This year's Father's Day, I did not have any plans with my family because they're 7000 miles away.  So I went to the Garnier pop-up tent at Luminato.  It's not the first year that Garnier had participated in the Luminato festival.  This year, they were offering hair colour diagnostics, skincare analysis, and hair styling!

Nathalia from Garnier showed me around the tent.  My first stop was the Hair Colour Diagnotisc station.  Everyone who visited the tent was given a pamphlet to help them take notes and see what Garnier products would suit them.


The hair colour specialist used the hair colour diagnostic tool that you can also find on the Garnier website to help you identify which colour would go with your skin tone and eye colour.  For me, my natural hair colour is Level 200, and the lady told me I can go up one or two level (that's level 300 or 400) if I want to see result with semi-permanent hair dye.  Of course, if I was looking into permanent hair dye, I could go a little higher too.  However, I would like less damage done to my hair, so she recommended me to try the HerbaShine ones.

Garnier hair dyes are my go-to when I used to dye my hair every 6 months.  I need to try their semi-permanent ones!

Hello all from California!

IMATS LA at Pasadena Convention Centre!!!
I am currently in Pasadena, CA with a few of my girlfriends (Stacey from StaceyBrennan on YouTube, Jessica and Pascale from Beautezine).  We're here to attend the annual IMATS LA at the Pasadena Convention Centre!  We will also be doing some sightseeing and shopping around LA too.  I'm really looking forward to this weekend!

It is our first day in Cali today, and it did not start off great.  First, I slept in and woke up at 6am when my flight was at 6:25am.  It scared the crap out of me and got my girls worried about me too =(.  But things start to get better once I got on another flight and go to LA.  Luckily, there was an 8am flight to Chicago, connecting to LA.  I still got there at 12:45pm, which is only 45 minutes later than the original one.  I'm so glad that American Airlines have great services and frequent flights!  So glad that I am here now!  Anyway, then the day got better when we start browsing around the city.  Look at all the city views... clear sky, palm trees, loveeee!!

If you live in the GTA, it's very likely that you have heard of or been to Luminato.  Luminato is a Festival of Arts and Creativity that happens every year in June for 10 days in Toronto, Ontario.  This year is their 6th anniversary and it is happening right now (June 8 to June 18)

I headed down there on Thursday after work to catch the Maybelline Summer Trend workshop by the one and only Grace Lee!  Grace is the Maybelline Lead Makeup Artist in Canada.  She did two demos on two beautiful girls form ROI relations.  First, Grace created, as one of the beauty editors there like to call it, the mermaid look...
