FEATURED + GIVEAWAY: Maybelline Singapore
If you head to selected Watsons, Guardian and Sasa, if you look close enough, you’d be able to spot a familiar face at the MAYBELLINE COUNTERS:
I was so excited when I saw my face, I literally squealed in excitement, and the sales ladies was wondering if I was okay! Ive never ever had anything like this before and it was definitely an exciting moment for me 
Yes, thats my face, together with my lovely beauty blogger, and friend, Roseanne. The wobblers (as i found out they were called), features us both, expressing our love for the new Magnum Volume mascara from Maybelline. If you wanna read my blog entry on that mascara, click HERE.
So here’s the more exciting part for you all!
Maybelline has lovingly sponsored me with $500 worth of goodies which I will be giving away to FIVE readers! That means each person walks away with $100 worth of Maybelline goodies!!
I realize all my past 5-6 giveaways have been SUPEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR easy, all you had to do was answer an obvious TRUE or FALSE question, or just comment with your email address etc. So I decided this time Id make it more challenging!
As I mentioned, the WOBBLERS with my photo, are at selected Watsons, Guardian and Sasa. To take part in this giveaway, you need to spot the wobbler, and TAKE A PHOTO “WITH” the wobbler! 
\
RULES:
(1) Seeing how the wobblers are only in SINGAPORE, this giveway is only open to whoever is IN Singapore.
(2) You need to find the wobbler with my face, take a photo WITH the wobbler, which means to say you have to be in the shot (I know not all are comfortable with that but I figured this was challenging YET fun!)
(3) It can be either you or your friends or partner, in the photo.
(4) You can send in more than one entry
(5) You can email me the photos at sarah@facesbysarah.com
(6) you can also choose to TWEET me the pic (username: @facesbysarah)

Before & After: MarcAnthony Instantly Thick Blow out Lotion
I recently blogged about attending the private showcase for MARC ANTHONY HairCare products.
You can see more pics, and learn more about the products here: http://www.facesbysarah.com/2012/presenting-marcanthony-true-professional-hair-care/
So I tried out one of their products few days back! The INSTANTLY THICK FULL BLOW OUT LOTION, and i LOVED it!
Start off with lifeless, flat hair (excuse the face, i didnt have makeup on!)
Your hair should be a lil damp, I had wahsed my hair the night before, so i spritzed water all over my crown area, inside out.
Take a dollop of the INSTANTLY THICK FULL BLOW OUT LOTION, a round brush, and blow dry your hair, from root to tip!
The result??? FULLER , THICKER looking hair! My hair looked BIGGER!!! and im a huge fan of BIG hair!
I event went out with my friends and by the end of the day, you can see my hair was still looking VOLUMNIOUS, not flat at all!
Marc Anthony HairCare products will be available in Watsons, come JUNE 14th

PRESENTING: MarcAnthony True Professional Hair Care
I was recently invited to a private showcase for Celebrity Hairstylist MARC ANTHONY’s new hair care line which will soon debut in Singapore!
I was actually pretty excited thinking Marc Anthony himself will be down, however we know he’s a busy man, so his Artistic Director, Marilissa was there instead .
She was still as amazing, and even did a demo for us, on three models, to explain furhter bout the products.
Marc Anthony is the hair guru to Hollywood’s star. He has styled the tresses of celebrities like Catherine Zeta Jones, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton, Coldplay, Fergie, Justin Bieber, and so many more!
I got to say, Im SUPER thrilled about this line. Just hearing about what it can do for your hair, is enough for me to want to try em all out!
I will slowly be putting some of the products to the test!
Marc Anthony Hair Care has a really extensive range and I think we’re SO LUCKY that we got 75% of the range!! The balance, will hopeflly come in at a later date.
But for now we have total of 21 products!!! Leaves us spoilt for choice!
Here’s what you can expect in WATSONS come JUNE 14th:
In my next entry, I wil be featuring the MARC ANTHONY INSTANTLY THICK products, cuz Ive used it yesterdy and I am LOVING the results! ♥
HAUL: NYX Lipsticks
Believe it or not, but these are my first ever NYX lipsticks! I was at *Scape when I saw a booth selling NYX products so I was browsing when the lovely lady who manned the stall, ask m if I was Sarah Chaudhry…. ♥ ! I then asked her about the authencity of the products and she whipped out a letter from NYX headquarters certifying that they are the official and only distributors in Singapore, and she mentioned that anyone else selling NYX, MAY NOT be authentic. I shall not go deeper into this, cuz if I start, I wont stop! But anyways, she also mentioned that NYX will soon be available in our DEPARTMENTAL STORES lik BHG! How convenient!
And the booth will be at Scape EVERY fri-Sat till 10pm, till the end of May or June, I believe.
Anyways you can also check out their facebook page HERE ♥
I only bought 3 lipsticks cuz I wanted to try them out for the first time! Super excited! 2 matte shades and 1 glossy one!
The MATTE ones cost SGD9.70 each and the regular ones cost SGD6.70 each
SO PIGMENTED! ♥
LOVING it so far!! Been using the nude shade, almost everyday now! ♥
TheBodyShop: Beauty With Heart Makeup Collection
Incase you havent heard, the lovely LILY COLE is the new global ambassador for The Body Shop.
“The brainy Cambridge University graduate has joined forces with the high street cosmetics giant as part of their new beauty movement, Beauty with Heart, which aims to promote their skincare and make-up products – all made using vegetarian and fairtrade ingredients that are never tested on animals –
as well as the brand’s global campaigning initiatives.” -marieclaire.co.uk
In collaboration with Lily Cole, The Body Shop has released a range of limited-edition cruelty-free make-up.
I attended a very exciting “BEAUTY WITH HEART” event organized by TheBpdyShop Singapore, unfortunately that was the one day I forgot to bring my camera! But if you follow me on twiiter and instagram (both username FACESBYSARAH), then you would have seen me uploading pics taken with my hp!
So anyways I went home with a bag of goodies, too much so Im gonna share! Stay tuned for that on my facebook page ♥
Before I go into the makeup range, I also received some other products.
First being BodyShop’s famous BODY BUTTER, but in a new packaging!! Still the same amazing product, but in a new packaging
and a newproduct, BEAUTIFYING OIL
The oil comes in many yummy scents, and I received FOUR bottles, two of which Im giving away! ♥
The beautifying oil is pure beauty in a bottle. Made with a lightweight blend of nut oils including Community Fair Trade marula oil, it gives instant hydration and a shimmering finish.It can be used on your body,face and hair! One lovely young lady at the BodyShop event, gave me a lil demo and applied it to my hand. I wasnt too keen at first cuz I hate that icky oily feeling that stays BUT after she rubbed it on, after a while I felt my hand and it was just SOFT , hydrated skin. NO icky oily feeling. and the smell… lets say people thought I was crazy to be sniffing my hand through out the evemt! I even applied it to my hair and later took a photo with my phone and uploaded it to Instagram. SO SHINY! Ive been using it non stop on my hair for the past few days, and I have to say, my hair looks shiny! I dont apply it to the scalp tho, just to the ends, cuz thats dehydrated most!
Ok so onto the makeup! I gotta say I loved the packagin! HOT PINK, and spots that ummm resembled leopard spots! You know i have a weakness for anything leopard print !
HiShine Lip reatment
The sizes are TOO CUTE!
Liquid Eyeliner in #20,
a magnificient shimmery purple!
Honestly.. how gorgeous is this shade?? Its got like flecks of other tones in it! and it doesnt come off so easily! So you know it will stay on
Lip & Cheek Dome
I realize there’s a huge trend right now for cream or gel blushes! So many brands are churning out gel/cream/mousse blushers this season
Ok I wont lie, I was literally fascinated for like a good 5 minutes, at how SHINY the dome was!
A very very sheer colour payoff. Better for those who are fairer cuz it barely appeared on MY cheeks when I tried it but gives a nice touch of colour to the lips if you layer it a couple of times but i wouldnt be too keen to use this forr both lips AND cheeks with the dome as the applicator. Id prefer to scrape some off with a brush and apply it to the lips
Pearl Radiance Primer
I love the concept of this. Tiny pearly pearls inside are “crushed” as you pump the bottle. and mixes with the liquid
So at first pump, the crushed pearl comes out with the liquid
And then as you rub/blend it out, you can see the particles better. These give you a very radiant, illuminating effect on your skin
Puff On Radiance
HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LOVE ANYTHING FLUFFYYYYYYY??? ♥ ♥
You can apply this with the fluffy puff, or use a large brush to buff it out onto the skin
you can use this for your face bt I think this would be so fabulous on the body like your arms or decolletage!
and then my FAVOURITE!!! The eyeshadow! or more commonly known as SHIMMER CUBES!
im really lovin the purple shades!!
and check out how intense the SWATCHES are!!! (NO eyeshadow primer used)
I cant wait to do a video tutorial with this!
And as promised, THESE are the items Im giving away to THREE Lucky fans! I will randomly divide the items to THREE WINNERS ♥
Stay tuned on my facebook page ( www.facebook.com/facesbysarah )

The pearly shades are softer, and “sweeter” but just as waterproof and smudgeproof!
You honestly have to try it out for yourself to see how BRILLIANT these pencils are. Im in awe!
Also speaking of AQUACREAMS, three new shades have been added rcently, with a slightly different formula!
My collection of Aqua Creams are building up, and i cant help it.. they are too good to give it a miss!!
You can only imagine my reaction when I had walked into MUFE and saw the new shades and went “OMG THERE ARE NEW SHADES????” and I went to swatch the YELLOW……………………………MY WHOLE FACE LIT UP!!!
The YELLOW shade is their first MATTE aquacream and these new shades are of a new formula. More creamier, more blendable, but still JUST AS AMAZING ♥
