Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
One Juice have been whipping out top notch cold-pressed juice for ages but now the Sea Point store in Regent Road is selling awesome Super Smoothies too. But wait, it gets even better. They’re also offering smoothie ingredients in a tub that you can freeze and then whip up at home for just R29 a […]
Read MoreI’ve been aware of the The Balm cosmetics for a while now, often spotting them when I travel, and have wondered if the super cute brand was ever going to hit South African shores and that day has finally come. You’ll now find it in selected Stuttafords stores as well as in a stand alone […]
Read MoreRight! Who’s ready for another new fragrance round up? They’re literally raining down right now so let’s get to it. First up, we’ve got Cartier L’Envol. This is actually a male fragrance but its notes are so interesting and transgressive it’s actually pretty genderless. In fact, in a way, it reminds me of most Jo […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know myself and bestie Karisa recently travelled there and had an absolute blast.

Read MoreBeauty oils are big news right now with just about every brand launching a hydrating, often antioxidant-rich blend and now Dermalogica’s joined the party with a lovely li’l product called Phyto Replenish Dewy Skin facial oil (R1 290).

Read MoreA while back I attended an Urban Decay lunch where I got to sit next to Sophie Lilley (suuuuch a lekker chick), the Assistant VP of Global Business Development for Urban Decay. She was rocking a vibrant green shadow on her lids called Zodiac from the brand’s super glittery Moon Dust line and was saying […]
Read MoreElizabeth Arden Green Tea has been one of my go to summer scents since the dawn of time. I love its green, zingy freshness that kind of acts like an instant pick-me-up. Over the years they’ve whipped out a crazy long list of flankers and some have been great (holla to Green Tea Summer!) and […]
Read MoreMax Factor Lasting Performance foundation (R195,95, Clicks) has been around since dinosaurs roamed the earth but – confession alert – I’d never tried it. That is until now. I was recently given two shades to try as the product’s gotten a little packaging upgrade and its left me really impressed. The promise is a full […]
Read MoreDove have recently launched a new line called Purely Pampering that aims to help you create a tranquil spa-like experience in your home. To celebrate the launch, they sent me a pamper pack that included the new shower gels and soaps plus a yummy little box of vanilla-infused dried coconut flakes that lasted all of […]
Read MoreThe Body Shop have just launched a new line up of 100-percent vegetarian ‘super food’ face masks (R300 each), many of which are vegan, and free of parabens, silicone, mineral oils and paraffins. Each one draws inspiration from a destination like the Amazon or Ethiopia and aims to achieve a beauty goal like hydration, brightening […]
