Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Eucerin’s new Anti-Redness Concealing Day Cream (R230) boasts a green tint in a bid to minimise the look of redness as well as an SPF of 25. I don’t feel qualified to ‘review’ this properly as I don’t suffer from rosacea or redness but I do want you guys to know it exists as an […]
Read MoreAs you know, I’m a proud HTC girl and was happily using the wondrous M8 before recently upgrading to the new One M9 32 GB. I’ve had a while to play with it and and gotta tell you, I’m definitely an android girl for life now. Just about all the things I loved about the M8 […]
Read MoreWinter’s not quite done with us but it’s on it’s way out and that means it’s time to lay off the dark ‘I’m a gloomy hipster sippin’ Sxollie cider in The Village Idiot’ nail colour shades (and by that I mean anything grey, oxblood, navy or black) and make the move towards pretty pastels and […]
Read MoreA while back Moroccanoil launched a new Smooth collection consisting of a shampoo (R350), conditioner (R370), blow dry lotion (R430) and mask (R570) specially formulated to sleeken unruly, frizz-prone locks without sacrificing volume. Everything in the line up contains antioxidant-rich argan oil and strengthening amino acids and the conditioner and mask takes things a step […]
Read MoreThierry Mugler love to reincarnate their bestselling Angel and there have been some real goodies along the starlit path, my favourite still being the light and lovely Aqua Chic 2o13. The latest limited edition version, however, is called Eau de Sucree (R695 for 50ml) and this one’s for serious gourmand lovers only in that it’s a […]
Read MorePrettily packaged French beauty brand SAMPAR is back in South Africa, this time in Edgars once more as well as Woolies. I was given 3 Day Weekend (R250) to try and it’s a bit of an interesting cat in that it promises a healthy-looking glow but doesn’t use any self tan ingredients or a tint. […]
Read MoreBikini weather is impending so I’ve started running again, out on the prom in Green Point as well as near the Rhodes Memorial in the burbs. This means I’m slapping on more sunscreen and have several favourites, one being Eucerin’s new creme-gel that I chatted about the other day. While I’ve never had a problem […]
Read MoreMy friend Darryn is always one of the first to discover super useful apps so when he mentioned his love affair with 22seven I didn’t hesitate to download and boy am I glad I did. And ‘love affair’ is perfectly apt. You have no idea how many times a day I open it up. Or […]
Read MoreDove have just launched yet another body wash – Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing body wash (R33,99). It’s got a lovely ‘creamy’-feeling formula enriched with natural plant oils and free of ‘strippy’ sodium lauryl sulphate – the kind I like to use in winter when my skin feels a little drier. Another plus is it’s nice, ‘clean’ […]
Read MoreA whopload of new fragrances have recently crossed my desk so I thought I’d cover a few now and some more later. I tried to photograph them earlier but I’m not happy with the gloomy light situation (clouds, can you just go away already?!) so note that I’ll be updating this post as the day […]
Read MoreWhenever I’m asked to recommend a spa with a view The Westin’s, which has recently been rebranded to become a Heavenly Spa, is one that always springs to mind. Situated on the 19th floor of the hotel, you’re treated to a panoramic cityscape that includes the mountain and harbour and, to me, this is just […]
Read MoreA little while ago I discovered I was on the SA Beauty Blog Awards’ long list and oh boy was it a looong one. It basically featured every single chica in South Africa who’d ever vomited up a post, some of which hadn’t written anything in years. Awkward! I then proceeded to check out their […]
