Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Due to various random reasons, I’ve missed the Bastille Festival for two years running, which is suuuch a pity as it’s one of the best things to do in Franschhoek next to its epic champagne festival. This year, however, there’s nothing holding me back and I’ll be hitting up the venue with a bunch of super […]

Read MoreI love a good cream eye shadow and am still mourning the loss of Benefit’s Creaseless Cream shadow/liner in Busy Signal, the perfect shade of bronze. Max Factor, however, have launched fantastic formula called Excess Shimmer (R129,95, exclusive to Clicks). Each shade promises to stay put for hours and really does as promised. In fact, […]
Read MoreWhen local hot styling tools brand Veaudry offered to send me their iStyler (R1 190, retailbox.co.za), I didn’t quite click until it arrived that it was a mini travel styler.

Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I’m a massive fan of retinol. Much the same way your body needs several vitamins to function, your skin needs multiple ingredients to live it’s best life BUT, if I haaaad to pick just one to really invest in, it would always be retinol. A potent form of […]
Read MoreOkay, so we all know I’m having a love affair with Pigalle right now. Their seafood platter special (R495 for two) is the shizzle’s nizzle and every time someone tells me they gave it a bash and was totally blown away I totally get off on being all ‘I know, right?! I totally told you […]
Read MoreA little back myself and two beauty besties, Lauren from Dearheart Beauty and Emmy from Rouge Beauty popped into Dreamnails in Cavendish to grab a quick Dream Pedicure (R225).
