Kérastase Oléo-Relax Slim launch

Art and beauty were everywhere at Lissage, dahlings, held at the chic Establishment at the Fort. The successful launch was hosted by Kérastase. As I entered the Establishment, I was amazed at how superbly decorated it was. Art installations showcased strings, glass and rattan wires, palanggas. Glamorous dresses, wicked cocktails and tons of beautiful people had a blast and stayed on ?til 3 a.m., would you believe?

Lissage, the French term for ?smoothness,? summarized the theme of this happening for the new Oléo-Relax Slim by Kérastase. From Recherche Avancée L?Oréal, Oléo-Relax Slim is a luxurious two-step salon ritual and home-care program that transforms dry, rebellious and voluminous hair to become smooth and completely controllable. The product combines Ceramides, Camelina oil, Pracaxi oil and apricot oil; even the frizziest hair would become manageable, explained the hardworking Miss with the 4 B?s Tessa Dragon, L?Oreal corporate communications manager.

Three talented artists Ryan Villamael; Goldie Poblador and Geoff Gonzales complete the event with their creations.

Beautiful works of art, surprises, excellent food, booze and all cool giveaways were gathered under a single posh roof.

Yes, dahlings, leave it to Kérastase to come up with the biggest fun party of the year, palanggas.
