Big Hair, Do Care: The Best Volumizing Products for Flat, Lifeless Hair

October 12, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

If, like me, you were born with PS & PL (Poker Straight & Pretty Lifeless) Hair, I am safely assuming that obtaining the right amount of volume is or has been a pretty up-there #hairgoal and probably a weekly, if not daily, battle. Girls with naturally bouncy, frizzy, wavy or coarse hair will never understand, bless their cotton socks. Why? Because any waves, curls, frizzy bits or bends can be magically GHD’d away in about half an hour (unless of […]

Why You Need To Beautify Your Brows

October 5, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

YOUR BROW NEEDS TO WOW I often get asked, “what are the key things a woman can do to instantly improve her appearance?” or “what are the best-kept beauty secrets?” As the creator & presenter of MOOIMAAK, a cutting-edge new television series which takes thirteen women on the makeover journey of a lifetime, I am – of course – expected to have at least some of the answers. No pressure then. One of the things I always mention is the importance […]

The Fine Line Between Self-Acceptance & Self-Improvement

April 27, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

Last week, the call for entry was launched for my new television series, MOOIMAAK, set to air on kykNET from 5 October 2017. Since then, I am happy to report, we have been snowed under by entries and social media responses, some of which have included the following wonderfully candid comments:  “I need something positive like this in my life’; “It’s as if my prayers have been answered, I need a smile makeover. I am unable to afford a dentist and, as a […]

The Skin Care Products I’m Loving Right Now

March 9, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

As you might have seen, I’ve done some once-off blog posts on what I believe are some of the best (if not THE best) beauty products in the world. Find them under the BEST IN BEAUTY category right here on The Global Critic. Today, I want to share a whole list of some of the essential skin care products I’m currently using daily and can’t live without: some newly discovered life-changers have been thrown in amongst the oldies-but-goodies (those iconic […]

Makeup Maestro Reneé De Wit Reveals Her Best-Kept Beauty Secrets

February 9, 2017 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

Meet Reneé De Wit, makeup artist extraordinaire. I first came into contact with this insanely talented creature when she painted my face for my 21st birthday party. Since then, I have come to rely on Reneé for many more of those momentous occasions when faces had to be painted, perfectly. It’s no wonder then that she holds a very special place in my Little Black Book but also in my heart. Believe me, I wouldn’t have let just anyone do my makeup on […]

World’s Best Décolletage Cream

September 9, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

During my mid-20s, I started noticing (with a fair amount of disdain, I might add) some fine creases developing on the surface of my décolletage. Since those pesky little lines were most prominent in the mornings and took a while to ‘fade’, I couldn’t help but think that my preferred foetal sleeping position (pretty much curled up in a ball) was to blame. (If I am being completely honest with myself, though, I’m sure my years of sun-tanning and of […]

Why I Adore Chanel’s Iconic Foundations

September 4, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

For dry or mature skin, there is – quite simply – no other foundation quite like the iconic Chanel Vitalumiere: it’s light-weight and looks completely natural, yet provides just enough moisture and coverage to give you an instantly radiant complexion. It’s got the whole ‘dewy skin’ thing down pat and revives tired skin in a second. (If your skin tends to be oily or prone to breaking out, this product will be too rich for you.) For combination to oily skin, you’ll […]

World’s Best Affordable Eye-Makeup Remover

August 29, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

This is just a quick post to share a recently discovered little gem with you all, especially those girls who (like me) enjoy a smokey eye and struggle to get through the day without a good dose of mascara. I recently ran out of my usual eye make-up remover and, since it’s not yet available in South Africa, a trip to my local pharmacy was urgently called for. (My eyes weren’t loving me last week when I tried hopelessly, night after […]

World’s Best Hairdryer

August 26, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

If you haven’t yet discovered the hairdryer brand, Parlux, prepare to get blown away (silly pun intended). I was introduced to this super powerful and incredibly efficient hairdryer by my hairdresser a few years ago and I’ve never looked back. What’s more, I subsequently started noticing that each and every hair salon I’ve visited (whether in London, New York or Cape Town) uses Parlux, and only Parlux, hairdryers. No wonder it’s seen as the No 1 choice of hair care […]

World’s Best Self-Tanner

August 22, 2013 by Clare Wiese-Wentzel

Despite the known dangers of sun exposure, I refused for many years to use self-tanning products: they were messy, stinky and almost always looked obvious. This includes the big brand-name products whom I won’t name and shame here. At one stage, I would only associate myself with self-tan if I had it done at a professional salon, applied by a professional beautician, for a (VERY) special event. Even then, sprinting out of the salon (post-spray), hoping nobody will catch you […]
