Ramblings of a rampant beauty editor…
I don’t know about you but I love French pharmacy brands and I’m thrilled every time a new one pops up on South African shores (Can Biotherm just rock up already? I love their fresh, uplifting fragrances.) I hadn’t heard of Mixa, however, despite the fact that it’s been going strong since 1924, but got […]

I know the first question I’ll be asked when I hit publish is ‘what is your favourite exfoliant?’ so let’s knock that out right here. I’m big on exfoliation and am locked in a long-term love affair with Dermalogica’s microfoliant. Yes, I know. It’s super expensive and very easy to extol its wonders when you’re being given it […]

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, […]

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 […]

PETA-approved, pocket friendly and yet top quality, there’s lots to love about Danish beauty brand GOSH Cosmetics (exclusive to Edgars and Red Square). I was recently sent a bunch of their goodies to play with and, for me, the stars of the show have to be their Forever Shadow eye shadow sticks (R160). If you’re a […]

Nivea has always been a nice pick when it comes to body wash and now they’ve added a newbie to their line up – Nivea Care Shower Creme Oil Pearls (R39,99). Available in two variants, Cherry Blossom and Lotus, each wash is infused with sunflower and argan oil so it’s a nice way to come […]

We all know Jozi’s sexy standalone Urban Decay would be the first of many but waiting for them to roll out has been an exercise in patience. We want our primer potion pronto! Anyway, it looks like all your ultimate UD dreams are coming true for those living in CT and Pretoria. Each city is […]
Read MoreRestylane – yep, the brand that makes injectable fillers – have recently launched a basic skin care line. The Day Cream SPF 15 (R600, Dermastore) is a nice pick for anyone with a balanced to ever so slightly dry skin type* wanting a basic moisturiser that serves up a little sun protection. First up, I […]
Read MoreThere are a zillion reasons as to why you want a ghd styler in your life but now I’ve got two to toss into the bonfire that is your burning desire for seriously good hair. The first is that the brand’s recently launched a new limited edition collection in pink. And not just any pink, […]
Read MoreEvery now and again I pop up on Expresso as part of their Fash Pack to chat fashion and beauty trends with their regulars – Alexis Chaffe Mey, Margaux Knuppe and Robyn Kahn. The latter wasn’t around this time but we did have a special guest in the form of Mela presenter and all round […]
Read MoreA while back Benefit sent me the new edition to their family – They’re Real! tinted primer (R295, selected Edgars stores and Red Square). First up, can we get a round of applause for the fact that this dude is brown? So many primers are needlessly white and your final look ends up being ashy. […]
Read MoreSo how’s that for a ridiculously long and clunky heading? Still, SEO is a total thing, okay? Now let’s talk about lips! Sometimes mine are full and sometimes they’re, well, not as full. This is because I’ve been plumping them up on and off over the past few years using Restylane, a temporary filler. It’s […]
