Simply You’s exclusive reader event Colour My Life kicked off with a bang this week, with the first event being held at Mantells On The Water in Auckland’s CBD
With special guest speakers including Resene colour expert Sarah Gregory, Design Ambassador for Carpet Court Jane Carolan, Hair stylist and Joico ambassador Nic Apaapa, and a cake decorating course from The Caker’s Jordan Rondel, as well as a makeup demonstration by Elizabeth Arden’s Lidean Erasmus and an exclusive fashion show by Ivy Blu and shoes by Ziera, the event was a huge success.
A special thanks to all our lovely guests – stay tuned for more updates from our Christchurch event.
