We don’t normally do this, but we’d like to give a special shout-out to Vince from North Carolina in the US of A, who is a General in the Corps Marines (in which he’s been serving for 12 years now). We hear Vince recently came to South Africa for a holiday, and that he loves it. A little birdie told us that he quite likes reading CTG, too.Well, we’re sending the love right back at you, Vince! Please give little Sophia Grace a big hug and a kiss for us, okay? She is just too beautiful. When she’s a bit older, we’ll take her out and show her how to be a CapeTownGirl ;) Thanks for reading CTG, we appreciate your support.
We had a great summer. Apart from The Great Separation when PD was in Dubai and LA was in Japan, we spent a lot of time on the beach. We got a lot of sun, and we swam. We discoveredPiz Buin Active Spray, which is non-sticky and doesn’t come off when you sweat (discovered that while running with it on – if you’re into outdoor exercise you’ll know how important this is, and how suntan lotion in the eyes can make you cry like a baby – not attractive). We read some great books – Born To Run and Up In The Air – dedicated reviews to come. But for now let’s just do a bit of a beach round up.
Glen aka the 'Surfer's Beach'
Glen again. Or Llandudno? It becomes a beachy blur...
LA & SB hit up the Table Bay hotel for a super glam VIP breakfast to celebrate the opening of the new Estee Lauder, Clinique, La Mer and Bobbi Brown beauty counters at Edgars V&A Waterfront last week. The food was delicious and it was a great networking event – everyone in beauty and beauty blogging was there.
The girls got their makeup done, they got to sample gorgeously indulgent La Mer products and enjoy the brand new beauty counters, all before anyone else.
And they walked away with some fabulous goodie bags filled with Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Estee Lauder and La Mer products.It was extremely naughty of Estee Lauder to spoil the ladies like this! :) But nobody’s complaining.
Get down to the new counters at Waterfront Edgars – they really are stunning! The lighting is so close to daylight you’ll get a good idea of how your makeup will actually look on your skin. They are also very spacious and well-organised. They get a manicured thumbs up from LA & SB.
