Almost 2 weeks ago now, I was lucky enough to be invited to the MBBE Oscar Oscar Champagne Breakfast Event that was held in the Chadstone salon. It was indeed what the name stated, the event started from 8:30am on a Sunday morning and we were spoilt with beautifully catered food and greeted with champagne, kindly sponsored by Jacobs Creek. Big big thanks to all the staff, I had an amazing morning! Thanks for starting extra early for us, too.

The event started off with some helpful hair tips and a couple demonstrations of popular looks as seen on the models at fashion shows. They made it look so easy! Some tips I found useful were, spray along the hair direction, not against it & secure hair without the hair-tye showing for a more complete look, with the help of some hidden bobby pins! It's a little hard to explain - get a piece of hair between the pin and with that, loop the pony tail then secure in hair. Gosh, I can see some of you scratching your head.. please visit Jack Chan in Chadstone for more details lol! I'm horrible at explaining hair techniques, sorry!
Following the demo, each of us had the privilege to undergo an Oscar Oscar hair makeover! Here I am trying to absorb in all the info and tips I was given by my stylist, Gino.

I was super impressed by the Cloud Nine irons. No heat protecting product was usedl, but surprisingly my hair had a lot more shine and looked healthier after use. I've been a huge GHD fan but am now wishing it gave me that shine the Cloud Nine did!
We got to try the Aveda's Air Control, a long lasting flexible hold hairspray for all hair types. With a lot of other hairsprays, I spray my hair then have to run away from it because of the strong smell, but the air control had a pleasant smell to it and no running was required ;)
Here are shots of the finished look. I got my sister to take these photos at home, just before I had to tie it up and rush off to tennis. I was disappointed to think that my curls would go to waste, but the Air Control did an amazing job at holding them in place. I had pretty hair while playing sport - win!

Looked like a fun event, Shizuka! It's always nice to be pampered :D Speaking of tennis, I've started to enjoy it a lot more recently - helps to release my aggression :P
ReplyDeleteTrue~ pampering is a girls best friend? ;)
ReplyDeleteLol! You get to release your anger on some tennis balls :) You must've improved heaps since last time~ I only play once a week now but I'm starting to get a tan. A very ugly tan :(
I play only once a week too, but it's a very intensive 80 mins lesson. Ahhh Yeah that was the thing I refused, outdoor tennis so we have our lessons indoor!
ReplyDeleteいいね〜今週の日曜日雨と雷だからindoor tennisするの〜Wish there was an indoor one closer to me, then I don't have to worry about the sun haha or rain for that matter!
ReplyDeleteOops sorry for the late reply~ thank you, I think the Cloud Nine gave my hair more shine! Gino the hair stylist did it for me ;)
