Every bride wants to look like the best version of herself on her wedding day, as well as have all the correct tools to take along on her honeymoon. Thanks to Bobbi Brown, this dream can come true.

Beauty comes in many forms, and it goes beyond a product, a routine, or a face. It can be found anywhere, but its expression is yours to create. No masks, just make-up, no rules. Just you. Beauty begins with you.

When the brand was founded nearly 30 years ago, this was our vision – and we champion it today. We make make-up that enhances, not hides, your true beauty.

One lucky winner will win a Bobbi Brown hamper to the value of R3 775 consisting of the following amazing products:

1x Eye Shadow Palette valued at R1250

Give your look a glamorous edge with this eye shadow palette that lets you shade, line and define with fashion-forward hues and high-impact finishes. Palette includes matte, shimmer wash, chrome metal and metallic shadows that can be applied dry or wet for maximum colour payoff.

1x Vitamin Enriched Face Base valued at R895

A Bobbi Brown bestseller – a primer plus moisturisation for smooth make-up application (it’s the best of both worlds). Rich in feel, but never greasy, this advanced oil-free face formula, with Shea Butter, instantly hydrates, softens and cushions skin.

1x Crushed Liquid Lip valued at R395

The look of a liquid lipstick meets the comfortable feel of a balm and the plumped-up sheen of a gloss. Created with a superfruit blend featuring cranberry, blueberry and raspberry extracts, this emollient-rich, full-coverage formula glides on with pure colour pigments and offers nourishing comfort and moisture – both instantly and over time. Paraben-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free, talc-free, mineral oil-free, gluten-free & vegan.

1x Primer Plus Hydrating 3-in-1 Setting Spray valued at R450

A sheer, nutrient-rich mist that preps skin for foundation, finishes make-up and instantly refreshes the complexion for a healthy-looking glow.

1x Highlighting Powder valued at R785

Our cult-favourite Highlighting Powder is back. This high-impact, light-reflective powder gives skin shimmering bronze highlights and is ideal for strobing. Plus, it’s housed in a sleek, mirrored compact, so you can take your glow to go.

Bush breaks are no longer just reserved for weekends with Sibani Lodge’s brand new and diverse portfolio offering.

Situated on the world heritage site of Mt Savannah, near the Cradle of Humankind, Sibani offers local and international guests real value.

The luxury extends to wellness treatments, where you’re able to choose a treatment under the trees, near the watering hole or indoors. This newest addition to Sibani’s activity line-up aims to appeal to both overnight and day guests, where spa-rties, bachelorettes and special event requests are welcomed.

The plentiful game on site includes a variety of antelope and other non-‘Big 5’ predatory animals, which allows for walking trails on site and the opportunity to roam the expansive property at your own free will.

A ‘boma’ area caters for all guests as the central watering hole, offering the chance to come together and share a feast as well as tales of the daily sightings, around the campfire and under a ceiling of stars.

Be warned – this is luxury camping where hot water and down duvets come complete with the outdoor dream but if that’s not for you, Sibani also offers basic camping sites on a nightly rate for all those wanting to enjoy a fully-immersive camp set up on their own terms.

Looking for a premium quality bottle of bubbles to celebrate with on your wedding day?  Look no further than the Lourensford Brut 2014 Méthode Cap Classique from the iconic and beautiful Lourensford Estate in Somerset West.

Something to sip on as you get ready, a private Cheers with your loved one after you say “I do” and a delicious glass (or four) for your guests at the reception, the Brut 2014 MCC is one of Lourensford’s most sought-after wines.

Cellarmaster Hannes Nel refers to the MCC as mysterious, unassuming and surrounded with finesse. “The natural beauty and fine integrated bubbles enhance the iodine-like minerality that reminds you of fresh seaweed and freshly crushed oyster shells, complimented with a rich creamy allure and elegance. Expect rich, complex flavours of lemon cream and Pink Lady apples on the nose with hints of citrus, pineapple and kiwi fruit on the palate.”

If you’re looking for a tasty food paring, the Brut 2014 MCC is sophisticated but likes simplistic, raw, fresh produce. Hannes suggests a beef and East Coast oyster tartare with soy mayonnaise and quail egg. It also pairs well with goat’s milk and feta cheese, tempura oysters, deep fried fish, game carpaccio, avocado and fresh bread.

Lourensford has exciting other wines to compliment your big day and celebrations. Take your pick from the flagship Chrysalis, Limited Release, The Dome or River Garden ranges.

For more information or to order wine visit www.lourensford.co.za. You can also follow Lourensford’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

Just outside the red flower-lined streets of picturesque Roberston is a place that’s truly seen a renaissance that captures its rich past. Jan Harmsgat Guest House is a grand old dame, cleverly veiling some of her best keep secrets, just a little off SA’s famed Route 62.

The farm history dates back to 1723 and as if that’s not impressive enough, if pomegranates are the fruit of the gods – this must certainly be an earthly offering of heaven.

Exporting more than 850 tonnes a year, a safari-style farm drive around the 625 hectares of seemingly ever-stretching views proudly boasts some of SA’s most fertile lands. When Jan Harmsgat is not perfecting its wine offering, they’re harvesting and exporting pomegranate, making pomegranate honey for a demand they can’t keep up with, and are dealing out litres of the 100-percent natural pomegranate juice, that the health world is lapping up for its incredible anti-oxidant properties.

At its core, this is a working farm but beyond the bountiful harvests and warm welcomes, there’s a sense of tranquiltiy here that greets you upon arrival and holds you at a sub-average pulse rate until your departure date. (This despite there being really great wifi on site).

It could be something to do with the slower pace of life that’s encouraged here, the fact that locals love it and are catered for in clever additions to the event calendar line up like ‘local night’- where your ribs come complete with complimentary bib and local musician for background entertainment.

Pecan nut trees line the picturesque gardens and encourage the sense of tranquility that Jan Harmsgat has become well known for.

Dining al-fresco at this luxurious old country lodge also means your first-world problems extend only to the choice between tree canopy cover or vineyard view.

Old-world luxury and an unsurpassed opportunity to indulge in an authentic country ambience and history are all part of the package at Jan Harmsgat and this summer, there’s not much that’s not on offer.

Less than a two-hour drive from Cape Town, be prepared to be transported back to another era where open space, country charm and your comfort reign supreme.

1 Night stay for 2 people at Jan Harmsgat, Breakfast, 3-course dinner, Backlands Farm Drive worth R3400

A classic complement to any celebration, like Champagne, Grace du Roi MCC spends at least nine months developing flavour in the bottle according to French methods, resulting in a delicious, sophisticated bubbly perfectly suited to raising an elegant toast to the bride.

Made from Chardonnay grapes, the low yields from the dry winelands surrounding Paarl are hugely flavoursome. The grapes are harvested while still firm on the branch and fermented with only the slightest contact with French oak to create a beautifully-structured wine.

Best enjoyed chilled, the subtle flavours of Grace du Roi complement salty canapes like prosciutto, stuffed mushrooms and focaccia. The MCC goes particularly well with cheese platters and salty bruschetta.

Showing the versatility of bubbly, both the Sparkling Wine and the MCC also enhance heavier dishes, such as mussels in a creamy sauce, while also pairing beautifully with more subtly-flavoured seafood, like sushi and chicken dishes.

 

Prize Details:
Win 6 bottles of Grace du Roi MCC and R1 500 cash towards your wedding dress
