So, Women’s Day is coming up next month and man, have we got some mega-exciting news to share with you! Remember the magical makeovers ECR Life editor, Anisa Ussuph mentioned a few weeks back? Well, this is it and YOU could be just a mouse click away from an awesome revamp!
Let’s face it, we all need some extra TLC every now and then. And sometimes, because of the rat races we’re constantly running, we just don’t seem to have the time or there’re always other things – family, work, friends, commitments – that take priority.
This Women’s Day though, ECR Life is going to change that. One lucky ECR Life reader/ECR listener will win a magnificent makeover, with the compliments of ECR Life’s main contributors.
Here’s what’s on offer
Fitness expert Lisa Raleigh (VO2Max)
Our lucky winner will get to work with one of SA’s top fitness experts and TV personality, Lisa Raleigh. Lisa is offering an assessment, a body brush exfoliation and body wrap and a free week with a personal trainer.
Makeup artist Aldytha da Silva (Make Up Your Mind)
Our winner will spend a two hour intensive session with one of Durban’s top makeup artists, Aldytha da Silva, and her team. They’ll focus on classic look that best suits the winner’s features. She’ll also be given personalized notes she can take home with her.
Stylist and fashion expert Lynne McMaster (DressbyLynne)
Our winner will hit the stores with one of Durban’s most sought-after stylists and image consultants, Lynne McMaster. Lynne will go from store to store with our winner, teaching her what styles of clothes best suit her body, what colours she should stick with and how to reflect her lifestyle and personality in the garments she wears.
The Hub
After finding out what styles best flatter her body, our winner will walk away with two sets of clothes including shoes, bag, accessories etc with compliments of The Hub.
Skin expert Shana Sandri (M.E.G)

This is sooooo exciting, A COMPLETE MAKEOVER!!!
I wish i could enter but the only thing that does not permit me to is the time frame:-(
.
Nevertheless, good luck to all the participants
Good Luck to all the participants!
I wish I could enter cos I have a terrible eczema that left a horrible scar on my leg that does not allow me to wear anything short or show off my legs, especially in summer here in Durban.Can;t afford a skin specialist. So good luck to all those who enter.
Does it matter what your age is? I am past middle age but have entered anyway although it always seems to be the young twenty somethings who win these things!
Hi Carol
No it doesn’t matter how old you are.
Anisa
Wow Anisa – what awesome prizes you have put together!! And how generous of the sponsors!!!
Fantastic!!! Im rooting for you, Carol!
Good luck Guys!!!
Hi Anisa. I am in my 50′s. Am I too old to enter. I have had such bad luck this last year and a half and would like a shot at trying for a bit of good luck.
Hi Melinda
There is no age restriction for contestants. Of course you can enter.
Anisa, when will you be announcing the winner? Holding thumbs it’s me!
I have entered. Hope i win. I really need it. Want and exciting life ahead and i know this will help. Thank ECR.
P.S Good luck to everyone. and Congradulations to the winner.
I have also entered and wish I could win. I am so run down – with my 3 kids, my job, not to mention the no. of things I hate about myself. I also cannot afford to spoil myself & sort out the things I hate about myself. It would be a dream come true if happened to me. The only reason I would like to win is to feel & look like a lady again. Good luck to all who entered – to the one who wins – hope you utterly enjoy!
I entered simply because i so need help, i often feel frumpy as i am quite overweight now, age 42, size almost 42 and all that lol. I have been watching make over competitions since i was about 16 (not that long ago) and its just so exciting to see the difference, what a great experience having someone show you what you could look like and how to dress and wear your hair and if i could disguise or even get rid of that wretched waistline oh heaven anyway i would so love to win but would be happy that someone else could experience the magic of a makeover, holding thumbs!
