Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Come the 12th of March (my birthday, actually!) MAC Cosmetics launches a vibrant new collection called MAC x Isabel and Ruben Toldedo. Now, in the name of full disclosure, I had no idea who those people are but a quick google revealed that Isabel is a fashion designer best known for creating Michelle Obama’s inauguration dress while […]
Read MoreHave I ever told y’all how much I love Cotton On? Like, I really, REALLY like their shizz. They’re one of few stores that I know I can walk into and I WILL find something awesome. In fact, it would be fair to say my wardrobe’s sitting at 60% Cotton On but that figures probably […]
Read MoreMaybelline’s latest lippie collection is called MegaWatt, an addition to their long wearing SuperStay line. Much like the regular SuperStay lip colours, it feels nice and light on your lips and promises to stick around for – gasp! – 14 hours (I know, the name’s like suuuch a spoiler). The difference, however, is that pigments […]
Read MoreAs South Africans, we’re pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to lustable jewellers. I mean, who needs Harry Winston, right? Thing is, not every girl will be lucky enough to run around with a Koetter creation on her on her finger (or writs, or ears, or arm…) but here’s the good news – the ultra-luxurious […]
Read MoreI rather like Giorgio Armani Si Intense eau de parfum. It’s a great cold weather or night time perfume that reminds me a lot of Narciso Rodriguez in that it’s musky, sensual and statement-making. However, Armani’s new edition to the line up, Si eau de toilette, is a lighter, fresh new take on the original. […]
Read MoreClarins’ Daily Energizer Cream (a very affordable R255) has been out for a while now. With it’s light creme-gel-like texture and and decent vitamin C-content, it’s an option for anyone with young skin who isn’t especially concerned about wrinkles, be it just yet or ever. It’s also features a seriously delish peach scent that reminds […]
Read MoreFilorga fans, gather round – the French brand’s released yet another serum and it’s a goodie, promising instantly perfected skin that then improves over time. The nitty gitty is as follows: Refined skin texture with fewer lines Tightened pores and a matte appearance A healthy natural golden glow Ready to break it down? As the […]
Read MoreOkay, this isn’t really a review. Nobody needs a ‘review’ of Elizabeth Arden’s bestselling Eight Hour Cream. We all know it’s the shizzle’s nizzle and that it can do a myriad of wondrous things – from healing racehorses back in the day to soothing chapped lips and loading the dish washer for you, this is […]
Read MoreOkay, so the time’s finally come for me to post my Clarisonic review (dun, dun, dun.) If you’ve got your pulse on all things beauty, you’ll know about Clarisonic. It’s essentially the big daddy of sonic cleansing brushes and has been making (sonic) waves in the states for years now, ever since Oprah held one […]
Read MoreAs I type this I’m sitting on a train from Paris to Lille and its freaking FREEZING. A few minutes ago I made the rookie mistake of sitting on a metal bench at the (semi-outdoor) station and I’m now uncertain as to whether I’ll ever be able to feel my vagina again. When I tell […]
Read MoreConfession time! I am biiig into foot files. Like for real. I honestly have about three of them – the regular non-electronic kind – and for someone who’s OCD-addled and freaked out by ‘excess’ that is a very big deal. Even when I went to Thailand and wanted to take the bare freakin’ minimum I […]
Read MoreFor those of you who don’t know, Crest Whitestrips are these little sticky tape-type things that are infused with lots of peroxide. I slap them on my teeth every week or so and bleach the shit out of them ‘cos I like them looking white. Maybe this is bad for them and they’ll all fall […]
