Best Beauty Blogs

I’m honoured to be featured in the November issue of Fairlady Magazine, as one of SA’s Best Beauty Blogs, together with fellow beauty bloggers, Victoria Tatham from Kiss Blush and Tell and Emmy Schofield from Rouge Beauty. Every year, Fairlady magazine runs their Best of Beauty Awards, giving praise to the best beauty products on the market. This year was the first time they included Beauty Blogs as one of their categories. A big well done to Victoria who took home the first ever award in this category, while Emmy and myself were named finalists. I have had the pleasure of meeting both these fabulous ladies at beauty events and am really glad to share a page with them in Fairlady. The judges for this year’s Best of Beauty included the FAIRLADY beauty team (Candice-Lee Kannemeyer, Kelli Clifton, Catherine Zachariou), TV personality Jeannie D, Idols judge Randall Abrahams, as well as FAIRLADY editor Suzy Brokensha, Dermatologist Dr. Dagmar Whitaker, Makeup Artist Linda O’Connell and David Gillson, director of Carlton Hair. Be sure to get the latest copy of Fairlady Magazine to read what the three of us had to say about our blogs. You can also see all the product winners and finalists for the 2012…
