In our last Style Off post we promised it would not be the last word from us for the year… and although this is going out a touch later than we would have liked, we are absolutely delighted to announce that our “adieu” to 2015 includes a giveaway for our special Spruce readers!

You may remember in our Coricraft post that we mentioned the Kramerville store now stocks a range of bed linen, pillows, duvets, towels and curtains from local manufacturer Volpes. At the time, we both agreed that this step was absolutely brilliant; Coricraft Kramerville is quickly becoming the “one stop shop” for all home related purchases.

Volpes has recently expanded their product offering to include an online shopping catalogue, which features items from their newest range of linen “Under the Sun” (think fresh summery florals, crisp white, duck egg blue and Moroccan-inspired warm hues) through to towels and curtains. The range available online is really extensive – and affordable!

To celebrate the launch of their online summer catalogue, Volpes has given us one R1000 voucher to giveaway to a Spruce reader! All you need to do to enter the competition is make sure you are subscribed to Spruce and comment on this post telling us what you would pick from the Volpes collection!

We will announce the winner of this fabulous voucher on Christmas Eve (a nice little prezzie ) via our Social Media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) so make sure you have entered and are following us to find if you have won!

While Sam still finds herself working (after a short but magnificent break to Mozambique), Ilaria has already joined the lucky souls on holiday soaking up the South African sun! Spruce will also be taking a few days’ off and will return in the New Year.

From both of us – we wish you and yours the most wonderful festive season; may it be filled with love and gratitude!

During the past year, Sam has slowly been converting Ilaria into a cosmetics demon, one eye mask at a time… and while Ilaria never really needs that much extra convincing, Sam did drag Ilaria into at least five different Sephora stores during our trip to Paris and Madrid earlier this year. We might have also missed our walking tour of Madrid due to a Sephora stock-up (oops!) but once you have come across these stores you might understand why we are so enamored!

Sephora stocks the largest range of beauty products that you can possibly imagine: skincare, make-up, fragrances, haircare and everything in between – from high-end make-up like NARS through to their own affordable private label. Sephora’s consultants are always on hand (in that non-irritating kind-of-way) to help in selecting the perfect fragrance or shade and you can get your make-up touched up in store! And while the beauty ranges available at home continue to grow, there are some things the Europeans just do better and that is Sephora.

In other words – We absolutely bloody love this store and since we are both off on a European Summer holiday this month, we have decided to spoil one of our beloved readers with a giveaway from one of our favourite places

Each item in the prized package has been tested buy at least one of us, if not both, meaning you are really getting a hand-picked gift of love from the Spruce Girls! This is what is included:

1. The original Beauty Blender – this tiny little sponge has taken the make-up world by storm since its launch thanks to its ability to get into every surface of the face. This is the ultimate companion to any makeup drawer!

2. Sephora Collection Velvet eye-shadow – as featured in June Favourite Five; simply the best waterproof, smudge-proof eye-shadow we have yet to try and the perfect base for creating simple daytime looks through to smoky evening eyes.

3. Sephora Collection Eye Mask – a hot favourite here at Spruce HQ! These small under-eye patches are a miracle in treating the tired, sensitive skin under the eyes. Trust us – we schlepped more than a handful back for good reason!

4. Sephora Collection Colour Reveal Lip Balm – a unique lip balm which adjusts to one’s unique pH levels creating the perfect, pink shade for any skin tone!

All you need to do to enter this fab giveaway is: –

– subscribe to the blog (if you have not done so already)

– like us on Facebook

– share this giveaway on Facebook.

The winner will be picked at random and announced on the blog on Friday 28 August.

*please note while we endeavor to provide exactly what we have promised, variations may occur and we reserve the right to substitute any of the above.
