Ready to jump in? Let’s start with Oscar de la Renta Extraordinary eau de parfum. While Oscar’s original perfumes aren’t favourites of mine, mostly because they just smell dated, the fashion brand’s newer juices are reaching to a much younger audience. Remember Oscar Flor? New Extraordinary is very much it’s ‘sister’. A fresh floral, Extraordinary’s the […]
Lately, it kind of feels like every vegesaurus I know has stepped things up a notch to become a vegan (‘what do you mean we can’t abuse Spur’s 2 for 1 special anymore?!’) so I’ve got friends asking things like ‘can you recommend any good vegan-friendly cosmetics lines?’ In this case, I usually just direct […]
A while back Catrice and Essence sent me a bunch of their new goodies and I thought I’d show off a few of the stand outs, starting with Catrice. First up, their new Chocolate Nudes palette is rather nice. I remember trying another of their palettes a while back and wasn’t all that impressed as […]
Later this month, Elizabeth Arden have just launched yet another product within their crazy successful Eight Hour Cream line up and this one’s a goodie – All-Over Miracle Oil for face, body and hair (R385). Initially, the fact that they slapped ‘miracle’ in the name kind of irked me. I was worried they’d step into […]
We all know about Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula – it’s been around for years and has a bit of cult following, I reckon. Except for me. I honestly can’t stand the stuff. It’s scent is just so darn sweet in a way that feels suffocating. Bleh. In fact, let’s make that a double bleh plus […]
So I’ve come to the end of my Forever 21 blogger challenge and my third and final outfit is very much 70s inspired. The era’s pretty much the biggest trend driver this summer what with wide-legged jeans, wedges and bohemian-feeling tops being big, big news. I seriously love this top and was thrilled to discover […]
Forever 21 is continuing to help me knock things off my Christmas wish list thanks to the very generous gift card that comes part and parcel with their blogger challenge. Thus, I give unto thee my second summer outfit – a cullotes and crop top number that sounds like every woman’s nightmare but is actually […]
Look who’s arrived just in time for Christmas – a sexy new limited edition ghd styler called Arctic Gold (R2 299)! Out of all the once-off stylers ghd has whipped out this year (remember Vintage Pink?) I reckon this platinum-coloured darling (not to be confused with the top of the line ghd Platinum styler) is […]
As you know, Lux spoiled me with a Soft Touch hamper the other day. It consisted of all the things I’d need to pamper myself at home in a bid to ‘ignite my romantic spark’ and draw a Prince Charming into my life, one who’d be tall and kind and clever as well as own […]
I don’t know about you but I love a li’l competition and when you throw a shopping spree into the mix then you’ve definitely got my attention. This is how I came to accept a serious spoil from Forever 21 – a gift card to put together three outfits in a bid to win an […]
If you thought Revlon’s love affair with Fire & Ice was a 90’s thing, you’d be wrong. It initially started as a lipstick and nail polish collection that launched back in the 50’s (yep, it’s been that long!) and the original oriental fragrance only popped up in ’94. Later, Fire & Ice Cool popped up in […]
Everyone’s favourite Italian amaretto, Disaronno, is known for it’s designer tastes. A little while back it got a limited edition Moschino ‘outfit’ and now the divalicious almond-flavoured liqueur is rocking Cavalli. In the spirit of the silly season, I’m going a li’l comp wild on the blog and have not one but two limited edition […]
