Vanilla Bean cupcakes {recipe}

This weekend was my darling friend, Anna’s, birthday which is always an exciting day as she really does know how to do birthdays! I decided to make her some cupcakes that I had seen onJoy the Baker’s blog(one of my favourite baking sites) that had the real deal kind of icing – I’m talking butter, […]

My Payot

Payot is a range that I actually hadn’t tried before, but being from Paris I had no doubt that it would be good (Payot from Paris, not me – obvs). The French just know how to do skincare (and macaroons, and pastries, and fashion, and, and, and). I recently got sent a few products from […]

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Colours

Note: I very sadly deleted this original post (along with all the fab comments), so here is the recovered version. Boo I was spoilt by Revlon with these four Just Bitten lip stains a week ago and have since been addicted. Literally! I even found myself (after a face mask and ready for bed) trying […]

Cosmo Lingerie ’12

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the annualCosmopolitan Lingerie party. I am not usually one for events but I have really enjoyed this one in the past, I think my main reason being that it acts as my supposed summer motivation; well that’s what I tell myself at least. I sometimes think us […]

A few of my Instagrams

This is my second post of my Instagrams (you can see my first one here) – just sharing a few things I have been up to lately or simply pretty pictures that I have taken on my phone 🙂 Sorting out my beauty cupboards at home  Lunch at Queen of Tarts in Obs – see […]

My beauty storage tips

I have been asked a number of times to share how I store my beauty products and make up and it is one of those things that I am constantly trying to stay on top of. I really try not be a cluttery kind of person but really do have a ridiculous amount of beautiful […]

Ralph Lauren: Big Pony

Ralph Lauren have launched their all-new Big Pony collection that certainly grabbed my attention – such pretty colours and so summery, I think! Image source I got sent the blue fragrance so can’t comment on the whole range unfortunately but can definitely say that this one is rather delish. It’s a very young, fresh fragrance that I would probably buy for a […]

Introducing Optiphi

I got invited to try out an Optiphi facial the other day, a South African skin care range that was born from a bioengineering and biometrics background – don’t worry, I don’t either know what that really means but it certainly is someone who knows a hellava lot more about how our skin works that […]

Nivea Loving

Nivea holds quite a special place in my heart as I will never forgot the first beauty product I ever received was from my dear Granny, who gave me the Nivea Creme (as seen below) and told me to put it on my face every day if I wanted beautiful skin. I was all of […]

Bring on summer with Ultrasun

Living in South Africa, I have quickly become one of those sun-cream addicts. I apply it all the time, and I don’t care that my face resembles Casper mid-summer – I will be grateful when I am 50. However, a good sun-cream is hard to come by. I am so fussy with what I apply to my skin – it has […]
