Sun, 10 March 2013 12:53PM

Take a deep breath ‘cos I’m going all green on you today. While I could be referring to the colour of tea sitting next to me on my desk or the strings of beads around my neck, conveniently covering the fact that I managed to spill a glob of toothpaste down my grey t-shirt before… more

In the Spotlight: Nail Oils.

Tue, 2 October 2012 3:42PM

I took pause during my post-shower serum application this morning. Upon applying my rosehip oil to my face and décolletage, I took it down a notch – or ten – and rubbed the residue into each and every cuticle. I’ll be honest, although I get giddy when it comes to a new nail colour, daily nurturing… more

Mon, 1 October 2012 3:14PM

When that special life-changing time rolls around and you find yourself plus-one with a very special VIP on board, your approach to beauty will naturally also be doing a bit of a shape shift. Thicker hair, stronger nails, ‘that’ glow on the flip-side. Increased pigmentation, hormonal breakouts and skin sensitivity on the downside. Now, Mother Nature is one… more

A Rose is a Rose is … a Fabulous Anti-Ageing Treat

Wed, 5 September 2012 4:13PM

One of the most gorgeous pieces of beauty advice I’ve ever heard is this: Whenever you’re feeling a little dry or lined or, well, older than you would like, thank you very much, mix some rose oil into your usual moisturiser. Just a few drops will soup up your lotion, and turn it into a… more

Thu, 26 July 2012 1:12PM

I’ve got a real problem. I’m a bit of a sicko when it comes to oils. This winter I’ve reveled in donating my face and body to the science of oils, in the pursuit of uncovering the lushest, luxest and lust-worthy oil for you. Yes, you. So, in a show of appreciation, you would do me the honour… more

How to: Get ‘Glewy’ (that’s Glossy + Dewy) Skin

Fri, 20 July 2012 11:35AM

The other day, Emily wrote about her beauty HG: fluminous skin. As in, skin that’s both flawless and luminous, a feat that can be achieved by careful layering of products that feature clever play-with-the-light pigment trickery. It got me thinking. While I love the look of such a pretty, powdered, porcelain-like complexion, I prefer another skin-finish… more

Do you remember that scene in Confessions of a Shopaholic where Rebecca describes why she loves shopping? “You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that’s what it’s like when I see a store. Only it’s better.” Remember that? Well… more

It’s Not “Good-Bye”, Just “See You Very Soon” …

Mon, 23 April 2012 11:07AM

Over the past two months, since I started what I can only call my dream job, I’ve nattered on at you about my various obsessions and paranoias and theories (in between much beauty talk, of course). And, as blogging tends to go, things have gotten quite personal; my partner and friends and parents have begun… more

Can Organic Beauty Fight Skin Ageing?

Wed, 11 April 2012 12:09PM

I should know better. Whenever I feel I need a real kick in the facial wrinkle, I tend to reach for the ‘active’ or ‘high-potency’ options on counter. You know the ones: chemical-heavy tubes with names you can’t pronounce spruiked by a scientist promising a complexion as white and line-free as his coat? “Terminate, Terminate”, has… more
