Mantsho x HM South Africa Launch Event

By

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcnfWQLlNDA&t=451s The MANTSHOxHM collaboration has been of particular interest to me since the very minute it was announced to be in the works. I couldn’t quite place my finger on exactly how the collaboration would translate to global markets, yet still remain true to the core values of the Mantsho brand, African prints and textures. However, Ihat I did know was that Africa was ready! On a fine Wednesday night, I missioned to Victoria Yards, which mind you, I’d never been to before. It seemed like quite a random location for such an occasion.  However, because I know just how well researched and strategic the H&M team is when it comes to creating a full on brand experience,  I knew it would be a night to remember! Once people had settled into the venue and had the opportunity to view the highly aticipated MantshoxHM pieces , we got an electric celebratory…

Lancôme New Advanced Génifique serum

By

Hey lovers! Just yesterday, I had the exciting opportunity to be part of the exclusive reveal of the Advanced Génifique serum. The informative press event held at the L’Oréal South Africa Head Offices was led by Namate Moyo [ Marketing Manager for Lancôme ] , Ashley Fernandes [ National Education, Retail & Services Manager, L’Oreal Luxe ] and Dr Heidi [ Advanced Research Manager Sub-Saharan Africa at L’Oréal ] I must say, the best thing about this session was having Dr Heidi in the room. Dr Heidi’s portfolio covers South Sub Saharan Africa, which includes raw portfolio ingredient and technology support towards skin and hair. She is also in charge of the incubator and the open innovation L’Oréal does within her region. She did a great job at helping us understand all the scientific terms and how the skin works beyond what meets the eye. Now back to the product.…

Mask And Slumber Party

By

If there’s one thing you should know about me, It’s that I’m a sucker for some fun girl time. So, when Nomzamo sent me an exclusive invite to her Mask And Slumber Party she would be hosting in partnership with Neutrogena, I was so thrilled! For those of you who may not know, among the many other roles Nomzamo Mbatha has, she is an actress, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, PUMA Ambassador, Audi Ambassador, and the face of Neutrogena. Her light shines so so bright, and covers not only herself, but also those who in any way come in contact with her. The ever so graceful beaut shared some profound words at the dinner table about the beauty industry. It’s important for me to just push a different narrative. I think the beauty industry right now is just inundated with things that are supposed to be aesthetically perfect. Whether we try to…
