Launch of Adidas 2010 collection
Posted by sarah | Filed under events
I did makeup for an event last week at VivoCity. It was for Adidas, and they had a line up of footballs in glass casing, and on the stage, curtains covered a big replica of a football. It was the official unveiling of “Jabulani”, the Official Matchball of World Cup 2010.
Apart from a beatboxer and awesome samba dancers, there was a fashion show where the models were showcasing the latest Adidas World Cup 2010 Collection.I had a fun time, especially because the models were a fun bunch. The guys especially. Joking around with us, camwhoring and dancing!
The show began only at 12midnight (yes, we were outside Vivocity at midnight dng makeup and hair.LOL). This is because,apparently it was happening at the exact same time for all countries worldwide and there was a live feed from all the countries (Including Singapore) to South Africa cuz S.Africa is next yr’s host country

Meet Jabulani!
Invited for opening of THANN @ Orchard ION
Posted by sarah | Filed under events
Thann opened its first concept store at ION Orchard on 30th November.
I was invited for its official opening. Now I have to admit, I wasnt all that keen cuz I am totally not a skincare/spa person. I would go head over heels for makeup but for skincare, I’m on the fence. Of course at some stage in my life, I need to worry about my skin, but for right now I’ve been using PREVAGE(in the midst of using so will blog in a week or two).
LADIES , you MUST head down to THANN to atleast HAVE A LOOK. First of all, their store had this fabulous NATURE theme to it, and made the whole ambience all the more ‘at ease’. We were given a tour of the store, by one of the lovely sales assistants there, and she pretty much left me and wiwit in awe with so many products that appealed to us.
Here is why I like THANN:
– Its not just about aromatherapy products, it has natural skincare products as well.
– Thann is the FIRST brand to use the extracts of SHISO (a traditional Japanese plant known for its healing & antioxidant properties) as a key ingredient for their skincare products.
– Their products are suitable for both MEN and WOMEN
– The products are VERY reasonably priced!
I love how they cater to the different skin types
Our lil goodiebag
Oh and they were having 20% storewide for that day only, so I knew I HAD to take advantage of the discount! I skimmed through the shop and thought about what to buy. Then I recalled one particular item that I was instantly attracted to!!
AROMATHERAPY SHOWER GEL
I honestly cannot explain in words, how brilliant this smells! The scent of peppermint and eucalyptus oils as you shower.. OH WOW! I just bought this on 30th Nov, and my bottle is already two-thirds gone!! Because my brother is also sneakily using it! WHO CAN RESIST THE SCENT!!? And it only retails for SGD20 only, ladies. PURE LOVE!
They have some pretty cool GIFT SETS right now for XMAS too
Oh and for those not in Singapore, fret not, Thann is available worldwide!
Asia (Brunei, China, Indenosia, Japan, Malaysia, India etc…)
Europe( France, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Poland etc…)
Australia, Canada & Mexico!

Launch of a New Local Makeup brand!
Posted by sarah | Filed under events
Its started off as an online shop, and this new brand, though local, has become a hit with me in less than 4 hours! Its pretty much NEW (few weeks/mth old) and Im sure many have not heard of it.
I was called to do makeup for a shoot for them last weekend and I tried their products.
Only one item was a miss(the concealer) but everything else was a huge hit for me!
Im not gng to post the brand name out yet. (No its not UrbanDecay or any fancy overseas brand, but it has proved that locals can do a fab job as well!)This is just a teaser :D
To be honest, I have ALOT more that I took of the products but I didnt want you guys to find out YET so here are some pics of the shoot 
I made sure you guys you cant see the name!!
(But the black tubes reminded me of Givency. Its the exact same shape/size and the compacts reminded me of bobbiBrown. So alot of high end brand inspirations yet, this is a local brand…. am I teasing you too much yet?? )
There were 3 of us makeupartists and we had 2 looks each to create.
My lovely model Anna Lim 
SO STAY TUNED FOR THE NAME OF THIS NEW LOCAL BRAND, THAT WILL DEFINITELY TURN SOME HEADS!

WHAT ARE ‘YOUR’ VIEWS ON TESTERS AT MAKEUP COUNTERS?
Elizabeth Arden Private Bloggers event
Posted by sarah | Filed under events
Last night, a few of us beauty bloggers were selected to attend the private launch of the Prevage Anti Aging Moisturizer by Elizabeth Arden. The product hits our Singapore counters next week! (Takashimaya only apparently)
Prevage has launched a new product, an anti aging moisturizer with an SPF 30! I’m not going to go much into the product till I myself have ‘tried and tested’ it. I was a little skeptical about it at first because, ….well, lets face it, I’m obviously a makeup person… I’m not a skincare person at all! The only skincare I use is my Neutrogena facial wash that helps remove all traces of makeup each night before I go to bed! But the workshop last night left alot of us ladies, very impressed with the Prevage products. It basically is more of a clinical product, rather than cosmetic. What I mean is basically underlined in their tagline : “PROOF, not PROMISES”
Some of you may be asking, “anti aging?? at this age??”
Prevention is better than cure
And as a makeup artist, to be honest, makeup can only do so much for you. At the end of the day, you wash off your makeup, and see your naked face, THAT is what should make you smile. Our skin is like a canvas. And if the canvas is not even, not clean, then no amount of makeup will provide any long term difference. Dark circles, fine lines, eyebags, wrinkles , dark spots… as much as they can be concealed with makeup, it provides a short period of satisfaction. Taking care of your skin FIRST, will ensure a longer term satsifaction.
Over the next few weeks, I will try out the Prevage anti aging moisturizer, and will do my review on this blog, providing my honest opinion/feedback on the product. So stay tuned!
For now, I leave you with some photos from last night :
Me and Wiwit. (You might recognzie her as one of the other Youtubers featured with me in Urban newspaper few months back
Finally got to meet Nadia. One of my favourite bloggers (www.nadnut.liquidblade.com) We’ve been in touch for almost 2 years now so it was a nice surprise to see her there

Featured in URBAN NEWSPAPER (18.09.09)
Posted by sarah | Filed under Daily Bread, events
I’ve been really nervous AND excited for this day, not knowing what to expect! But thankfully the article turned out great and honestly, all I can say is from the bottom of my heart, i thank YOU guys for the immense support & love. I wouldnt have come this far without you all.
This whole experience felt so surreal. I always thought celebrities only get featured on newspaper and Im a makeup artist, we work backstage. We’re usually never infront of the camera, always behind! So you can only imagine how nervous the three of us ladies were on the day of the photoshoot! But lucky for us, the journalist, Nora, and photographer, Ash, were such lovely and patient people. Totally made us feel at ease.
Thank you once again to all my amazing supporters, and to Urban, for making me feel so special. Its a great feeling, knowing your hardwork has been recognized.

Certificate of Appreciation
Posted by sarah | Filed under events
Last year when my former Secondary School (CHIJ-SJC) called me up to ask if I would render my services for their 70th Anniversary Celebration, I didnt think twice, I just made my way down.
For the obvious reasons : I love makeup, I love and miss my secondary school, so not only was I able to do what I love but I was able to be back in the same place I was ten years ago, still surrounded by my favourite teachers.
So imagine my surprise and utmost gratitude when I was invited last month for their awards ceremony to receive a certificate of appreciation for my support with the makeup I did for their celebration last year.
I truly appreciate the gesture.
Thank you, once again
