Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Remember how I got to rate and review White Glo toothpaste? Well, I got another White Glo goodie to play with – White Glo Express Whitening System, R179,99. Essentially, it’s a home whitening kit consisting of a mouth tray and whitening gel that’s double the strength of the one they used to use. See this […]
Read MoreOnce upon a time, a beautiful princess looked into the mirror and said: ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?’ ‘Why, that Rapunzel chick, of course’, said the mirror. ‘What’?!’, shrieked the princess? ‘But this is MY freaken fairy tale… I’ve simply got to be the hottest gal in town!’ Mirror: ‘Sorry babe, […]
Read MoreGot some exciting news for anyone who’s as completely dependent crazy about self tan as I am… My beloved spray tan gal, Lisa, just told me that she’s now the distributor for the ‘world’s first anti-aging spray tan’, Ageless Tan. The formula contains vitamins A, C and E as well as green tea extract, which […]
Read MoreK, so this has nothing to do with beauty… in fact, it’s a completely shameless punt for my friend Bheki. He’s a singer in the band iScream & the Chocolate Stix. They’ve shot a reality TV type thing-y called ‘Making It’, and reckon it’s a mash-up between MTV’s ‘Made’, ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘Idols’. The last […]
Read MoreThis month, Clicks has a brand new skincare range on the shelves called mySKIN. Essentially, this is a nice collection of basic facial care products to help you cleanse, tone and moisturise. As the moisturisers don’t contain any anti-aging ingredients, I reckon they’re best suited to younger women getting to grips with a beauty regime or anyone who’s not particularly worried about ‘wrinklies’. Also, as they […]
Read MoreLove Jean Paul Gaultier? Well, he loves you too… so much so that he’s whipped a beautiful trio of limited edition fragrance sets for Valentine’s Day. The collection is called Love Actually and consists of a specially packaged Le Male (125ml, R740,00), Classique and Classique X (both 100ml, R995,00). Each comes in a pretty tin […]
Read MoreEver heard of endermologie? For those of you in the dark, a treatment involves having a special massage machine swept over your lumps and bumps to give them the old heave ho. (The massager’s head looks a bit like a mini-vacuum cleaner and it gently sucks at your flab, pulling it up so as to give it a bit of a pummel which helps […]
Read MoreK, so let me tell you all about this little particular little opskop… Held at The Table Bay hotel, this is THE pre-Met party you want to go to. Think zexy celebs, cutesy canapes and litres of booze a la vino and J&B. I arrived with Lee-Anne Summers, but soon abandoned her to get my drunk […]
Read MoreThe other day, celeb publicist Andrew Farr called me up with an offer that was simply too good to resist… He wanted to know if I’d be keen to hang out with actress Lee-Anne Summers and watch her get glammed up, celeb-style, before the Glamour/GQ J&B Met pre-party. Thus, I rocked up at the Summers’ […]
Read MoreThe other day I popped into Prestige Cosmetics’ offices to pick up a few press releases and got to get a sneaky sniff of the new, soon-to-be launched flanker to their Idylle perfume – Guerlain Idylle Duet. If you’re an Idylle fan, you’ll know the scent is all about romance… and this new edition should […]
Read MoreRemember how I wrote about Chanel’s beautiful new liploss, Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, R325,00? (It boasts one of the most impressive press releases I’ve seen in yonks, which you can take a peek at over here). I finally got my paws on the gloss itself (reeeee!) and it is indeed every bit as fabulous as it looks. Just […]
Read MoreHave you girls heard about Spoilt? It’s a divine boutique hair, nail and beauty salon in Green Point that PR queen Galia Kerbel always tells me about. (She calls the place her ‘second home’…) This month, they’re running a crazy-good special: you can get a full body exfoliation, detox wrap and microdermabrasion facial for a […]
