With Cynthia

This pic is from her blog..hence the watermark 🙂 Since I did not have it..

There was an interactive session with Sushma Khan – National Skin & Makeup Trainer, Lakme and Sudeep Grover – National Hair Trainer, Lakme Lever. They talked about their newly launched Air Brush Make up and the TIGI Volume Collection and how it works and how its better,etc

They even showed us a demo of air brush technique on Rohini and gave Karishma the Volume Boosting Hair Style..

Here are some pics..

The Air Brush Pen

An air brushing gun is used..in which a few drops the color matching your skin tone is added in it..and it sprays like a mist..very finely and slowly the whole face is covered..it just has to blended..we were said it gives a matte finish and stays on pretty well.

Here is Rohini after the complete make up..

For the Volumising style Sudeep used the TIGI Catwalk Volume Collection Your Highness Root Boost Spray..at the roots on the crown and the Firm Hold Spray and after styling…with the Weightless Shine Spray at the end. And some big rollers at the centre where the volume is needed..I was told the bigger the size the more the volume..and the biggest curler should be used at the front.

Here is Karishma after the Styling..

Some info from Press Note:

Some of the key services launched –

·         Ultimate Blow Dry: The service created through a range of Catwalk by TIGI Your Highness products results in soft, full of body hair that provides the perfect canvas to achieve remarkable volume.

·         Time Restore Protein Treatment:  Replenish the lost protein in the hair with the New Amino Cell Rebuild Technology that stimulates hair roots and increases the keratin levels that bring back the life and sheen.

·         The Ultimate Airbrush:  This revolutionary makeup treatment uses an airbrush to apply the products that leaves you with a natural and even look. It is waterproof, smudge proof and allows the skin to breathe as it uses minimal use of product.

·         Skin Light Masque:  In 20 minutes this service leaves your skin de-tanned and even. Ideal for all skin types, this organic mask regenerates, lightens and firms stressed skin with the use of plant ingredients as well as numerous anti-oxidants.

The well renowned Lakmé Studio Experts Sushma Khan and  Sudeep Grover have some trends and tips to share to keep your hair and skin refreshed this season.

Sushma Khan, Lakmé Studio Skin and Make-up Expert: Every woman’s beauty needs are unique and we completely understand their need to get personalized beauty treatments and skin care tips. At Lakmé Studio we make it a point to do detailed consultations before suggest any service to our customers. For this summer I would suggest that all women stick to the mantra of drinking lots of water, eating healthy and wear minimal make-up to give their skin a naturally radiant glow.

Sudeep Grover, Lakmé Studio, Hair Expert: With trends that change every season, the contemporary Indian woman is forever on the look out to experiment and try something new with her hair. Short hair with a bob-cut and a fun fringe is back in vogue. Earthy colours like browns and burgundy are very popular this season and you will find them in abundance on international ramps as well. In the summer, women tend to underestimate the damage that the sun can do to their hair. It is imperative to keep the hair healthy with a combination of good nutritional diet and products backed by scientific technology so that the tresses are voluminous and lustrous.

Summer Tricks and Trends by the Experts for this season

Skin-care trends

• Water based sunscreen with high SPF

• Drink plenty of water

• Night cream

• Healthy diet

• Anti-oxidants, Vitamin C  & Vitamin D  supplements

Sand Castle for a Cause at High Street Phoenix


A UK based Sand Wizard – Simon Smith, World Masters People’s Champion had built a 10X10 Sand Castle in the Courtyard at High Street Phoenix for “World Cancer Day”. Simon Smith, a Cancer survivor himself has taken this initiative in association with Sand Cult – Sand Sculpting Company and Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) to show the importance of this Crucial Cause. His extraordinary masterpiece was completed on February 4, 2012 – The World Cancer Day and will be exhibited until February 12, 2012.

The sand castle was free for everyone to see although donations in any kind were welcome since the sculpture was for a noble cause – to raise charity for cancer patients and support this art form and the artists.


Not only was this sand castle the first of its kind in Mumbai, but also is an epitome of humanity towards Cancer patients.
