WIN: An awesome afternoon of hair pampering with Sunsilk expert, Tom Taw

Dry, damaged hair truly is the pits, Primps. I mean, I would totally know. My own hair is currently in Struggle Town because of too much heat-styling and general laziness when it comes to hair care. (I know, I know. Tsk tsk, Cherie.) But I’m sure I’m not alone in this rocky boat, Primps. In… more

Got stained nails and overgrown cuticles? You should try this.

Wed, 8 December 2010 8:00PM

Sometimes I think the beauty gods are looking over me, Primps, and today, I’m epically certain that they are. No, I’m not crazy; you just need to give me a moment to explain. Just a few minutes ago, I was peering down at my bare nails thinking they need a little love and attention. Despite the… more

The reason why your dry strands need to buddy up with a brush, STAT.

Wed, 8 December 2010 8:42AM

How often do you brush your hair, Primps? That may sound like a silly question, but I’m being totally serious. Me? I brush my hair in the morning whenever I blow-dry it straight, which is basically every second day. On my non-washing days, I prefer to leave it a little more textured and gritty so… more

Keep your pucker smooth

Wed, 6 October 2010 4:18PM

I constantly have chapped lips. I’ve tried all sorts of lip balms and glosses but they always end up flaking. Help! Ooh chapped lips make matte lipstick a challenge don’t they Lauren? Peeling, flaking lips are most common during winter when wind and cool temperatures can dry out your little pout. Unfortunately though, some suffer from… more

Make Me Over: The Powder Lowdown: Pure Evil or Pure Genius?

Fri, 23 July 2010 8:18AM

And the answer is, of course, Pure Genius. Or PG for short. (I like using nicknames. But only if you are actually good friends. And PG and I go way back. So much so that we even go to the pub every Friday night for a bevy or seven.) But powder can be Pure Evil… more

Get shiny, glossy, happy hair in winter

Fri, 2 July 2010 2:21PM

My hair always seems to turn so dull and lifeless in winter. Is there a way I can keep my hair glossy and shiny all year round? The harsh winter air is never kind to our locks Dayna, and without proper care, the glossy sheen that signifies happy healthy hair is the first to go. But… more

And the Blistex winners are…

Mon, 28 June 2010 11:26AM

I swear by Blistex, Primps. See that dark blue little pot in the pic below? The one on the end? I slather its contents on my lips EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I love it. It makes my lips all happy and soft and moisturised. And as a huge fan of Blistex lip balms, I feel like… more

WIN: Glorious Skin Month: Kicking dry, cracked lips to the curb

Thu, 24 June 2010 4:58PM

My lips have been cracking up a lot lately, Primps. Not in a funny ha-ha kind of way, but in an ouchy cracking and flaking kind of way. And let me tell you, it’s no laughing matter. Taking a trip to Cracked Lips City is not what I call a pleasant holiday, especially when all… more

Step off a plane and actually look good

Tue, 22 June 2010 3:40PM

I love escaping the Melbourne winter every year but flying always leaves me looking so tired and dull. Any tips PRIMPED? Oh there’s nothing better then jetting off to avoid the cold, but you’re right Jennie, flying can take its toll on your complexion. Make sure you arrive at your destination bright eyed and ready for… more
