Garnier Born to be Blonde Transformation & Win

Garnier Born to be Blonde

Hello lovelies! You may remember me mentioning a trip I took up to Jozi recently, for the Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blonde launch or seen a few the pics I posted on social media. Today I am sharing my transformation to 50’s retro icon, with you – you can see my finished look below. I will take you behind the scenes on the day and there is also chance to win something, so read on!

Garnier Born to be Blonde

I arrived in Jozi, after a very early start, accompanied by three beauty and fashion bloggers – Abby from One Stilletto At A Time, Carlinn from Superfical Girls and Eloise from Eloise Dreyer Beauty. We had a quick breakfast and were then driven, in our retro rides for the day, to the stunning Veaudry Hair Salon. At the salon we were given a presentation on the new Garnier Pearly Blonde range and a bit of history behind being “blonde”. After the formalities our Garnier Born to be Blonde adventure truly began.

Garnier Born to be Blonde

We each had an indepth consultation with our stylist, we discussed our colour choice, as well our vision for our retro 50’s alter ego!

I must admit I was a bit nervous at first when we were chatting about what colour to choose. I was not really keen on going very light blonde! Don’t get me wrong, I love being blonde and I have probably had every blonde hair colour under the sun, including strawberry, which was not a plan! I have however been trying to grow out the very light ash, which I had done a while back. This has resulted in a more ombre look which I love. So when Leandi, my stylist, decided on keeping my more ombre look and adding a few highlights and a darker blonde colour, to accentuate my natural blonde, I was over the moon!

So the process transformation began…

After hair and makeup we were dressed and styled to best reflect our retro 50’s Garnier Born to be Blonde persona. Once the full transformation was complete we were whisked off to Montecasino for our “retro 50’s” photoshoot.

As well as our photoshoot and individual video diaries, Expresso were also on location for the day to capture our Born to be Blonde experience – you can pop over to watch the clip here.

What an awesome way to spend the day! I must admit though, being a model is lots of hard work, especially in 34º weather but it was worth all the hard work. We had such fun on our Garnier Born to be Blonde journey – proving that maybe, just maybe blondes do have more fun 😉

    Definitely Marilyn Monroe! Ms Monroe epitomised the full-bodied feminine glamour of 1950s beauty – I just think of a creamy complexion, blonde luscious locks, fluttery lashes and ruby-red lips.

    My favourite blonde icon is Cameron Diaz. Maybe not from Marilyn’s days but still an icon for me 🙂

    Without a doubt, my favourite blonde is Taylor. She has fun and shakes off rumours and embraces feminism and her bad dancing. She’s real and so loveable!
