Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Last week I had lunch at the Vineyard hotel with the B-line PR team. (They handle the Johnson’s account and are also responsible for Neutrogena). Over a yummy slice of quiche, I learned that good ole’ J&J would be getting a li’l packaging makeover in the new year. Check out their new look lotion bottles: I was also spoiled with a fab Neutrogena […]
Read MoreOkay, so I’ve finished my week-long Celebrity Slim diet. Sjoe! First off, I have a little confession to make in that there were two days where I totally cheated. Living on shakes (even for just two meals a day) is a little difficult as I spend a lot of time at events where they pour champers down your neck […]
Read MoreDig the beach? Big into freebies? The Elizabeth Arden Sun Protection for Summer campaign kicks off on the 26th this month (a Monday) at the V&A Waterfront before moving on to Camps Bay beach for the 28th, 29th and 30th. The campaign aims to create awareness in regards to how NB it is to keep your face and bod protected […]
Read MoreMy beautiful Lucy turned 31 last week and threw a 1940’s-inspired ‘Blitz’ party. (For those of you who don’t know, the ‘blitz’ was a stragegic bombing of Britain by nazi Germany… ). The invite’s instructions were very clear; turn up dressed according to the theme or you’d be ‘fed to the nazis…’ So ja… this is my 1940’s-inspired […]
Read MoreClinique Happy EDT always reminds me of my high school bestie Smether. (No, that’s not her reaaaal name, but it might as well be… Heather, Smether, Smethie, Smethel… same thing, really…) She used to wear it back in the dag – along with orange corduroy pants and baby blue high neck twin sets. Snicker… snicker… But don’t feel […]
Read MoreSo who’s going to the Durex for Play party in Cape Town on the 16th? I’d go myself, but its the same date as one of my best friend’s wedding… (Ja, I know she’s totes a selfish cow…) It takes place at the St Yves in Camps Bay and promises to be a mix of […]
Read MoreDid you know that Lady Gaga is a big Filorga fan? The brand’s just launched a new anti-aging cleanser and I got to give it a bash… Filorga Anti-ageing foam cleanser, R285 for 150ml, aims to cleanse while helping to turn back the hands of time thanks to skin plumping hyaluronic acid and white lily extract, a soothing, calming antioxidant. […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I’m a big Crabtree & Evelyn fan. Their Gardener’s Hand Therapy hand cream is a handbag staple and I’m crazy about their Vetiver and Juniperberry soap; it smells like the stuff they pump into the air at the One & Only hotel… Anyway, their Christmas stuff is now in store, tempting […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago I found a huuuge back of beauty samples my sis was hoarding in her bathroom and told her I’d stop loving her if she didn’t give them to me. Most of the samples are nice, fat generous ones from brands I couldn’t usually afford, but ironically, the best product I’ve found in the bunch comes from […]
Read MoreScholl, the foot care brand, are now making hand little massagers. Check out their new I-Pop mini massager, R149,90, which I found in my goodie back from Clicks. And out the box: My boyfriend reckons it looks like a sex toy for people who are too afraid to buy a real one… Anyhoo… the I-Pop promises […]
Read MoreOkay boys, we’re going to be talking about ‘sanitary protection’ now… Perhaps you’d prefer to click away and view my now infamous Peroni yacht pillow fight piccies. (They’re still the most clicked on piccies on my blog…) So, back to tampons and pads… When I was younger, I used to be a Lil-lets kinda girl, […]
Read MoreThe doorbell rang yesterday while I was in the bath. Super annoying, for sure, but boy am I glad I opened the door… just look at this massive bundle of spoilage I was given courtesy of Clicks: See those lubricants? It was quite awesome to read the press release for those boys ‘cos… ahem… I […]
