Morgan Taylor’s winter collection, The Great Ice-Scape, has arrived on SA shores. It features six new (mostly) cool-toned shades (R149 each) inspired by figure skating. I was given two to play with – the frosty copper that is Ice Queen Anyone? and Lace ‘Em Up, a dark navy creme. While Ice Queen Anyone? doesn’t really […]
Having a little sister who lives in France (between Lille and St Tropez) is pretty awesome because I’ve got to spend a bit of time that side and it’s a wonderful place to visit. The last time I was in Paris I got to see the Eiffel tower, watch the Lido, hang out in Salvador […]
When the PR for Little Eskimo first got in touch, asking if I’d review their ice masks I wasn’t all that excited. (Sorry Jonathan!) I kind of thought that if I really wanted to ice my face I’d just wrap up some ice and get jiggy with that. But nobody really does that. It’s awkward […]
Dermalogica’s launched Nightly Lip Treatment and it’s lovely stuff. I usually put lip balm on before bed, especially in winter, to stop my lips from drying out in the night but have substituted that for Dermalogica’s newbie. While it’s called Nightly Lip Treatment it’s actually meant to be used around your entire mouth area to help […]
I’m often asked about sulfate-free shampoos and who should use them and the short answer is that they’re a great pick for anyone really, but if you’re managing fine using something containing sulfates then you don’t have to stress about it. I personally don’t believe sulfates like SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) are ‘bad’ for you, […]
L’Oreal have just launched a new liquid lippie to love called Infallible Lip Paint/Matte (R179,95). The shades range from nude to super bright and they’ve got a lot of silicone in them so they glide on nicely to create a smooth matte lip colour. I’ve also noticed that if you opt for the brighter/darker colours, […]
How kak is this year’s flu? Seems like everyone I chat to feels like they’re either getting it, currently tackling it or, like me, is just getting over it. While I appreciated the chance it gave me to lie in bed and binge watch The Handmaid’s Tale (so good you guys! OMG!), I could’ve done […]
Essie’s new winter collection ‘Getting Groovy’ has arrived! Inspired by the swinging 60s, it invites you to catch a double decker bus to a London club where you can rock your platforms and boa by the scattered light of a disco ball. Of all the shades I’ve immediately gravitated to Party on a Platform (R129,95, […]
When a pakkie arrives from Lush it’s always a good day. If you order from them online you’ll know I’m not lying when I say you can usually smell your goodies before you open the parcel. Anyway, this particular package was full of what the PR said would help me take care of my ‘mouth’ as […]
Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Shake filling powder (R99,95) has just hit the shelves and I love, love, love it! The applicator’s a little weird, kind of like a slim, furry spider leg, but it works like a bomb to transfer the brow powder (which I’ve found to be very long-wearing) in a way that’s […]
L’Oreal have sent me a whack of newbies and I’ll be working my way through the pile but lets start with new mascara False Lash Superstar x Fiber (R184,95, Dis-Chem). I really didn’t think I’d like this as I’m not a fan of 2-phase mascara and don’t like fibery bits as they can end up […]
When Lancome launched Juicy Shaker a while back I thought the packaging was super duper cute but it didn’t really find a permanent home in my make-up bag but only due to a matter of personal preference. I’m just not a lip oil kind of girl. New Juicy Shaker Matte (R315), however, is a completely […]
