Win Spray Tan Products from Bisousoleil

November is definitely the beginning of summer in the Cape. It is time to get those bods summer ready and bronzed up for the beach! Spray Tan is generally the safest option but it can be a rather scary thought. You certainly do not want to end up looking like the Oros man! 😉

I am fairly lucky because I have an olive complexion but many of my friends use tanning products or have salon tanning treatments and are always on the lookout for new and better products. I recently came across Bisousoleil, an amazing local brand of sun tan products. Bisousoleil has a unique approach to sun tan and bronzing cosmetics, they have created a tan that makes you feel thinner, sexier and healthier by avoiding exposure to the sun’s UV rays, which age the skin much faster.

The Bisousoleil pack includes a step by step method to a 24/7 tan that is natural with no extremes, utilising a gradual build up that takes longer with better results. The brand offers preparation and maintenance products along with toning and anti-cellulite ingredients that will smooth, firm and moisturise your skin.

Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Well you will be super excited to know that we are giving away some of these lovely products! One lucky reader will be well on their way to a tanned and beach ready bod in no time but wait just because I love my readers so much we are giving away a second Summer Hamper!

We are giving away one Bisousoleil Spray Tan Kit plus Tan Remover and one Summer Hamper containing a Bisousoleil Eye Gel, Facial Spritzer and Sunscreen. The total value of the prizes on offer is over R1300.00. All you need to do to enter is show some Facebook love and Tweet about the giveaway! Enter via the simple Rafflecopter form below and all these amazing goodies could be yours!

Cotton On Super Store Canal Walk

Last week I was invited to attend the opening of Cotton On, Super Store, in canal Walk, Cape Town. As you could probably guess I would never turn down an opportunity to shop and I was rather curious as to what this new store has to offer the Capetonian consumer!

The Australian brand is well-known for effortless style at affordable prices. I must confess I did find the prices quite reasonable, I would have to say probably less than half what you would pay for a similar item at the likes of high-street store like Zara. The store is huge and the staff were helpful and friendly.

The Cotton On Super Store is the second of its kind in SA and it houses all their popular brands: Mens, Ladies, Cotton On Body and Cotton On Kids. Plus a small section of Typo goodies. The opening of the Super Store is perfectly timed, with Christmas on our door step and summer officially here!

Their ladies wear ranges from casual everyday T-shirts, shorts and dresses to something a bit smarter for work or an evening out. I definitely prefer their more casual range, I loved their summery boob-tube dresses and their casual jackets. I really liked the prints on their T’s but I found the fit really odd – a bit too big across the chest area!

Their mens T-shirts are great and really reasonably priced. They are made from beautifully soft cotton, with trendy prints and awesome colours for summer. I bought MR two and he absolutely loves them 🙂

The swim wear range was rather popular with all the shoppers there, I must admit I am not ready to start the swim wear search but when I am I will definitely head back to Cotton On to have a look. I also loved their Body range, which features really pretty underwear and gorgeous sleep wear.

Cotton On Kids is very cute and they have super trendy goodies for the little-ones, the only negative is that the kids range only caters up to the age of 7 so if you have older sprouts you are out of luck!

I would definitely recommend a visit to the Cotton On Super Store but I would advise you make it soon before the seasons mayhem really starts. Thanks to Cotton On for the preview and our goodie bag 🙂

PS. I will share my purchase from Cotton On in a separate post!

Cotton On Super Store Canal Walk is located on the Lower Level Shop 85LL, Contact Tel:(021) 552 0726, Opening Times are 9am to 9pm.

Blogger Secret Santa My Wishlist

This year I am taking part in Blogger Secret Santa, which is happening over at The Stiletto Mum. As you may have guessed by the title it’s a secret, so you do not know who will be buying for you or what you will be getting! I promise I have been good, so no coal please!

Each person has to come up with a wish list of goodies, to help their santa shop, the gift has to be under the value of R100 (pre postage) yikes that could be tricky but here goes with my wish list:

Anything pretty from Typo, they have amazing stationery, ribbons and home décor items – my favourites colours include red, pink & blue (black & white is also an option). I also quite like their Owl figurines.

I love scented candles but preferably vanilla or lemon grass – no rose or lavender. Candles like these below in pretty containers or jars and votive glass candles, are also a winner.

Any decor items from Isabelina, which is one of my favourite gift stores and they have some rather reasonable items!

As I mentioned earlier any pretty or unusual stationery items such as gift tags, ribbon, washi tape, transfers or wall art. I love hearts or images of nature i.e. Proteas

Vanilla body products, preferably body butter or bubble bath. I do love the Woolies Vanilla & Brown Sugar range.

If you are in Cape Town – any bath products from Lush, again as long as it’s not floral!

Last but not least I do not have a sweet tooth so no chocolates please – champagne on the other hand is quite acceptable!

Well my secret santa I hope that this helps! Happy shopping and here’s to a very happy Secret Santa experience!
