Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Oooh, so I found the print ad of the new Jimmy Choo fragrance online. It stars the company’s co-founder, Brit millionaire Tamara Mellon. Now tell me, are Ms. Mellon’s hands just, like, super-tiny, or is that not the biggest bottle you’ve ever seen? Jislaaik. Reckon if I like the scent, I’ll buy it and keep […]
Read MoreOMG! I just spotted the eye shadows from MAC’s upcoming Jeanious collection and am now having heart palpitations. Look, look, look! Could make-up get any prettier?!! I want them all, yet don’t think I could ever bring myself to use one. I’ve just tweeted Brigid Shipalana, the person I most envy in this world MAC’s […]
Read MoreThe other day, Sonia Potgieter, operations manager for Eyecandy in Kloof Street, got in touch to offer me a ‘brow experience’ that involved ‘threading’. Naturally, I was super excited. I’d read so much about le fine art of threading and love to try new things… but a part of me was tres terrified too! A couple of years ago I’d gotten my brows […]
Read MoreI’m crazy about perfume and every year I like to take a squizz at the fragrance blogs to see what new and exciting scents are due to hit the shelves. To take a sneak peek at just a few new fragrances you can look forward to sniffing in 2011, check out this list on Now Smell This. Celebs bringing out EDT’s this year include Taylor […]
Read MoreHey girls! Thanks to everyone who entered my L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate competition. This morning, I painstakingly wrote out all your names on bits of paper and had a colleague pull out two lucky winners – Cecilia Barron and Rozitta de Villiers! (Funnily enough, Cecilia actually happens to work with me here at Jupiter. Can’t tell […]
Read MoreThis is just too good not to share… Popped into Blonde, one of Beluga’s sister restaurants, for dinner last night. They’re running a fab special that sees you score a cool 25% off your bill from Tuesday to Saturday and 50% off on a Sunday until the end of Jan. This includes drinky-poohs too, FYI… […]
Read MoreDon’t you love snapping up an el cheap-o impulse beauty buy that turns out to be a total winner? The other day, I popped into the back end of the Clicks cosmetics sale at the V&A. Pretty much everything decent was sold out, but I did that whole ‘let me buy just one thing anyway, […]
Read MoreWant to clean up nice for the New Year? Pop on down to le fancy pants Suntra spa at 15 on Orange in town. They’re running a rad special – for just 700 buckaroos, you can pick any THREE of the following treatments; a 50 min massage, Guinot or Dermalogica facial, scalp therapy, reflexology, body […]
Read MorePopped into an interesting Camps Bay house party the other day. A bunch of millionaire dudes from Europe and the States are down for season and have rented a few ‘mansion huise‘ in the hills so as to throw fab private pool partyjies. I’ve always found these skops to be loads of fun – even when the 500-buck a bottle wine is served […]
Read MoreHey girls Have you all managed to find gorgeous blue and white rokkies for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate on the 8th? This is one of my favourite events on the Cape Town fashion calendar and not to be missed. Anyhoo, I chatted to Samantha Walker, best known as La Muse from Pop Ya Collar. She’s […]
Read MoreHi girls! Just got back from the most heavenly experience at the Cape Royale’s Equinox day spa. The spa’s recently had a little make-over following its move from the 7th floor of the five-star hotel to the 1st. It’s now even sleeker looking – a real chrome, glass and chandelier-bedecked affair. Janice says they’ll […]
Read MoreHit up Canal Walk this morning to take advantage of the sales. Cosmetics-wise there wasn’t much to be excited about. Clicks, Foschini and Dis-chem all had their big clear-outs on, but 99% of their colour offering consisted of all that horrible almost no name brand shizz that nobody really cares about – think Define, Tru Color, Urban Chic, Beaute etc. etc. (Ja, ja… […]
