The other day the sweet peeps at African Sales Co sent me a bottle of Christina Aguilera’s newest perfume, Secret Potion, and went all out in regards to the press release. Just take a look at all the shizz it came with: Naturally, I was thrilled ‘cos a) I’m a slet for free swag and […]

Haven’t got your tickets to the Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo yet? Make a plan girls… it all goes down on the 25th of February (a Saturday) at the Val de Vie estate in Paarl.  For me, last year’s highlights included getting to stalk Ryk Neethling… …and this ENORMOUS tower o’ cheese: Being super-exclusive, tickets don’t come cheap (they’re […]

Yesterday evening Karisa and I popped into Scalini’s exclusive l’il roof top soiree… The bash was held to celebrate the arrival of their new summer stock which often comes in a bit late as the owners, Sasha Aleksic and Preeti Kapoor, get their pieces in the moment they’re available in Europe. (This way you can be assured you’re getting the freshest designer fashion […]

If you missed out on MAC’s Wonderwoman collection and are craving a little comics-inspired zing for your make-up bag keep an eye out for Essence’s limited edition Whoom boooom! collection. (I know… adorbs, right?) The whole range is riddled with cutesy cartoon-style graphics and the colours are interesting and fresh yet still very wearable. Check it out: Whoom booom […]

For those of you who don’t know, Scalini is a gorgeous li’l boutique in the Cape Quarter. They stock loads of zexy European brands like MaxMara, Sergio Rossi and Malvin. They’re holding a little champers drenched roof top soiree tomorrow evening to show off their new resort and swimwear collection. Sure it’s going to be […]

So last night I got to attend the 5 for Change black tie charity ball. Unlike Cinderalla, I don’t have a tream of singing dancing vermin at my disposal to help me pull off le glam, so I relied on a Crest tooth whitening strip, copious amounts of ModelCo Tan Mousse and a curling iron. […]

Hey girls! I’m getting tweets from a few of you saying you’re struggling to enter the Brutal Fruit comp ‘cos when you click the window just opens and then you ‘can’t click on the image’. It’s ‘cos once that page opens, you’ve got to SCROLL DOWN to get to the entry form. Sorry about that; I […]

OMG! I’m sooo impressed with Forever 21. (America’s version of Mr. P.) It’s now become this full on addiction and Karisa and I spend all our time trawling the site for awesomeness, creating huge wish lists, ordering up a storm… If you’re a regular reader, you’ll remember that we ordered a bunch of stuff from the […]

I have a bit of an issue with toners in that, for the most part, I think they’re a little unnecessary. You actually don’t really haaaave to use one, but many beauty houses would have you believe otherwise. (Medicated toners, however, are a different story; i.e. those that have loads of BHA/salicylic acid in them are fab for blackhead busting…) But ja, getting […]

As much as I adore lip gloss, you’ve got to give it up for a good lipstick. My absolute favourite is MAC’s Milan Mode, a bright shimmery fuchsia that brightens up my uber-pale cool complexion and, thanks to a rad blue undertone, creates the illusion of super white teeth. It looks a lot more ‘pers’ than it really […]

Please DON’T mail me going ‘Hey, check out my site; give me your opinion’ and then write a long defensive spiel in reply after I give you the constructive cristism you asked for. I didn’t even WANT to give it to you in the first place as I’m a busy girl. Next time suck up the guts […]
