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.

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.

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 😉

Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes “Born to be Blonde”

Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes

You may have seen me posting about the new Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes via social media over the past few days. I will be sharing a bit more about my Garnier “Born to be Blonde” experience soon but in the interim I thought I would share a few details about the product with you.

Garnier-Nutrisse Pearly-Blondes

Garnier Nutrisse has just launched blondes so nourished they shimmer!

A well-known fact for all women, is that your hair is the first thing that people look at when they see you. It defines who you are and is a reflection of your personality. If you have great hair, you feel great! The only problem when you are blonde is finding the perfect colour match, especially when you use home colour.

I can testify when you are blonde, it is hard to imagine your hair being anything else! I went really dark once but I simply did not feel like me!

Garnier-Pearly-Blondes

The search for your perfect blonde is over! New Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes in 3 iridescent shades delivers delicate natural looking blondes.

A few interesting “blonde” facts:

  • The word “blonde” is thought to derive from the Old English “beblonden” meaning “dyed.”
  • Blonde hair gets darker with age and pregnancy.
  • Women have been colouring their hair blonde since the time of Ancient Rome.
  • Alfred Hitchcock, the “master of suspense,” was obsessed with blondes and cast only blondes in his movies.
  • Just two percent of the world’s population is naturally blonde.

The new Garnier Nutrisse Pearly blondes deliver golden, iridescent, delicate blondes with shimmering nuances, thanks to it’s illuminating multi-tonal technology. Blondes are not only left with a multidimensional mix of tones but are left with hair which is soft and deeply nourished.

Garnier-Pearly-Blondes-Ingredients

The Ultra Nourishing Formula is enriched with 3 Oils (Avocado, Olive, Blackcurrant and Shea Butter). Your hair is left feeling silky and looking shiny. This combination of ingredients also helps protect your hair against dryness for up to 8 weeks.

The Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes ensure perfectly blended 100% grey coverage, for a long-lasting delicate pearly blonde with an incredible shine.

Nutrisse’s rich, non-drip colour crème is so easy to work through your hair. Just remember to read the packaging insert carefully and do the 48 hour allergy test before using the product.

Garnier Nutrisse Pearly blondes are available in all clicks stores and will be available in Dischem from the 1 February. RRP R99.95. For more information on the Garnier Nutrisse Pearly Blondes visit their Facebook page.
