Woolworths sent me a few items from their new African Ingredients range, available in two variants – Engergising and Calming – and they’re all utterly divine.

Is anyone else sick of hearing about Kylie bloody Jenner and her stupid lip kits? I am. But either way, she’s launched two new shades and both of them are blue. Having tried blue lippie myself – on live TV nogal – I can tell you right now that it’s a super hard look to […]
