How I do my eyes!

Estée Lauder South Africa spoiled me & told me everything every woman young and old should know about skincare!

Estée Lauder called me up and asked me to meet for a counter experience at the V&A branch in Edgars. I was so nervous, not knowing what to expect. 

But it was such a delightful experience and I learnt SO much from it about skin care, all the things i've wanted to know.

This is what I chose to wear, striped maxi dress from Mr. Price and white blouse from Pic 'n Pay clothing.

Sue, Estée Lauder's senior skincare professional at the V&A helped me by pointing out all the Estée Lauder products that I should use for my skin type. Sue was amazing, kind and knew exactly what could help me. Plus my mom's name is Sue, so I felt right at home. My skin type is very sensitive, im fair and my skin gets dry very easily, so I should focus on using skin care products that are not too "active" according to Sue. If I use a harsh face wash I end up with tight skin and this can lead to me having blotches of dry skin and flakiness (gross I know). So you can imagine everything Sue told me was like gold to my ears.  Im also prone to having dark circles under my eyes and redness (which stands out like no one's business becuase im so fair.) 

I will share the tips and products I learned in the next post, if you struggle with similar skincare issues, im sure it will be greatly helpful! I will also talk about Estée Lauder's Idealist - "Even skintone illuminator which fights discolourations, sun spots, dark spots, blotchiness, redness and traces of acne." Im sure EVERY girl has that bad skin day and tries many witch doctor forms of curing that giant red spot that wont get ANY lighter. I will be tested and chatting about this product which I can say im very excited about!

They also treated me with flowers, amazing,THANK YOU!!

When I got home I asked dean to snap a few pics of me with the info pages and personal skincare analysis form that Sue gave me. As you can see the photoshoot got a little bit crazy! haha

 ...now that I got that little squeek of excitment out! 

Just for those of you who arent directed here via the Estee Lauder South Africa facebook page, I am one of the top 10 finalists in the running to be the Beauty Glamour girl. eeek! how exciting! I originally heard about this through capetowngirl who always seems to be ontop of whats going on, I love her blog! I cant wait to dive into this head on, im so excited!

Whats it about you ask? - From the official statement:

“The Beauty Glamour Girl will receive Estée Lauder products to review and share her reviews with the ladies on the Estée Lauder South Africa Facebook page. She will be the first to try new Estée Lauder products, attend launches and report on all things beauty. This opportunity is open to all ladies who wish to pursue their love for writing and sharing their opinions with others.” 

 Here are my answers that got me this far:
What makes a woman beautiful?

I think that a beautiful woman is someone who is confident, someone who embraces their individuality and doesn't let the world tell them how to act, dress or live. Loving yourself is the key to beauty and with this self-love the love for others will come naturally, giving you a glow of positive radiant energy. What could be more beautiful than that? Beauty is putting your best foot forward, leaping into things and always making that first impression the best one. Respect your body and tell the world about what's inside by reflecting it on the way you treat your outside.


What does the Estée Lauder brand mean to you?

I love Estee Lauder, to me it represents glamour and sophistication. I love looking my best whenever I step out of the door and with Estee Lauder I feel 100% ready. What I love about it most is that all the make up is made so well that it lets my skin breathe and really feels luxurious. I love the brand which spans over so many options; skincare, make up and fragrance. 3 things KEY to a woman's survival. Lastly, the head office of Estee Lauder is in New York City - A glamour girls #1 stop destination! AH! dream!


Why do you want to become the Estée Lauder Beauty Glamour Girl?

I think that I would be amazing as the Estee Lauder Beauty Glamour Girl as I am a very outgoing person and I LOVE beauty and all things to do with my appearance. I love to talk, tweet, instagram and blog like a mad woman. I am a graphic designer and an aspiring web developer, the internet is my playground and I love to be involved in everything and create a buzz. I would update, upload and edit my life with Estee Lauder for the world to see & enjoy. I love to be involved in social events and I think that Estee Lauder would benefit from having someone like me on their team; I can make conversation with a rock and still look glamorous doing it! I think I would be great at this and I would LOVE to be considered for the opportunity!
