Captured by Matt Jones for i-D Magazine (April 2016), Zoë Kravitz is my latest obsession. This is an obsession I am struggling to accept, as I am usually the last person to obsess over a celebrity. However, I don’t follow her life and I can’t...

Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Sheen Sealing Nectar Review
Similar to my experience, I’m sure many were left baffled by Dark and Lovely’s “sheen sealing nectar”. What is it? What does it do? According to Dark and Lovely it is a “recipe for all day shiny, elongated curls and coils”. In Laymen’s terms, it’s...

The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Conditioner Review
What does a rainforest smell like? If it is anything like this conditioner by The Body Shop, I have no intentions of ever visiting one! This is a review of a product that is absolutely magnificent but smells vile! The scent is wet grass meets...
Unapologetically Golden
I adore Pat McGrath and her beauty debut, Gold 001 has rekindled an old relationship – all things golden and I. From jewellery to make-up, I was once obsessed with anything gold but with age, I fell out of love, finding solace in silver. I...
Creme of Nature Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner Review
I strongly believe the best of what this world has to offer can be found in plain sight, in our environment, in nature. I love castor oil. I also adore shea butter, sweet almond oil and monoi oil. I rarely venture beyond my preferences but...
Vatika Naturals Egg Protein Deep Conditioning Hair Mask Review
Although I remain committed to Organics by Africa’s Best Hair Mayonnaise (my go to protein treatment as well as a staple investment), I am always on the look out for something better or just as good. Looking to explore the current market of deep conditioners,...
Shea Moisture Mango & Carrot Kids Extra-Nourishing Conditioner Review
Call the press! There appears to be a Shea Moisture product I can rave about as well as recommend. If my review were based on using the product once, this would be the gist of my post. However, my review is based on long-term use...
Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner Review
Incredibly moisturising yet light, Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner is phenomenal. Although it is quite expensive (£7.49 for 250ml, from Amazon, the lowest price I could find), I can’t emphasise how much a little goes a long way. Giovanni's leave-in conditioner has a scent but it...
Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Review
Harsh protein treatments stripped my hair, reducing my curls and coils to frizz. Left with a brittle and dry mess, I went on the hunt for a solution, spending a ridiculous amount of money on any anti-frizz product I could find. With each product, the...
Shea Moisture SuperFruit Complex 10-In-1 Renewal System Hair Masque Review
I doubt I will ever love Shea Moisture but I must admit, I'm beginning to like the brand. Reflecting the expression, “third time lucky”, I have now tried three Shea Moisture products (all of different lines) and the third purchase is the first to impress....
Jourdan Dunn covers Vogue Brasil (February 2016)
Once obsessed with magazines, last year I made the conscious decision to boycott publications that failed to acknowledge diversity, women like myself. My boycott went beyond the purchasing or reading of a magazine, I also stopped following social media feeds. What triggered my decision was...
