Sally Hansen have a new nail strengthener about to hit the shelves, but before I tell you about it, let me just give you a little background in regards to nail strengtheners in general… As you know, the part of your nail that we can see is a non-living structure and thank God for that; […]

First up, how awesome is Oscar Pistorius? I got to interview him years back for a Cosmo ‘sexy man’ special and remember how he stood out as one of the nicest of the bunch. (Not that it wasn’t too difficult. I remember having to use sooo much ‘creative editing’ to prevent some of the schmodel […]

Lancome Hypnose is definitely in my top five when it comes to favourite mascaras; I love how it glides on with ease and manages to create lush-looking volume but still define and lengthen at the same time.

By the time you read this, I’ll be in France with my li’l sis, Mands, who lives Lille, along with my American cousins, Elle and Van, who’ve been visiting for a whole week already. (So far I’ve missed out on an impromptu trip to Belgium and Elle’s surprise 30th that Mands threw in a beautiful old castle.

…but you can relax ‘cos it was made out of paper: They’re running a competition at the mo where all you have to do is SMS the code behind your ‘Sparkle On’ label to 45118 to find out if you’re the winner of an instant prize. (Think spa treatments, fancy dinners and more.) If not, you’ll at least […]

The world’s gone mad for bloody BB Creams and it would seem like every brand in the world is making a plan to add one to their line up. Garnier, however, is one of the first ‘drug store’ brands available in South Africa and the moment it hits the shelves (Clicks first) it’s going to […]

So, as you know, I’ve been having iLipo sessions at Skin & Body Renewal in the Cape Quarter. Don’t know what iLipo is? Go check out my first post over here. I’m sick of explaining it to people over and over who overhear a snippet of what I’m saying and then shriek ‘OMFG! You had LIPOSUCTION?!! Why […]

A few weeks back, INGLOT invited a bunch of ‘beauties’ to their Canal Walk store to give us a sneak preview of a few of the goodies they’ll be launching as the year rolls out. The real highlight, however, was these guys: Oh! And the part when they told us we could each pick out […]
