Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
But only just. This week’s been a bit of a killer work wise which is great for my ‘buy a house without a man’ plan, but not so good for my blog. But I’ll be back soon, I promise. Friday at the soonest and Monday at the latest. Thanks for bearing with me! Leigh x […]
Read MoreIt’s October which means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and, if you’re a beauty editor, it also heralds the beginning of The Onslaught o’ Pink. Still, this isn’t something I mind too much. In fact, I’m actually quite down with pink, even though I don’t always wear it every Wednesday. However, if that Mean Girls […]
Read MoreYou know how you get those people who are all like ‘Bleh! I hate lip gloss/lipstick/foundation with a scent!’ Well, I’m not one of those people. I actually almost feel a little cheated if I whip open a zexy new gloss and it doesn’t boast some kind of yummilicious fragrance. And a flavour’s even better. […]
Read MoreI’ve always liked Woolies’ super cute JT One underwear line and have actually learned quite a bit more about it as I spent much of my Sunday writing a segment about their recent launch into a luxe Australian department store, David Jones, for Top Billing. The JT One empire is also expanding locally to now […]
Read MoreIf you’re a big ghd fan (i.e. a woman with hair), you’ll know the eclipse used to be the brand’s big kahuna. A styler so fierce, it could flatten pretty much anything. Now, however, it’s being discontinued in favour of a new super styler called the platinum (R2 899) that’s available in key salons as […]
Read MoreL’Oreal, for the most part, have always whipped out fab eyeliners and their pocket-friendly newbie, Super Liner Superstar eye liner (R144,95), is no exception. It claims to have a ‘corseted tip’ but I honestly have no idea what that means and I don’t care. I just love that it’s got a super fine tip that […]
Read MoreL’Oreal’s new Brow Artist Genius Kit (R169,95) is one of the best drugstore brow kits I’ve come across in ages. Years maybe. It includes a wax to shape and as well as a powder to fill in. The latter works perfectly with the wax, which is the perfect amount of waxiness, by adhering to it […]
Read MoreLike most people, I adore The Body Shop goodies, but their indulgent new Spa of the World collection is especially lustable. A line up of home spa goodies inspired by exotic spots like Morocco and Hawaii, its divvied into three lines the brand refers to as rituals – relax, revitalise and bliss. I was […]
Read MoreA week or so back, I popped into Freebees PR’s spring media day and left with a bulging sack o’ goodies from all their clients. It’s going to take me a while to work through it but I’ll be sure to mention any favourite things that stick out on the blog. The brand that’s impressed […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I agreed to take on 22seven’s money-saving GY$T challenge a few weeks earlier. You can learn more about the app (amazing!) and more about the challenge over here, but if you’re already in the loop keep reading. Get around for less The first task of my seven part […]
Read MoreThe other day Diesel got hold of me to offer a pair of their new jogg jeans. Initially I was hesitant as I imagined them to look like those weird skinny leg, drawstring tracksuit pants with the saggy crotch and, as I’m a normal girl with a normal girl body I knew they wouldn’t flatter […]
Read MoreI first sniffed new Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme EDP (price TBA) at a launch where I’d been exposed to ten thousand million other fragrances so it didn’t make a big impression as my nose was addled by so many other things. When I opened up it at home, however, my first thoughts were ‘Damn, […]
