I have a good friend (hoezit Chelle!) who works as a buyer for The Foschini Group and I kind of hate her a little. She gets a ridiculous discount off all their stuff, something crazy like 33%. Maybe 40%. I’m not sure. But either way I’m as jealous as all hell. I mean – hello […]

Elizabeth Arden have just launched a new foundation compact, Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup, R295. How fabulously elegant-looking is the compact? I love that it’s got a mirror. It also includes a square sponge, but I tossed this in favour of one of my own super soft oval-shaped sponges which made it much easier to work with. […]

Juicy Couture fans, listen up. The brand’s just launched another flanker to the original; Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur. The new scent is a light fruity white floral inspired by ‘the blushing aura of first love’. The woman they reckon should be wearing it is confidently sexy, eclectic, self-reflecting and a bit of […]

First up, I have to tell you about Nuri Sushi Factory in Parliament street. OMG! It’s this random little spot in town owned by a guy who used to be involved with the Caviar group so, sushi-wise, dude knows exactly what he’s doing but is pretty much giving it away for free. Think R43 for eight pieces of fancy pants spicy prawn […]

While in the shop, I took a few snaps of the pieces that caught my eye… …afterwards, however, I discovered I’d shot […]

The last time I attended a Crocs event I ended up sitting down on a prop deckchair and slamming my ass into the floor. It hurt. A lot. So I was a little wary about attending a Crocs blogger photoshoot to promote their new Wellie rainboots but I sucked it up and hit send on […]

Style36 sent me a spoilicous pakkie of treats the other day to highlight some of the beauty brands they have in store. I was thrilled to see the Bioderma cleanser in the mix; it’s one of my beauty staples ‘cos it feels like water on your skin but takes off sommer anything. I’ve also used Uriage Thermal […]

When it comes to pigmentation, I’m not really inclined to look for solutions from drugstore brands. Many of them contain proven spot-lightening ingredients, things like niacin (vitamin B3) and vitamin C but, because they’re cheap cheap, they don’t have a high enough concentration of them of to really be super effective. It’s kind of the […]

I’ve mentioned this before, but Mavala’s quite the stellar nail care brand and doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. They’re not the glossy li’l fashion princess of the nail world (here’s looking at you Essie and OPI) but the quality of their products is tip freakin’ top. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact zat zee brand is German. (Can you […]
