More Than Shopping
Faux lashes for everyone! Fashion on Sale goes glam with beauty demos, a braidbar & more
Fashion and beauty go hand-in-hand, so it just makes sense girls should have some glam to go with all the ridiculously amazing deals at CultureMap’s Fashion on Sale event Friday through Sunday at West Ave at River Oaks.
Cerón, Edward Sanchez Cosmetics, The Do Bar and Azur West will all have a presence at the event, showing shoppers how to expertly apply lashes, perfect the fishtail braid, add luxurious extensions and jump ahead to fresh spring hairstyles. Between live demonstrations and the chance to get pampered in between shopping stops, there’s something for everybody.
Makeup whiz Edward Sanchez is giving away a pair of his exclusive faux lashes to every person at Fashion on Sale, with tips on how to apply them in the first place. At home. By yourself.
At the VIP preview Friday night, Cerón will pluck one party girl from the crowd and give her a spring-worthy hairstyle. He and his team are also styling the models during the Tootsies/Elaine Turner fashion presentation, so there are plenty of opportunities for some springspiration.
Sanchez and his team will also be on hand all three days during Fashion on Sale, introducing his exclusive faux lashes. The makeup whiz is giving away a pair to every person at Fashion on Sale who provides him with an email address, and taking it one step further by teaching classes on just how to apply them in the first place. At home. By yourself.
“I have a foolproof technique to put them on that I will reveal at Fashion on Sale. I will show how to make lashes work for you, because lashes are luscious, romantic and sexy,” Sanchez says.
The lashes will be available at his Edward Sanchez Vanity Lounge spot at the Fashion on Sale event. He will also chat about products and spring color trends throughout the weekend.
West Ave. retailers The Do Bar and Azur West are keeping shoppers ahead of the curve with demonstrations during Fashion on Sale weekend. Azur West is taking the stage to show off the newest hair extension trends and technology at 10 a.m. Saturday and then will be selling exclusive Shu Uemura products at a discount and hair styling.
If you ever had questions about hair extensions, this weekend is the time to ask, as Azur stylists will be on hand to talk about extensions and how they work. Book an extension appointment at Fashion on Sale and Azur West is giving special discounts on extension applications.
The Do Bar will be on hand Saturday and Sunday with a braid bar, where shoppers can sign up for discounted braid services. A headband braid, a side French braid and a fishtail are among the choices for shoppers. Sunday at 11 a.m., braid experts from the blowout bar will break down the mystery behind the twisted locks with a Braid 101 presentation. Makeup artist Sarah Tucker and her talented team are also setting up a lash bar (independent of Sanchez) selling and applying an array of lashes for $12. Tucker estimates it takes a total of 10 minutes to apply a set of lashes.
Both salons are also coiffing the models, which will be showing off spring styles for Lot 8/Chloe Dao, CrOp by David Peck, Marlo Miller Boutique and Hello Lucky Saturday and Sunday.
Admission ranges from $20 for a weekend pass to $75 for the VIP party Friday night. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.
