Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Revlon have added five new powder blush (R239) shades to their line up. Two are matte (Rosy Rendezvous and Bronze Beauty), two are shimmer (Dare to Bare an Ravishing Rose) and one is satin (Orchid Charm). I don’t have all of them to show you so can google anything that sounds exciting but I was […]
Read MoreWe all know about Essence and it’s big sister Catrice cosmetics, right? Well, now the same group launched L.O.V Cosmetics, an even more sophisticated sister, in selected Dis-Chem stores as well as online at takealot.com. I got to play with a few of their goodies at the launch and found their prices on par with […]
Read MoreApologies for the lack of posts this week. I’ve been in Jozi for launches (got back last night) and now I’m running off to another two (eek!) so it’s been a bit cray. You can follow all that in ‘live time’ via twitter (I’m @lipglossgirl) and Instagram (@lipglossgirlxoxo). Still, I’ve now got lots of cool […]
Read MoreLike a good drugstore deal? Rimmel London have launched Magnif’eyes eye contouring shadow palettes and at R169 a pop for eight shades they’re a regte steal. Sure, we’re not talking Urban Decay quality but hey, at less than two hundred bucks for a choice of eight shades, I’ll take it! I mean, even if you […]
Read MoreSo, there’s a new kind of mani coming to town and that’s Gelish Dip! While it sits under the Gelish umbrella, it’s actually quite different to Gelish and kind of straddles the gap between gel and acrylic. The big pros are that it’s longer wearing than gel, doesn’t require a UV light to cure and […]
Read MoreIf you’re a fan of NIVEA’s skin care, particularly their Coenzyme Q10 offerings, you’ll be glad to know they’ve just launched their most Q10-a-licious product yet – NIVEA Q10 Plus anti-wrinkle replenishing serum pearls (R229). A good antioxidant, we know that Q10 occurs naturally in our skin, plays a role in how our cells produce […]
Read MoreThe other day I got whisked off to Robertson to visit the new Four Cousins tasting room, @FourCousins. (While it’s connected to Van Loveren, it’s a totally separate venue.) Getting there means a two hour drive from Cape Town but this wasn’t an ish as the lovely PR, Mira, had organised a shuttle so I […]
Read MoreWhether you’ve got sensitive skin or not, chances are you’re going to like The Body Shop’s new Almond Milk and Honey body care range as much as I do. It’s got a fabulously clean yet warm-smelling scent, almost like something developed for a baby care line, but without the powder. (I hate most powder scented […]
Read MoreDermalogica reckons every face tells a story and they’re right. Your skin isn’t just a snap shot of what’s going on right now but a multi-layered novella that also draws from what’s happened in the past and, with the right products, can have a very happy ending. Right now, however, my skin is a bit […]
Read MoreIf you’re a larger cup size you’ll know the kakness that is trying to find a beautiful-looking bra. (I’m a 32D and almost always end up wearing a 34C as the former is so tricky to find.) Fortunately, as the years have gone by more and more brands are waking up to the fact that […]
Read MoreLike patchouli? I do! And this week I’ve got three fragrances that all make use of the note but couldn’t be more different from each other. First up, if you’re a fragrance junky like me chances are you know about Versace Eros Pour Femme EDP, a lush white floral, but now the brand’s just launched […]
Read MoreI love coffee and feel like my eyes are never really open until I’ve got a mug in my hand so I was only to happy to give GC Skinny green coffee a bash. Made from raw unroasted coffee beans, Skinny coffee is rich in both caffeine and chlorogenic acid and the latter has been […]
