Kérastase Initialiste Blogger Workshop

This gotta be one of the most exquisite blogger workshop I've ever attended. Kérastase, many have heard and testified this number one luxurious hair care products. I'm feeling lucky for getting the chance to try on their newly launched scalp and hair serum - Initialiste.






Kérastase Initialiste, this is gonna be a great experience.




Kérastase, being the first class brand in the industry of hair care products, there are many testimonials been made by customers that how their hair texture and hair care experience have improved ever since they get in touch with Kérastase. As this is my first time trying Kérastase product, I'm anticipating the result as my hair is pretty much damaged lately due to all the chemical treatments I've made to them. *sobs*





Products from Kérastase, cater for each needs.





Thanks for the Tammy's introduction, I get to join the blogger workshop which introduces Kérastase latest scalp and hair serum - Initialiste which by that time, just newly launched in the market. The blogger workshop were held at a all-white classy hair salon called Razor Edge at One Utama, Old Wing and we're the very first batch of bloggers who gets to try on the no.1 serum and it was truly an amazing experience.

A welcome speech by the owner of Razor Edge hair salon.



Right after that, we're being lead into a private room, a room that prepares for the 4 of us to enjoy the experience of Kérastase Initialiste. We found our name on a hand-written card and seated accordingly on the comfy salon sofa, with flowers and towel specially prepared for us. The product introduction will be done by viewing slides using an iPad! Swift!





Clean, simple and comfortable, me likey!







What a tasteful decoration by Kérastase.
I wonder is this how French do it.





Kérastase, established in year 1964 in France, the brand has never stop doing research in advancing their technology of hair care. Initialiste is the result of a 24 years stem cells research that has been done by Kérastase.





Initialiste - The 1st scalp and hair miracle serum.



Yes, Initialiste is the very first skincare-inspired scalp and hair serum that's been launch to the market in April. People realised that stem cells boosts our cells regeneration in a faster speed, that's why stem cells used in skincare for skin repair isn't something new in the skincare industry, but none has thought of the stem cells in scalp and hair care serum, and Kérastase has spent 24 years of doing research and finally developed Initialiste as the FIRST and number 1 hair care serum in this industry, the brand is truly a pioneer in the field of hair care.





Kérastase Product Educator - Anderson, briefly go through with us the story of Initialiste and the product's information. 






Besides product information, Anderson taught us how to use the product.
It is easy as 1-2-3 that one can just apply the product by themselves at home.



This super serum contributes the 4 attributes of total hair beauty: Strength, Shine, Softness and Substance. These are the results that everyone is seeking for whenever they apply haircare products, and just by 7 days of usage, visible result of hair transformed can be felt. The ingredients of Initialiste is the stem cells of plant such as green apple to nourishes and regenerate the stem cells of our hair so that it'll replenishes the growth of it.





The serum is light and smells refreshing too, just like green apple.



The purpose of the workshop is to let us witness the effectiveness of Initialiste even just one time application. After viewed the slides and listened to Anderson's explanation, I really can't wait to see what the super serum can do to my hair. I really, really hope it can save my hair. Here comes the moment that I've been waiting for. 






My hair, before wash and before applying Initialiste.
Pretty much damaged isn't?





On the side note, hair wash and hair treatment masque were using Kérastase's as well, from the Elixir Ultime 24-Carat regimen. I enjoyed the hair washing session so much, felt so pampered by the hair salon and the whole Kérastase team.




Wearing a Kérastase coat, ready to experiment the all new Initialiste super serum.




Divide your hair into sections: Fine hair - 3 sections and mine, which have slightly thicker hair, 4 to 5 sections. Apply one full pipette of Initialiste hair serum onto the scalp. You hear me right, the serum isn't for your hair, but for the hair roots and scalp, the core for hair growth, and where the stem cells are located.




Apply one full pipette of serum throughout the line of the section.








Feels good~!






Once done applying, massage the entire head to distribute the serum entirely and voila, done!



See, like I mentioned before, it is easy as 1 2 3! Wanna see the result with just the first time application?





Blow dry my hair first! Haha.







Tadaaa~! My hair after applying Kérastase Initialiste for the first time.





Kèrastase Initialiste is the only product they applied onto my hair scalp after wash. I am amazed by the result because my hair became smoothen, strengthen and volumized with just the first application. Initialiste strengthen the hair from the roots, throughout the whole application and blow dry process, only a few strands of hair dropped that's all. My hair is soft eventhough not applying any leave-on moisturiser, that is what truly made me believe that Initialiste is THE product for my hair, the solution and answer for hair beauty.




Kérastase Initialiste, my number 1 super serum I would say!









Zheng Norah, Tammy and Lisa enjoyed the workshop as much as I did!






Trust me, even you have a full make-up on face, if the hair doesn't look healthy or pretty, the whole looks of that day will be ruined. Thanks to Kérastase for understanding women needs of healthy and beautiful hair that 24 years of research leads to the born of Initialiste which 9 out of 10 women saw the result after one week of usage:

  • 89% agree their hair is shinier
  • 87% felt their hair is thicker and more substance
  • 86% felt their hair is stronger and softer to the touch




Yes, we saw that too! I enjoyed this blogger workshop so much, thanks to Kérastase Malaysia team and Razor Edge Hair Salon. Of course, thanks to Tammy who invited me over to take part in this luxurious haircare experience.



We're all set to go shopping and a girls day out with our beautiful-looking hair!

また Hair Color Change

Is time for hair color change again. Not really a drastic one but I can't really decide what hue should I go for with the black. 

Blue or purple?

Artisan Roast Coffee

Just like every other girl, I'm totally obsessed over cozy lil cafe that serves good coffee, but honestly, I'm not a coffee person but more to a chocolate person. Well, I just love the ambience of a nice cafe.



Been hearing bout Artisan Roast Coffee for quite some time, but never visit one before because I'm kinda unsure bout their location, until my friend brought me to the one located at TTDI, that's my first encounter with Artisan.



When I walked into the cafe, the first thing I can remember is the whole cafe is filled with aromatic coffee smell that makes people feel so relaxing! The artwork on wall, the friendly baristas, the cozy lighting and sofas, the place is perfect for a mini getaway.



I had a cup of Mocha and my friend recommended a slice of their smooth cheese cake which is so rich and creamy, bet the cheese lover out there will crave for it!



As much as I love the atmosphere at Artisan, I find that I don't really fit in the place in terms of their coffee. I like chocolate based drinks like Mocha, and syrup to me is a must or else the cuppa will be too bitter. That's what happened to my cup of Mocha, tad bit bitter. I studied the chart flow drew on their wall and yes, I'm in the wrong cafe I guess. lol.


Nonetheless, Artisan is really a nice place to chill, perfect blend of coffee and art.

Bag of Love Unzipping Tea Party

It was one of the most girlish afternoon I can ever recalled, an afternoon with girls dressing up, cakes, lollipops, and skincare beauty goodies zipped up in a lil bag prepared with love. Thanks to Bag of Love, Delectable Treats from Delectable by Su, The Butterfly Project and Tammy for the arrangement, 50 bloggers were invited to the Bag of Love Unzipping Tea Party. The very first unzipping event for beauty 'box' held at Malaysia.





Delectable by Su, Paradigm Mall







Super love all the lovely decorations in the shop.






These, are sponsored by none other than Tammy!
Thank you my beloved mamasan. lol










One lollipop for each of us and there are Seven Sins of Chocolate in mini size.
I wish I can have one right now.








More desserts - cupcakes, nuts, marshmallows and chocolate balls.
Om nom nom nonstop.



If it wasn't for the passion of sharing stuff about beauty and skincare, the passion of blogging, this tea party wouldn't been organized and Tammy's generosity really inspired me alot. She is one role model that I look up to in this blogosphere who constantly give instead of receive, just like this tea party, she sponsored the party package, pay from her own pocket. I'm really touched by her generous act.





Same goes to Mimi, the founder of Bag of Love. Her passion about beauty, skincare and wanting to share with people around her has made her start the Bag of Love business. It is the love of being beautiful and the heart of sharing that drives the former-beauty-magazine-writer to making her dream come true.





On that very day of the tea party, Mimi was featured on the newspaper.
Read her story here!








Highlight of the day - Little Beauty Bag
by Bag of Love.




Before we unzip the little beauty bag which stuff with surprises, of course, the organizers have something to say...


Tammy, represents The Butterfly Project
Giving a short introduction of the days programme.







Pretty Mimi, giving a short opening speech, and officially announce...







Here starts the unzipping ceremony of the April version's Bag of Love.







In the count of 1, 2, 3, the surprise in the bag shall be reveal...









TADAA!!! These are all the beauty goodies that can be found in April's Bag of Love.
And yes, you see it right, there's a brush included!!!




Same concept as beauty boxes, but in a bag (what can we do with all the boxes anyway right?). Each month different design, Bag of Love shares beauty and skincare products which Mimi found good and useful. Different design of bag each month, each selected and packed by the full-of-love founder, and then send to their respective subscribers. So far, the response to Bag of Love was tremendous that the first and second beauty bag were completely sold out!





As promised by Mimi, no sachets will be found inside these beauty bags as she knows how it feels when subscribers paid but only receive sachets. All the products that she includes in each month's beauty bag will be deluxe sample size/travel size item. Now that's what we called: A beauty bag that's prepared with full of love.





In conjunction of Earth Month, April's Bag of Love design is eco-friendly with no chemical bleach.
Say yes to loving the earth beauty lovers!




As aforementioned, the beauty bag unzipping tea party took place at Delectable Treats, Paradigm Mall. Delectable by Su isn't some strange name that pops up from no where, their distinguish reputation of fine cakes and desserts won hearts of dessert cravers. I am one fan of theirs and my pick will always be the 7 sins of Chocolate.




In conjunction with the tea party, Delectable by Su sponsored their Afternoon Tea set which at that time, has yet to be launch (means you can get your afternoon tea set at Delectable Treats at Paradigm Mall outlet now!). And Oh-Em-Gee that their afternoon tea set consists of delicious macarons, cakes, cookies and aromatic tea.






Delicious~






Afternoon tea set for 2 is absolutely enough to fill tummy of 4 person.
We can't finish all.



Chocolate cake and macarons are what I love most!




The Afternoon Tea set is available everyday, from 2pm - 6pm at Delectable Treats, Paradigm Mall outlet. You can choose Tea Set for 1 for RM15( 1 of each 8 items) or Tea Set for 2 for RM28(2 of each 8 items). Their items are as below:

Cute, Sweet, limited edition fabric button badges!!!




It was one of the most relaxing afternoon I've had recently with beauty lovers, dessert lovers, selca-lovers and of course, if weren't for this thoughtful lady, none of these can be done...




Thank you cute meow meow Tammy.
