When law meets lip tint, magic happens. For Johannesburg-based lawyer and beauty entrepreneur Nabila Maharaj, confidence is more than a courtroom skill; it’s her signature look. As founder of Gurl Kandy, she’s redefining accessible beauty with a mission rooted in “Konfidence” and empowerment.

Visualize glossy hair and sun-kissed ease. These are the ultimate travel companions for a season of soft glam and sunshine escapes.
“Spring is my favourite time of year,” she says. “I love soaking in the coastlines of KwaZulu-Natal, Zanzibar, and Mombasa. For me, beauty is about feeling confident enough to focus on the journey and not the touch-ups.”
