Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
Clicks ClubCard magazine needed an example of a Glamour Girl for their Christmas gift guide. Obviously, I was like the first person that sprung to mind. Like obviously… I suppose I’ll know I’ve only really made it when people learn to spell my freakin’ name right. Love, love Leigh
Read MoreWhat did I say about every single brand on God’s green earth is going to bring out a BB cream? Hey?! Was I right or was I right? The force is, like, uber-strong with that particular beauty trend… In fact, overseas, they’re now starting to see the emergence of something called a CC cream! Anyway, […]
Read MoreI’ve always known that Shiseido do fragrances but I’ve never smelled one; limited edition Zen Secret Bloom is my first and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Every time I’ve spritzed it on I’ve had someone ask me what I’m wearing; it’s not exactly a loud-type of kind of scent (think Angel) but it is strong enough for people to […]
Read MoreAm I like the only girl in the whole bloody universe who hasn’t seen the Twilight movies? I just don’t understand the appeal of that miserable-looking girl and her difficult choice between Pale Face and Wolf Boy. I mean seriously girls, why aren’t there any hot zexy men in that flick? I don’t understand it. […]
Read MoreSee? They’ve stuck my gesiggie on their Facebook page along with some of my top summer beauty tips: Just about every brand has a Facebook page right now and most of them are utterly craptastic. Five Roses, however, clearly have someone who’s on the ball editing theirs ‘cos it’s actually kinda absorbing. You can check it […]
Read MoreLike fresh, yummy, good-for-you food? Wellness Warehouse has opened a Wellness Cafe in Wembley Square and its all kinds of awesome. First off, if you’re an allergy baby, they’re sooo ready to cater for you. No eye rolling when you ask if there’s a gluten- or dairy-free options. While they offer brekkie (until 11:30), wraps, […]
Read MoreFirst up, apologies if you’ve felt I’ve been a bit scarce on twitter. I spent just over a month as acting beauty and decor ed for YOU, Huisgenoot and Drum and boy did it keep me busy. Sjoe! I’ve finished up there now (but will still be working for them on a freelance basis) and am about to join All4women.co.za as […]
Read MoreMane n’ Tail shampoo has always been on my radar. Every time I’ve read a story on ‘crazy’ celeb beauty tips it’s always gotten a li’l mention ‘cos Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston are big fans. So, you can only imagine how curious I was upon learning it’s now available in SA. Still, to make it clear, […]
Read MoreThey say diamonds are a girls’ best friend but, if you’re saving for a deposit on a house like me, crystals are just as alluring. Especially crystals set in a pretty li’l Shambala bracelet like this one: Pretty, pretty, pretty, right? It’s made out of Swarovski elements, Preciosa Czech crystal and hematite beads and comes […]
Read MoreMavala have a shiny new nail collection called Show Time; a quintet of sparkly glitter-infused shades. I was wearing a coral red nail polish the day they arrived (Revlon’s Red Bikini) so I decided to glam it up even further by slicking a few coats of Sparkling Red over it. You’ll see that the sparkles are […]
Read MoreWhen you get to test what feels like ten million zillion products you can become a little jaded. In fact – and I’m not proud to admit it – I’ve been known to slather expensive (yet crappily formulated) night creams on my legs and arms like a body lotion, ‘cos, well, I can. Still, this never detracts from the sheer delight I take in discovering the odd gem; a product that […]
Read MoreLove getting gel manis but hate shelling out up to R300 a pop? You’re going to love Sensationail; it’s pretty much all you need to give your gel mani chica the bye bye hand. Possibly. I mean, if you’re a bit rubbish at application like me you’re probably still going to want to hit up the nail bar. Also, that way you’ll […]
