Last week I spent a fun afternoon at the Quest Mall Satya Paul boutique with Bridgette Jones, makeup, food and the new Satya Paul Disney Mono Pop Collection. Bridgette Jones is a very popular Kolkata hair and makeup artist and she along with her daughter Danielle spoke about the new trends in hair and makeup and showed us various ways of styling the Disney Mono Pop collection sarees. At the store, I also took a look at the spring/summer collection and this is the one which has been created in association with Gauri Khan.
The event started off with Bridgette talking about hair extensions and showing us how in minutes, we can achieve longer fuller hair by just clipping on some extensions. The ones she showed were from Balmain and available at her salon. Next, she spoke about metallic tattoos, something that’s really become the rage. These tattoos stay on for nearly 3-4 days and you can stick them on anywhere. On your forehead, neck, back basically anywhere you want to and they really add such a fun element to a look.
The models were already draped in the Disney collection sarees and I must say their looks were quite interesting. I will definitely not be able to carry of those drapes but all of them looked great. One style I particularly liked was that of Danielle. She was wearing a plain black short sleeved t-shirt with a pair of black tights and the saree was actually draped like a dhoti. She wore a sequinned belt to fasten it around her waist and tied a scarf around her neck to complete the look. Very creative and very stylish! Bridgette herself was wearing a lace blouse with a Disney saree and she wore tights underneath as well. To carry off the drapes of the other two models, you will need to have those abs but if you do, go ahead and wear a crop top or a blouse, bare the stomach and experiment with the pallu. Tie it in knots, bows, whatever you fancy. And if you are not comfortable draping a saree, Satya Paul has a solution for that too. The ready made saree!

I could not stay at the event for too long coz I had to get to work but I heard that the nail artist did a stellar job giving fun nail makeovers. Take a look at some more pictures from the event.
