Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Today I hit up the Indigo brands media day at the One & Only Hotel. Was pretty awesome ‘cos the champers was flowing and they’d set up this big room full of different stalls to represent each brand so you could walk around it to go ‘shopping’. And by that I mean fill up your handsak with a […]
Read MoreYesterday, I was sent an interesting little product to test; a Body-botanix renew 20 anti-wrinkle active patch. (How’s that for a mouthful?) Essentially, it’s a set of tiny, stick on eye patches that you’re to pop beneath your peepers so as to ‘look younger in twenty minutes’. As the pouch itself doesn’t offer much more than that, […]
Read MoreI DESPISE it when sales people try and convince you to buy an entire ‘range’. (Hiss, stomp, seethe…) Nine times out of ten, you DON’T have to buy a cleanser, toner and moisturiser from the same brand to get the results you’re after. I’ve often had to listen to beauty counter sales people try and convince me […]
Read MoreThose who know me will attest to my addiction to online shopping. (I’ve been known to cruise eBay for up to three hours, idling snapping up everything from Stila eye shadow to Crest tooth whitening strips…) This, month, however, I’ve taken things to a whole new level by renting a US postal ‘addie’ from MyUS.com. […]
Read MoreDespite the fact that I’ve been writing for Cosmo for yonks, I still have to buy the mag like everyone else. (If you’ve seen how much stuff they cram into each issue, you’ll understand – theirs no way they could keep track of, let alone mail out to every single person, store, expert, whatever that […]
Read MoreLast weekend, myself and a bunch of girlfriends decided it would be a good idea to rent a shuttle bus to get us to and from this year’s Bastille Festival in Franschhoek. It made perfect sense as we planned to get jiggy with an array of champers, yet make it home alive. Still… I’d like to point out that, at one point, I […]
Read MoreA while back, when I got to experience a Shellac mani, I was given a little bottle of Creative Nail Design Solar Oil, R45 for 3,7ml, to help take care of it. Unlike many other manicures, Shellac allows your nail to breath as its got loads of microscopic li’l holletjies in it. This is why you’re encouraged to […]
Read MoreRight… I promised to finish up my CTFW party hopping write up, so here goes… after stumbling out of the Glamour/GQ bash, myself and Gia decided to meet up with Dax at the Carducci party held at Blakes Bar in town. The night had a casino theme and we were all given chips to play games like black jack […]
Read MoreYonks back, I ran into Dr. Susanne Reuther, the owner of Wings Group, at the opening of a Petticoat Parlour. This is the company that imports sinfully delicious treats like Werther’s choccie, Bahlsen wafers and, the most evil/awesome of all, Toffifee! If you’re a regular follower of my blog, you’ll know that Toffifee is my biggest […]
Read MoreSjoe, this weekend’s been a bietjie mal… One of my ooooldest besties from PE, Gia, is staying with me, so I took her along as my date to the Glamour/GQ Cape Town Fashion Week after party. It was held at the Table Bay hotel and Belvedere Vodka was one of the sponsors. As she’s quite the fashionista, Giatjie was the perfect […]
Read MoreThanks to my darling friend Omesh, who passed on a pair of extra tickets, my mate Lara and I got to catch Kylie’s ‘Aphrodite’ show at Grand West earlier this week. Gotta admit, I’m not really a crazed Kylie fan, but chica really did put on a regte, egte skouspel. We was also super lucky (luuucky, […]
Read MoreAg nee… just when you thought the Kardasian’s couldn’t whore themselves out any further, they go and team up with OPI to create their own nail ‘kolour kollection’. In case you didn’t know, Nicole by OPI is the brand’s less expensive range aimed at a slightly younger market. It’s infamous for jumping on the anything […]
