Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Superbalist have some very mooi things in store right now so when they asked me to make a winter wish list, consisting of a jacket, dress and boots, it was pretty easy. First up, behold their Only Freya biker jacket (R649). Rokkie-wise, there were actually loads that I liked but this Vero Moda Abbi dress […]
Read MoreLast week I was interviewed on the Kellman show on CliffCentral.com along with bloggers Wardah Hartley from Fabufit and Mary Lu, she of LoveMaryLu. If you’d like to listen to the podcast you can do so over here. (I pop up around the 5 minute mark.) One of the biggest questions the girls had for me […]
Read MoreA few weeks back, Essence, that pocket-friendly German beauty brand we all know and love, threw a li’l partytie at The Mount Nelson the other day. The theme was ‘Mad Hatter’s’ and they went all out. After a lot of bubbles and what felt like ten thousand million ‘Eat Me’ biccies (I mean, how can […]
Read MoreGrowing up, I was very lucky to have a mom who was rather glamorous and helped inspire my love of beauty and beautiful things. The kind of woman who doesn’t leave the house without her lipstick on, my mom taught me that taking good care of my skin from the earliest age would be one […]
Read MoreI’ve you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn from the lifestyle blog ‘Becoming You’ you’ll know I’m right when I describe her as ‘lovely’ because that’s exactly what she is. Her blog, which is quite jealousy inducing as it’s so mooi and slick-looking, covers lifestyle, fashion, beauty, family and more. The ‘more’ bit includes a […]
Read MoreEssie’s new fall collection, Leggy Legend, is inspired by a ‘rock era’. They don’t specify which one, but I’m betting it was the 70s as the metallic shades make me think of glam rock and one of the shades called Bell-Bottom Blues. The first colour I slapped on was Colour Binge (R125), a cheerful coral […]
Read MoreBeen wanting to try Lancome’s new Juicy Shakers? I’ve got a very nice li’l special for you girls, but you’ve got to move fast as the brand’s offered it to the first fifteen of my readers who take them up on it. Here’s how it works – pop on over to Red Square (you have to […]
Read MoreI’m a natural blonde but I lift my colour further with highlights every two months or so and, as my hair’s baby fine, especially around my crown area, this means I have to give it a little extra TLC. After washing, the aforementioned crown bits can often look like fuzz and, due to their delicacy, […]
Read MoreRoberto Cavalli have just launched a new summery version of their popular Paradiso scent, Paradiso Azzuro EDP (R805 for 30ml, R1 135 for 50ml and R1 470 for 50ml), inspired by a golden sunrise over the Mediterranean sea. While the original Paradiso was a mix of citrus, jasmine and wood, Azzuro is much he same […]
Read MoreLike most meisies, I enjoy indulging in the odd face mask and thought I’d tell you about three I’ve tried of late. The first is Dermalogica’s new Charcoal Rescue mask (R790). At first I thought it might be your bog standard clay mask with a bit of charcoal in the mix and kind of balked […]
Read MoreRemember how Calvin Klein’s genderless CK One was the smash hit of the 90s? Well, the brand’s set to ensnare a new generation of cool kids with unisex CK2 EDT (R665 for 30ml, R835 for 50ml and R1170 for 100ml) and I can totally see it hitting home. A fresh ozonic-aquatic-grassy type of scent, CK2 […]
Read MoreI live and die at launch events so my cocktailwear collection is a big one, but even so, I still run out of things to wear. So, imagine how thrilled I was when Zando kindly sent me a sexy pair of Utopia peep toe heels… …even better, it came with a beautiful City Goddess London rok! […]
