Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Just got yet more v. exciting beauty ‘skinner’ for you… One of my best girlfriends, Tamryn O’Dea, is an ultra-awesome make-up artist. She’s so good, in fact, that she teaches in the subject at The Prestige Academy in Bellville. (She’s my number one stop for complicated eye liner and awesome, horror-movie style effects. ‘Cos, like, […]
Read MoreGet a load of beautiful Bianca. If I had lips like hers, I’d wear bright red lip gloss every day. Anyway, the reason I’m showing you this piccie is because I want you to check out her hair. Can you belieeeve that the bottom part isn’t her own? If she hadn’t told me, I’d never have guessed. […]
Read MoreOooh, I almost forgot! While at the MAC launch, I got a little insider beauty scoop from MAC make-up artist, Keagan Cafun. He’s been able to get a sneak preview of MAC’s Peacocky collection, due out in Jan 2011! Do you girls realise what a big deal this is? Everyone’s talking about it online, but nobody has […]
Read MoreI’ve just gotten back from the V&A launch of MAC’s much anticipated holiday collection – A Tartan Tale. Got to schmingle with their lovely make-up artists, fiddle with the new products and knock back yummy a Scotts-inspired cocktail – a Classic Manhattan. (This li’l drinky poo was a favourite among the ‘Rat Pack’. Naturally, it’s made with whisky…) To get an eyeful […]
Read MoreCan you believe all the shops have their Christmas goodies out? I can’t tell you how weird it feels, walking around Woolies and looking at all the ‘Magical Christmas’ window displays. Just the other day I was staring at them on my art director’s MAC, wracking my brain to think of one more line that expressed ‘the magic […]
Read MoreWow! The internet and it’s ability to connect people never fails to amaze me. 😉 My blog isn’t search engine optimised yet, but a fellow beauty blogger all the way over in the UK was searching for specific key words online and I happened to pop up. She calls herself Bird on Fire and has left me my very […]
Read MoreAg nee! I’ve just read online that (uber-annoying) teen pop sensation Justin Bieber is getting his own fragrance. But it’s not going to be just another celeb blend in a bottle… Nosiree… the Biebs plans to infuse his unisex scent, My World, into plastic wristbands and faux dog tags! (And just like that Leigh throws […]
Read MorePopped into Verimark yesterday to snap up a mini Twister Chop n’ Go for my mate Tat. Have you girls TRIED this thing? It’s amaaazing. Used to cry my eyes out when I chopped up onions and would end up a hot, mascara-smeared mess. But now, I just toss it into this little bakkie and – BAM – […]
Read MoreDoes anyone out there love Crabtree & Evelyn as much as I do? I’m particularly obsessed with their new Heritage soap collection. I reckon the Vetiver and Juniperberry variant, R100,00, smells just like the scent they pump into the air at the One&Only hotel. (Yip, the hotel has it’s own signature fragrance. Can you handle it? They have […]
Read MoreHave you girls seen Cindy Nell on the cover of YOU magazine this week? I think she looks absolutely gorgeous, but then again I’m a bit biased ‘cos I really like her. Every time I’ve interviewed her, I’ve always been struck by how warm and friendly she is. She’s also a journo’s dream in that has absolutely zero mouth-filter. I once asked her to relay […]
Read MoreWas crawling around Canal Walk Dischem this avie and stumbled upon Revlon’s new lipgloss – Revlon Lipsheen Gloss, R74,99. Sjoh! If I was boozed up in a club – or even just distracted in a restaurant – and a gal pal passed me some of this, I’d swear it was MAC Lipglass. The packaging is pretty much identical […]
Read MoreOooh, my very first post! Last month, I officially wrapped up my beauty editing gig at http://www.women24.com. As sad as it is to say goodbye to all the lovely chicas who work there (and the big, fat beauty cupboard), I’m excited about starting my very own beauty blog. That and completely terrified. Despite being practically married to an IT guy, I’m embarrassingly kak […]
