French beauty brand Filorga have recently launched a new eye cream and this one’s rather nice.

The newbie, however, Eyes-Absolute (R840 […]

Read MoreReady to roll? Rimmel have just launched new mono shadows called Magnif’eyes (R79,95) and they’re huuuge so from a bang-for-your-buck perspective that’s pretty good. The colour selection is mostly neutrals, the odd pale colour pop (baby blue and pink) and two darker hues to help you smoke it up. For the most part, they really […]

Read MoreReady to get stuck in? First up, let’s chat about Giorgio Armani Si Intense Night Light Edition EDP (R1 190 for 50ml). This isn’t a new launch, per se, as this sweet-smelling gem launched a few years back. But now, it’s all dressed up in limited edition packaging. Much like the original Si EDP, the […]
Read MoreOk, so let’s chat John Varvartos. Now this is a male fragrance line, one I’d never heard of before, but bear with me. I popped into Jozi for the launch the other day and learned that John is a fancy pants designer who used to work for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein before going his […]
