Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Man, that was one crazy long headline but it’s all about the SEO, okay?! So, to get started, if you’re a blonde like me, John Frieda’s Sheer Blonde hair care collection, exclusive to Clicks, has a lot to offer. Like loads. Think violet-tinted shampoos and conditioners to help prevent brassiness plus a Go Blonder range […]
Read MoreBestselling hair care brand Moroccanoil held a launch in Cape Town the other day where myself and fellow ‘beauties’ got to meet the uber-charming Steven Turpin, their international educator. Steven says Moroccanoil made a bit of a splash at this year’s fashion weeks overseas and was used to create the hairstyles seen in shows by Alice + Olivia, Badgley Mischka, […]
Read MoreOkay, so how clever was that Dove Real Beauty sketch ad campaign I tweeted about a while back? It’s gotten so many millions and zillions of hit that I probably don’t need to slap it up again over here but if you haven’t watched this you have to check it out. .. Awesome, right? Anyway, […]
Read MoreSo I finally got my Colgate Optic White Cosmo cover. Anyway, entries for the Colgate Optic White competition have now closed. A whopping 2 417 women entered with shots of their most dazzling smiles but only one will end up nabbing her own Cosmo cover shot (it’ll be printed on the back flap of the real cover) plus a R20 000 shopping […]
Read MoreIf you’re a girl who likes to party you’re going to get invited to one that’s Great Gatsby-themed before the year is out. I almost feel tired thinking about all the 20s-themed events I’ve been invited to in the last little while. Clearly the movie’s started a bit of a thing. Anyway, this is my Great […]
Read MoreIf you haven’t tried Philip Kingsley’s iconic Elasticizer hair treatment you have to make a plan. It’s AMAZING. And yes, it’s not cheap but you need very little and it works like a bomb. It’s the kind of product you splurge on and then hoard, saving it for special occasions when having hair like a magical […]
Read MoreEvery body knows a ghd flat iron kicks ass when it comes to hair straightening. (The new Eclipse is especially good at it and you can read all about that baby over here.) Thing is, you can curl or put waves in your hair with a ghd too; either by wrapping your hair around the […]
Read MoreThe Body Shop have opened a new concept store in Cavendish Square. The newly revamped store is cleaner and brighter-looking with cute little baskets full of product scattered around. Little cards featuring info on key ingredients pop up on the shelves and there’s also a PC station where you can sign up to become a […]
Read MoreDKNY have launched yet another limited edition collection of the Be Delicious fragrances. This time, the trio’s called Be Delicious Art and boasts packaging created by NY graffiti artist Keith Haring. Of the three scents, my favourite is the pink one, Fresh Blossom Art. Because of the fresh grapefruit and rose top notes, it reminds me a lot of […]
Read MoreThe Beauty Factory, for those who don’t know, is a proudly South African bath and body shop. They have a few stores sprinkled around malls up north and I’m sure more will roll out across the country as time goes by. Those in iKapa and other non-Jozi areas can still get their hands on the products […]
Read MoreMy friend Leah is a fab photographer who just so happens to specialise in shooting chicas in their birthday suits. She recently shot one of my little sister’s weddings and explaining to the priest that our happy snapper usually shoots covers and centrefolds for Playboy was – ahem – tres fun. Anyway, Leah threw a partytjie with a difference the other […]
Read MoreThe other day I discovered a Placecol’s AHA Exfoliating Cream tucked in a goodie bag: It contains a mix of exfoliating fruit acids, minerals, proteins and vitamins but I can’t find an ingredients list anywhere to see which ones.
