Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Woolworths has a brand new in-house make-up line in store. I’m not sure what to call it as it doesn’t seem to have a name but each item has the word ‘about’ in it’s title. I.e. ‘About The Pout High Pigment lipgloss and ‘Wink About It Eye Trio’. The range caters for eyes, lips, cheeks and nails and offers […]
Read MoreSo it was my birthday the other day (okay, okay, so it was like a month ago) and the sweet peeps at Nimue SA sent me a li’l gift in the form of their Exfoliating Enzyme treatment. My flatmate almost started hyperventilating when it arrived as she’s a freak for Nimue and has been using […]
Read MoreMy friend Tam has started her own mobile beauty biz, Glow Cape Town: Spray Tan and Make-up. For R250 she’ll come to your house and give you a spray tan thanks to a pop-up tent. If you go to her in Kenilworth, it’s only R150. Tam’s also a trained make-up artist so she offers make-up […]
Read MoreSo you’re a total slet for Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream. You slap it on everything. Bath in it even. Maybe you like to eat it sommer. But the damn tube lasts forever. How are you going to get another fix of having a new Eight Hour goodie in your life? I mean, you already own […]
Read MoreLocal online fashion store Indiemode recently whipped up a list of their top ten fashion blogs and I was thrilled to nab the number one spot. While they said the list was in no particular order, let’s just call a spade a spade here. We all know I’m a freakin’ fashion goddess and they only said that so as […]
Read MoreSo I got a little lovin’ from Sally Hansen in the form of their new Smooth & Perfect hand cream (R94,95) and Complete Salon Manicure Dry & Go drops (R79,95). The hand cream, just so you know, is very nice. It moisturises well but absorbs fast and isn’t greasy or sticky feeling. It’s also got […]
Read MoreThis weekend myself and fellow blogger besties Clouds and Karisa were invited to take part in Glamour magazine’s annual Stiletto Run held at The Table Bay Hotel. Essentially, you have to do a 100m dash in a pair of stilettos (they need to be at least 7cm high) and pray to the fashion gods that you […]
Read MoreRevlon have just launched a new nail colour called Brilliant Strength. It boasts a built in base and top coat and promises to help protect your nails from breaking and brittleness. I was given a few shades to play with and most enjoyed wearing Intrigue, a sky blue hue with a slight shimmer. I liked […]
Read MoreIf you’re a fan of Vichy, you’ll probably be aware or maybe even use the brand’s new-ish Liftactiv Serum 10. It’s riddled with rhamnose, a fruit sugar that’s been proven in vitro to tell naughty, misbehaving fibroblasts to kom reg and produce collagen like a good cell should. Now, Vichy’s gone and launched this li’l darling: […]
Read MoreThis month sees the launch of Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer (R89,99). Apocalips is neither a lipstick or gloss but more of a high impact creamy liquid lip colour with a satin finish that’s isn’t sticky in the least. Application is easy and even thanks to a doe’s foot applicator and just one slick delivers a serious […]
Read MoreCrabtree & Evelyn have recently launched a new interpretation of one of their most luxurious fragrances, Evelyn Rose. The original Evelyn Rose was inspired by an actual rose of the same name that was bred especially for the brand. The new scent retains the sophistication of the original, but has been injected with a new […]
Read MoreWhen it comes to sexy night time scents I’m only partial to three on the shelf: Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur (‘Let’s go get it on in the bathroom’); Thierry Mugler Alien Sunessence (‘I’m a classy, slightly eccentric girl with expense taste, get your hands off me , you cretin’) and Narciso Rodriguez […]
