ROAR Event

Posted on April 14, 2014March 30, 2020 by Elaine

Last month I was honoured to help put together ROAR – an event envisioned by Sommer of Flirt Custom Lash.

Sommer wanted a way to give back to other women who have found strength through struggle and we were so happy to be able to work with WoodGreen.org and 5 ladies of the Homeward Bound program.

Together with a team of other amazing women generously helping out by donating their time and talent, our guests were treated to an afternoon of hair + makeup, style advice, a “shopping” spree and a photo shoot.

Here are some images of the memorable afternoon:

This event could not be made possible without the help of the Blush Pretty team who dolled up the ladies, styling by the talented Tamika Auwai who worked with the guests to find work appropriate outfits to suit their personal style, photography of the event by Barb Dubrawski and head shots for the ladies to use on linked In by Natasha Barrett.

All the clothing, shoes and accessories used for the event were from generous private donations but I am especially thankful for the contribution provided by LOFT. They helped make the day extra special!

The event was a huge success and I’m looking forward to helping out with it again next year! The ladies of the Homeward Bound program said they had a fabulous time and never felt so pampered <3 it was lovely to be a part of something so special 🙂

  • Nail extensions that last weeks but don’t damage your natural nails?!?! Check out the process for getting Après-X nail extensions! There aren’t many salons in Toronto that offer this service, but so far, I’m a fan! I love bio-gel, but I have the WEAKEST nails, so after I get the extensions removed, my nails shred and take forever to grow back out. I heard about this soak-off style, and couldn’t wait to check it out for myself! I haven’t gotten them removed yet, but I’ll update you all when I do! ✅ durable like bio-gel ✅ light and thin ✅✅✅

  • Lip balm that changes color depending on your skin’s pH?! @winky_lux pH Lip Balm goes on clear, then transforms to a perfect color based on your skin’s pH (level of acidity). It’s so fun to see what color the balm becomes! It’s giving major mood ring vibes The formula is silky (not sticky), and the color lasts pretty well! So far, I’m impressed. Available at @shoppersbeauty @shoppersdrugmart! —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #winkylux #shoppersdrugmart #shoppersbeauty #drugstorebeauty #affordablemakeup #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfree #phlipbalm #moodring #colorchanging #lipbalm #torontopr #torontobeautybloggers
  • Lately, I’ve been feeling a more subtle look. ☁️ Swapping out the black winged liner for a smidge of grey; trading in the full-coverage base for something a little softer. Not exactly sure why, but so far, I like it. ✨ Wearing @milkmakeup sunshine skin tint in light* + @uomabeauty drama bomb mascara* + @annabellecosmetics kohl eyeliner in charcoal* + @madeupbeauty_ lip conditioner in piña colada* + @lysbeautyofficial bronzer in motivate *gifted products @shoppersbeauty @natapr_ @matinee.studio @lexprcanada —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #subtlemakeup #naturalmakeup #crueltyfreemakeup #torontopr #muotd #softmakeup #everydaymakeup #affordablemakeup #thoughtfulchoicesatshoppers
