Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend (I’m not sure if it’s the Saturday or the Sunday) and, to celebrate, The Body Shop’s serving up a Mother’s Day collection that’s essentially their lovely Vitamin E line repackaged with a cute Union Jack and crown combo to tie in with their whole ‘treat your mum like a queen’ […]

Read MoreClarins’ latest foundation promises to serve up 15 hours of coverage while helping to mattify your skin in a way that doesn’t look ‘flat’. Does it live up to it’s claims? Hells yes! In short, this stuff is awesome. Thanks to mattifying bamboo powder, the foundation managed to control mild ‘oilies’. I still had to […]
Read MoreSally Hansen have created a new polish system called Miracle Gel. They say it’s the only true 2-step gel manicure with no light needed and I just have to take issue with that. I mean, the very characteristic that defines a ‘gel’ polish from a regular one is the fact that it doesn’t dry on […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know that I feel antioxidants are an important part of a good skin care routine if your focus is to attempt to turn back time. Along with retinol and AHAs, antioxidants are your skin’s best friends. So, I was keen to try out SkinCeutical’s new Resveratrol B E antioxidant […]
Read More‘Live dangerously. Dress Flawlessly’. That’s the anthem of Essie’s autumn collection, Dressed to Kilt, a zexy little line up inspired by ‘espionage and the thrill of the chase’. For me, ‘cos I pretty much live and die in red polish when the chilly season sets in, Dress to Kilt is the hero of the bunch. […]

Read MoreRimmel’s Moisture Renew lipstick (R99) serves up intense, hydrating colour enriched with collagen-encouraging vitamins A, C and E. Better yet, it boasts an SPF of 20. While the line’s been around for a while, it’s extended to roll out four new nude hues and a bright zexy fuchsia. I like that each shade feels nice […]
Read MoreAh, Pigalle. One of Cape Town’s more infamous restaurants, everyone know’s it’s the spot to hit up for a delicious dinner with a dash of Portuguese flavour followed by a little whirl around their dance floor. They also boast a classic cigar lounge and private dining room that’s pretty much always booked out. In fact, […]
Read MoreIf you’re a regular reader you’ll know I luuurve me some AHAs. (That’s alpha hydroxy acids to the uninitiated.) In fact, if I had to rely on just three ingredients to slap on my skin it might be retinol, AHA and vitamin C, but we all know you can’t create a masterpiece with just three […]
Read MoreOkay, first things first – this product’s name is terrifying. Corpus Paradoxe? Isn’t that just a flesh-eating zombie movie just waiting to happen? Errrrmiiigodddd! That aside, Beaute’ Pacifique’s body oil’s a lovely product, as are most of the brand’s items. It’s part of the new Corpus Paradoxe line that makes use of natural actives procyanidin […]
Read MoreI don’t know about you but that four-day ‘weekend’ was exactly what the doctor ordered. I spent mine slothing it up at my folks’ place in Port Elizabeth where I got to abuse their Nespresso machine, paint my nails a thousand times with Essie’s new fall collection (more on that later) and spent countless hours […]
