with me (and have subsequently vowed to ever climb in my car again) will know that I’m an uber-kak driver. In my first year on the road I had a whopping eight accidents in one year… well, eight that I actually claimed for… all the other scrapes and dings […]
Read MoreJust the other day Maybelline held a Safari in the City party to celebrate their 2012 calendar. (For those of you who don’t know, for the last few year’s now, the brand’s created a calendar to show off an array of fun, edgy looks using their latest products on big name models like Erin Wasson and Jessica […]
Read MoreLate last week Couds and I popped into an exclusive li’l Jo Malone event held at their V&A Waterfront store. The brand wanted to get in touch with a few of their favourite customers and emphasise the point that Jo Malone is a ‘sensory experience’, not just a purveyor of delish-scented candles and colognes. The guest of honour […]
Read MoreLate last year I attended an interesting talk on anti-aging at the Skin & Body Renewal Clinic in the Cape Quarter. We also left with goodie bags (reee!) that included a few items from Lamelle’s Dermaheal range. What makes Dermaheal’s products different to most other anti-agers is that it makes use of ‘growth factors’. (According to Skin & Body’s Dr. […]
Read MoreLet me start by saying I love Blistex DCT. LOVE it! If they ever stop making it I’ll be completely and utterly lost. The reason why I’m such a fan is because it contains a nice fat dose of AHA that act as a chemical exfoliant so you never have to deal with dry, flaky lips ever again. Seriously. […]
Read MoreAh Clinique… I’ve been a fan of their make-up since high school and consider High Impact mascara to be one of the best money can buy. Their long-wearing Superfit foundation was also amazing and I’m still kinda traumatised that they discontinued it. Oooh! And let’s not forget about their True Bronze facial bronzing gel! It’s been a few […]
Read MoreLast week darling Lizzy from Freebees PR sent me an LCN lip gloss to review. (For those of you who don’t know, LCN is a German brand that mostly specialises in nail products.) This is LCN’s lip gloss in Golden Rosewood. It retails for R140 and can be found in selected salons across the country: …and without… Golden […]
