Sephora

Posted by sarah | Filed under Daily Bread

Sephora opened its first multi-brand store in Singapore, a couple of weeks back. I was SUPER excited because I’m a huge Sephora Fan. Sephora is basically like a departmental store (think Metro, BHG, etc), but its all just Cometics, skincare, fragrances… In other words, a dream come true for me!

In the states, the Sephora stores are massive! filled with many (over 30 brands) but of course when it came to Singapore, it was a smaller space, prices of products were marked up but no matter what, its DEFINITELY worth a trip down. I’ve already been there atleast 6 times and I can’t get enough!

Other than the brands we already have locally (Pupa, Dior, Clarins etc), as well as their famous Sephora House brand, they also brought in few more international brands:

POP Beauty

(I’ve been using their products for the past 2 years and I absolutely ADORE their products!) Their eyeshadows have a very good colour payoff and their mascara (LASH KAPOW) is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE! Price wise: Definitely worth a buy!

BECCA Cosmetics

A little bit more on the pricey range, but if you want to invest in a Becca product, get the Becca Jewel Dust! Its so lovely, shimmery and very pigmented colours!
Price Wise: Pricey, but pretty good quality

TOOFACED Cosmetics

One product you absolutely CANNOT afford to miss out on from this brand, are their glitter liners! In my opinion, more shimmery and longer lasting than MAC Cosmetics
Price Wise: Reasonable

There are few more other brands but these are just the few that I adore, and highly recommend!
I also highly recommend you make a trip down to Sephora and check out the goodies for yourself. I’m pretty sure, you won’t leave empty handed!

2009

Posted by sarah | Filed under Daily Bread

2008 has been a wonderful year for me. I learnt so much from myself as well as the people around me.
2008 gave me experiences that would last a lifetime. It was a challenging year but you can’t get to the rainbow , without having to go through a rainstorm first, right?

2008, will always be remembered by me, as the year that paved my way for my career.

Having finally published my website (Thank you SO much George, www.be-lifted.com), meant I had taken the next step into my career, a new responsibility, a new chapter. I’ll also never forget the immense excitement when I was told I was selected to do makeup for the celebrities during the NationalDayParade 2008. It meant so much to me, that my work was finally being recognized!

Having my own Youtube Channel with makeup tutorials, was a very tedious but exciting experience. It still is. Even more now, that I reached ONE THOUSAND suscribers worldwide. I look forward to creating many more exciting tutorials!

Late October was the first time my makeup was featured in a magazine. Sutra magazine gave me such encouragement and I hope that’s the beginning of many more Magazine shoots for me.

Even if it was for a few seconds, seeing myself on Vasantham Central, doing what I LOVE, was a feeling, I STILL cannot describe. Thank you Mahima.Biz for always choosing me as your Head Makeup Artist

And finally, thank YOU all. My lovely readers, friends, family…2008 would have been nothing if it wasnt for all your love, care, and encouragement.
And so, we bid farewell to 2008, and hope 2009 brings us all this greatness…. and more
