Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Ready to just jump in sommer? Wella have created a new nature-inspired professional hair care line called Professional Elements. Free of sulphates, parabens and artificial colours, it aims to strengthen your hair from within by fortifying its fibres with keratin. I’ve been using the sham (R207) and con (R243) for a month now and really liked […]
Read MoreHi girls I know I’ve been kak at posting this week but I’m currently swamped with final edits for a TV show I’m working on plus the gauntlet that is fashion week. I’m going to attempt to get a languishing post up later today and aim to revert back to four (hopefully five) posts a week as […]
Read MoreFirst up, Kiehl’s has just launched a BB cream with possibly the longest name in the history of BBs – – Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA +++. The name’s so bloody long that I couldn’t even bring myself to type it out – cut and paste all […]
Read MoreLevi’s have just launched an all new women’s denim collection made up of their original 700 series and newer curvy-fit 800 series and singer/song writer Alicia Keys is the face. To celebrate the launch, the brand invited media to try the styles on before touching up our make-up and hair for an impromptu photo shoot. […]
Read MoreGuess where I’ve been eating while flexing the mooi camera muscles of my HTC One M9? Every time I visit Pigalle, I tell myself I’ll step out of my ‘routine’ and won’t order the trinchado (R79) and a garlic roll (R12) but I do. Every single time. Same goes for their epic trinchado but it’s […]
Read MoreLast week Hey Gorgeous sent me two ‘wintery’ scented body products to trial – Vanilla & Cinnamon body mousse and Vanilla Chai body scrub (prices TBA). I wasn’t a big fan of the Vanilla & Cinnamon scent. While I adore cinnamon, I found the vanilla aspect a little too sweet. Still, from a formulation point of […]
Read MoreWhen I first laid eyes on Essie’s 2015 winter collection my first impressions were that it wasn’t particularly wintery. I mean sure, the obligatory rooi was there (two in fact) but what on earth was up with the white shade? And that pale peach? Ag nee, man, Essie. What’s going on there? Still, the more […]
Read MoreOh hey there, Sporty Spice, I’ve got some good news for you – sportscene, Totalsports and Due South have set up shop in The Foschini Group’s (TFG) online mall. The sporty trio’s current mall buddies are @home and the mobile store hi but TFG aims to have all of its stores online by 2018 which will be […]
Read MoreSpoiler alert: The majority of drug store pigmentation solutions are rubbish. (There, I said it!) Many of them feel adding the teensiest dash of melanin-inhibiting niacinimide to the mix justifies a skin-tone evening claim which often just isn’t enough. Noreva’s Trio White Night-Time Intensive Depigmenting Care (R339,99, Clicks and selected dermatologists), however, takes a multi-pronged approach […]
Read MoreHuman + Kind is a nice line of ‘chemical-free’ and cruelty-free skin and haircare products made using all-natural ingredients. There are no colourants, parabens or perfumes in the mix, making their goodies a good pick for sensitive skin. Then there’s the super pretty packaging. I love that the greener, ‘organic’ trend has opened the door […]
Read MoreHi guys I finally made another video, this time covering various fragrances that have come my way, as it felt like an easy way to blast through a whole bunch of info real fast, but the whole process is a total pain so I don’t know if I’ll be making another any time soon. I’m […]
Read MoreCome Wine With Us, if you haven’t heard about it, is kind of like a monthly supper club that brings together restaurants and wine estates. It’s a great way to try a multi-course vino-paired meal (usually at an awesome price) as well as meet new people. Last week myself and Karisa attended CWWU’s second annual […]
