"The glamorous...glamorous"




Yasmin has won many fab competitions this year and then to top it off wins a GHD makeover for her and four friends!!!! AND....I was invited. I rushed out of work yesterday to change and dash to the studio in Woodstock with Yasmin. I wore a yellow dress given to me by Tatum and Yas looked oh so funky and flirty as usual. On arrival we were offered vitamin water complimentary as well as a choice of bubbly. When we stepped into the studio it looked amazing. A make up station on the left with make up from "Benefits" stocked by Woolies. I love the range. (www.benefits.com) What a fun girly range. We took a seat on a white couch with canapes in-front of us.(Namely mini bagels with salmon,assorted Lindt choc balls and other little yummy canapes) I was taken to make-up first and the rest of the ladies went to have their hair done. The lady doing my make up was very enthusiastic and wanted to make sure I am enjoying the experience. I was most impressed as they are contracted for two afternoons to do face after face and I guess they do at some point stop engaging with their "model" if I can call it that in this case. LOL When my make up was done I went over to the hair station and the rest had their make up done. Their hair looked glamorous. I initially was tempted to have curls put in to make me a "Curly Sue" but then I was nervous that my face would look rounder so opted for my hair to be flicked out. To my surprise they gave me a GHD goodie bag with two full size products and how can I forget to mention that while doing my hair I couldn't help but notice the range of GHD's around me at the hair stations! All sorts of colours. I still love my fuchsia colored one though.
Once the ladies make up were done we went to check out the stylists table of fun accessories and the fun began. We were allowed a limitless amount of pics and we were given a remote where we operated the camera when ready. There was a huge mirror infront of us so we could see how we posing and then the image came up after the "click" on a screen to our right. ABSOLUTE FUN and I thought what a great idea for a party of sorts.
