AMW Reports: Garnier Pure Active Launch and Fans Day!

When Major of Garnier Philippines invited me to be one of his guests for their Garnier event at the Robinson's Equitable Tower in Ortigas, I immediately checked my schedule and was glad my schedule was open and I said YES right away! 

I braved Saturday traffic and didn't know what to expect when I arrived!  I can see a lot of reds and blues to represent the launch of Garnier Pure Active while I'm glad to still be part of the "theme" as I wore the original Garnier color - Green!

And who've thought today will be the day I will have a face to face encounter with Ms. Georgina Wilson?  The gorgeous face of Garnier Pure Active!

Let me start from the beginning and share to you what happened!

The event was hosted by Junior Product Managers Arlene and Major!  If they did not wear the Garnier jacket, you would've thought they were professional emcees!  Kudos to them for the great hosting skills, I can't count the times I've laughed!

Garnier Philippines Brand Manager, Barbara Ramos, welcomed everyone to the intimate gathering of Garnier fans from both Facebook and Twitter!  Amazing, Garnier took time to prepare this special day specifically for Garnier Fans!  I can see the "jive" the team got with the fans!  It was like they've been friends forever!

I was told that the event was prepared in a rush and it was just a sudden idea over lunch by the Garnier team to create fans day, seriously speaking, I can't tell!  The decors, registration service, hosting, slide shows and video presentations are done so seamlessly I would think this event was prepared for months!

To break the ice, a "Pinoy Henyo" (Filipino Genius) type of contest was done wherein contestants ask various questions and audience can only answer "Yes", "No" or "Maybe" and the contestant will guess the answer!  It was mostly about Garnier products and everyone who joined took home a Garnier loot bag filled with Garnier goodies!

Then the unveiling of the new line of Garnier Product called Pure Active!  Who would've thought on a busy Saturday afternoon like this, THE GARNIER PURE ACTIVE Model Ms. Georgina Wilson would appear in front of us and stun everyone with her beauty!

Georgina shared to us her experiences on pimples and how pimples could ruin anyone's day!  I was even randomly asked a question on how I deal with it if a pimple appeared just in time when I'm going out for a date.

I sheepishly answered: "I would probably lie and reschedule for another date!"  Georgina laughed and exclaimed: "See? Pimples can turn us into liars too!" 

So true!

The day after is also Georgina's birthday so she was surprised by Garnier staffs with flowers and cake and everyone sang her a birthday song!

Off we went to have our photos and videos taken!  Then buffet dinner was served and everyone went home full, happy and met a couple of new friends!

Congratulations Garnier Team for the successful event!  Thanks Major for the invite, Shen and I had loads of fun!!!

Seems to me this line is great for girls and boys who suffer from the 6 Skin Problems ---

• Pimples
• Whiteheads
• Oiliness
• Enlarged Pores 
• Impurities
• Uneveness

I guess the products would suit normal to oily skinned!  
Anyone seen the Garnier Pure Active Line?

I Wonder: Do You Use Clarifying Shampoo?

I have always been in constant search for ways to have better looking hair!  As commercials would say, "A woman's hair is her crowning glory."  Believe it or not, it does make sense!  Have you tried going to work in a good mood because you have good hair day?  Don't you love it when someone mentions how nice your hair look today?

*nods*  *nods* 

One of the many not-so-secret secret in taking care of your hair is by using a Clarifying Shampoo at least once a week!  Do you really need it?

The answer varies, and... I DO!

I've once read an article on how clarifying shampoos are designed to remove hairstyling products residues from hair sprays, serums, gels, mousses even from your daily conditioner!  I used to think that statement is just meant for marketing tactic and we really do not need one.

Until one day, when I finally gave clarifying shampoo a try, it makes a huge difference!

Schwarzkopf Essensity Clarifying Shampoo 

is the first clarifying shampoo I've tried

(feel free to try out other brands)

A closer look on the ingredients

I read that clarifying shampoos that contains Lauryl Sulfate is actually a safe yet super effective ingredients to help deep-cleanse your hair.

What I have noticed when I incorporated Clarifying Shampoo in my hair care regimen ---

• Hair feels softer and lighter!
• Hair looks surprisingly healthier.
• My hair is easier to style and my weekly hair treatment works much better after using a clarifying shampoo.

What you should do to make clarifying shampoos work ---

• Use at least once every 2 weeks if you don't use a lot of hairstyling products. Use once a week if you use products like hair serums, heat protective sprays or serums, hair coloring products etc..
• Concentrate on the roots as this is where most of the natural oil exists.
• Apply more conditioner or hair treatment after using clarifying shampoo as they tend to strip off excess oil which may make normal and dry hair a bit drier than usual.
• It is best to use clarifying shampoos before you do any hair treatment like hair coloring or perming! 
• If you get itchy scalp or dandruff, STOP usage immediately!

 If you ask me, YES I think Clarifying shampoo is essential for me and I am enjoying the benefits of using one!

Now, I wonder:
"Do you use/need clarifying shampoo?"

Let me know which brand are you using and if it works for you!
